It's a basic apology for wanting to inconvenience people with your brief happiness. Exactly as it should be! (Happy Birthday!)

No I don't think so!! Sadly! Nowhere seems to have a useful equivalent, especially for groups...

It feels so peaceful and quiet here. I love Twitter and I keep hoping it'll pull itself together, but lost half my followers, so think people are leaving in droves...

Welcome!! And don't worry, I don't think it's really started yet!??!!!

oh wow! been a while... what a tune!

ah, thank you! Heard only good things about @allgoodbookshop.bsky.social 🙌🏼

It's hard to find any YA at all without romance!

Ravena Guron's This Book Kills is a good follow on from Robin Stevens...plus i guess thats why McManus/ Holly Jackson etc are popular? Maybe not cosy enough though!

Also, this is the same girl who'd read the Eragon series 5 times by the age of of 11, last year there weren't enough words in the world!

I blame school. The step up in homework etc at the start of secondary is huge. There's very little other than manga that feels age appropriate, but is short and easy. Barrington Stoke are so great for that, but not mainstream enough maybe?
