I was in the Orcadian bookshop in Kirkwall (my local) and the staff were so pleased with the number of kids who have been in with their #WorldBookDay vouchers and also picking up other books based on the #WBD collection. So many of the titles sold out 🙌🏻 This makes a happy Miss Pinner! #UKKidLit
A display in a bookshop with children's books laid out across it, focus is on LD Lapinski's Artezans: The Last Spellbreaker that came out this week.
@ldlapinski.bsky.social not only was Artezans The Last Spellbreaker spotted in the Orcadian bookshop today but as I went in there was a person at the counter buying it 🤩👏🏻 #UKKidLit

Absolutely brilliant piece here by @karenmccombie.bsky.social about the year of reading.
"we all agree that having to know about fronted adverbials is a killer to freely enjoying stories for their own sake."
