Have you read #TheUglyTruth by Lauren North? We’ll be chatting about it in #TheBookload on Facebook from 8.30-9.30 this evenings, and Lauren will be joining us!

10yo asked why Baby Reindeer wasn’t suitable for him and we weren’t sure what to say so we told him it’s about a baby reindeer that swears.

Follow me for excellent parenting advice.

There’s something to be said for owning your bad reviews.

I just had my third proof of a book that’s coming out in July. Someone really wants me to read it.

10yo and I are conducting a brownie ranking investigation. Today we tried Kate Jenkins and he's ranked them number 3 and I think they might just be number 2. Trouble is, we keep having to retry different ones to remind ourselves. It's a tough job but we take it very seriously.

I just ate a honeycomb Yorkie that I bought at a random service station and oh my god. Does anyone know where I can buy more?

Don’t miss our #readalong discussion of #TheUglyTruth by Lauren North.

It’s Monday 6 May at 8.30pm in #TheBookload on Facebook.

The author should be joining us and we hope you can too!
