I wrote this in my greenhouse. I blasted Taylor Swift and blocked out the world and churned out chapter after chapter trying to bring my MC’s together when it felt like an impossible task. I loved writing this so much and hope people like reading it.

@KnittedCatLady Thank you! How are you? I’m off to DLP in a couple of weeks and was thinking of you! X

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

Friendship bracelets made. Chants practiced. Costume packed.

No, I have not joined a cult. IT’S ERAS TOUR TIME.

Have a great weekend everyone! #ErasTour #ItsTaylorTime

I’ve watched so many @hoofgp videos on YouTube that now whenever I peel potatoes and find one with a blemish I cut it away carefully and calmly like I’m treating a white line defect in Betty the Highland Cow.

They see a spy changing his appearance.

I see a man gradually turning into Santa.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Watch how quickly international spies can change their appearance

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

Some days I am a fully functioning and fairly together human being. Other days I stumble out of bed and try to put on my fingerless gloves as socks.

Guess which type of day I am having today.

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

@BookConvos @ChristinaBooks I just want to say this is emphatically false. All my children are ‘good’ and I worry about ALL of them. I spend days working out seating plans to benefit all my children. I’m sorry people had a negative experience in their school days, but it’s so much different now.x

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

I (currently teaching year 1) often put the ‘rowdy’ (ie. Loud) children (not making any gender assumptions, because wtf) next to the quiet ones to help them with their learning. The quiet ones are less inclined to talk, but the louder ones are not, and talk for learning works.

[Natali Simmonds @NJSimmondsbooks]

My eldest is the quiet, well behaved kid and the rowdy boys are always put next to her. Watch me bring this up at the next school meeting. Things are about to get awkward af. SHE IS NOT THERE TO REGULATE THE BEHAVIOUR OF OTHERS.

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

The implication that teachers ‘sacrifice’ any one child for another is wrong. We want them all to do well. We want them all to learn.

Trust your teachers.

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

Also, I’ve spent hours (if not days) putting together seating arrangements, so that all my children thrive. And then I test it for weeks afterwards to make sure it works for everyone.

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

I know my husband still loves me as much as the day he married me because at present I’m so run down and sick that my skin looks yellow and waxy and yet he still gave me a big kiss and smile this morning while calling me his ‘jaundiced goblin’.

This is true love, folk.

@RNAtweets hold their annual book awards in May and give out prizes for romance novels in ten categories with a red carpet ceremony. It’s the only reader judged awards of its kind and it’s all about romance 💕

[kate is drafting 🗡️ @akatepockett]

somebody on twitter responded to this thread and said we need a huge awards show like this for books and honestly i couldn’t agree more

imagine authors dressing up and walking the red carpet??? receiving awards for their books???? being celebrated?!?!?!

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

Love Lucy’s books - sexy, tropey and with just enough angst to make your heart flutter

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

My 11 year old niece’s list included: £124 bisou hair oils, £65 silk pyjamas, spaceNK makeup & a mini-fridge to store make-up. My 11 year old son, on the other hand, asked for Lego and Pokémon.

There’s no space for girls to be girls. They are sold adulthood far too young.

I AM A BOOK CLUB PICK 🥰

Me, who spends most of her time thinking about kittens and what makes an appropriate potato filling, is a BOOK CLUB PICK.

This is crazily wonderful.

Thanks @ChocLituk @WomansWorldUS

Sarah has a child in her class who is completely blind. She was insistent that he needed to be able to read his holiday card for himself. So, we picked up a braille slate and stylus online for a few pounds, and she’s spent the last half hour making him his own card. My heart 🥹

[Sharon-apparently-an-Orioles-fan-Ibbotson @seibbotson]

Happy Heavenly birthday Liam. You’re still so very missed.

[chloeandliamtft @chloeandliam24t]

Happy Heavenly 26th Birthday to our handsome Liam, forever missed by all your family and friends 💗💙
Thank you Stems Exclusive for the beautiful flowers as always 💗💙

It's now several hours since the unforgivably weak #COP28 draft text came out - which made no reference to fossil fuel phase-out at all, & leaders from France, Germany, EU, US & small island states have all widely condemned - yet still utter silence from UK Govt. Where are they??
