  6. Who would win a fight between the yukionna and nureonna? wp.me/pv5NQ-CL
  7. @HogSandwich I find that strangely comforting. Shopping centres are fair game, but libraries should be lovely places! Poor you though!
  8. @RealMGHarris Looks awesome! Well done!!
  9. @HogSandwich Ah, the quiet library life. I still can't believe it.
  10. @monkey_sam armpits, collarbone, nipples.
  11. @KarenCollum We have exactly the same problem and response...it's so sweet!
  12. @HogSandwich Nice!!!
  13. @Easyparenting Yikes, how true is that! I had no idea of the angst I caused (and still cause) until having my own kids!
  14. @zackids Thankfully yes...it's out early next month :-) But still v sad to see other series cut halfway through :-/ FL produce great books.
  15. @julialawrinson :-/ V sad because the lists were really building momentum. Poetry and picture book lists still stay, which is good news :-)
  16. Opportunity for artists with disability... wp.me/pv5NQ-CG
  17. Rubbish things: Have just learned that my publisher @Frances_Lincoln is having to axe their YA list, cancel contracts, disband teams...
