☀️ Book Week costume alert!! ☀️ If still in need of some quick and easy outfits for Book Week, check out Gemma's round-up of ideas! It includes this cute WALKING YOUR HUMAN-inspired ensemble (though if a dog's with this human, you'll know the keys and phone won't last for long - see book for why!). Happy Book Week, and International Dog Day too! 🐾

Here’s another lot of low-key, last-minute Book Week dress-up ideas from things around the house and a little bit of crafting. No need for setting up the sewing machine or gluing your fingers together!

LIT IN LOCKDOWN ⚡💘🌼🌈 The best bits of lockdown life have to be bookish (ok, and snackish), so here's a peek at my current stack. New release picture books from writing friends, review books for the pod, escapist adult reads ... it's like a mixed bag of lollies when you can't possibly stick to one type.

💧 ARE YOU THERE, BUDDHA? by @piphaz is a middle grade verse novel in the contemporary vein and I absolutely fell hard for it. Predicting book of the year type awards aplenty.

💮 THE BALLAD OF MELODIE ROSE by @direleafehall is my next read for review, and I'm looking forward to returning to the moody, gothic world of Direleafe Hall after loving THE HEARTSONG OF WONDER QUINN.

💕 LOVING LIZZIE MARCH by @susannah.hardy is my current adult read and it's the perfect antidote to, well, *everything* right now. Think a smart and hilarious rom-com featuring a lovable protagonist who's a bit delusional in all things relationship. I can see why it's being compared to Bridget Jones, I keep laughing aloud all the time. It's so good! And excited for debut author Susannah who I happen to know from my local and school communities, hooray!

👁️ YOU NEED TO KNOW by Nicola Moriarty is coming up soon on the TBR, and I can't wait for a mega dose of page-turning suspense. Have heard great things.

🐠 WHO FED ZED? is a new picture book by pal @ameliamcinerneyauthor and illustrated by @adamlnickel ~ a clever mono-rhyme about friends, a fish and reading the fine print on food labels! The cover and illustrations are super fun and retro, the perfect picture book package.

🦁 THE LION WHO CAME TO STAY is by another friend @victoriamackinlay with illustrations by @ronojoyghosh ~ amazingly, based on a true story of Victoria's grandfather receiving the gift of a lion cub from a Maharajah. It's beautifully written and suitably poignant. A truth is stranger than fiction tale!

I hope everyone in lockdown is doing okay, and finding/doing/eating/buying/creating/reading/watching something happy-making. Books aside, things I'm looking forward to this weekend include Thai food and season 2 of Never Have I Ever. You? Xx
