  1. @WheresJose So many great LPs from across the years. The tnues have made my policy writing almost pleasant this afternoon.
  2. @ClasswatchUK Going through my Jose vinyl LPS one by one. All time favourite track of his is If I Really Bug You from A Bag Full Of Soul LP
  3. @CurtisJobling Hell yes. We have a huge drive on literacy as well over the coming twelve months so should be able to work something in
  4. @CurtisJobling And I will also be working from home for about three weeks writing next year's school timetable
  5. @CurtisJobling Very little chance of a pre-summer gig. Main hall booked solidly as everyone plays catch-up once exams finish :-(
  6. @CurtisJobling I'm sure I will enjoy it. Think it will be a half term read when I can enjoy the time off.
  7. @CurtisJobling ... but the kids I showed at school loved them. One reluctant reader boy literally tried to grab book from my hand
  8. @CurtisJobling Case in point: there will be loads of purists who will hate the new cover designs for @philipreeve1 Predator Cities books...
  9. @CurtisJobling But it is is what is inside the book that is of the greatest importance, and if new packaging attracts new readers then great
  10. @CurtisJobling Yes, the OCD part of my brain likes to see a neat set of books with consistent packaging across the series....
  11. @CurtisJobling Great to see my review quoted on the first page. I unashamedly admit that I never tire of seeing that :-)
  12. @CurtisJobling Had a nice little surprise package arrived from Puffin this morning. The new cover design works really well.
  13. Working from home writing school's e-safety policy, wishing I was out enjoying the sun. Summery sounds of Jose Feliciano helping a little.
  14. On The Book Zone today: review of Keeper of the Realms: Crow's Revenge by Marcus Alexander bit.ly/Kfrfj3 @PuffinBooks
  15. @overflowingklc On 16th June? Yep, I'll be there.
  16. @Wetdarkandwild I'm still a little amazed. They are selling paperback of The Night Circus for same price.
