I'm trying to get an idea of how many people are running comics clubs for young people in schools/libraries/community spaces. How many of you do, and do you know others? Richard Ruddick Lucy Starbuck Braidley Lucas Maxwell Rhiannon C Irina ✨🌙💫 The Witch-Hare is out now! Jess Bradley Neill Cameron

Lucas Maxwell The Bookseller A hundred per cent agree - books need to be shorter

Most of my readers check the spine width of unfamiliar books, even before they read the title or the blurb

Illustrated / comic-book formats & slim-spined humour, romance, murder mystery or horror stories are where it's at rn

Happy to have contributed to this piece in The Bookseller on the need for shorter, more accessible #books for kids.

Lucas Maxwell Yes!! This is such a sweet part of D&D!

#dungeonsanddragons in the #library today!
One thing I’ve noticed is the large group of students who just want to watch, they don’t want join in when asked. They just want to be around the table. It’s a really nice atmosphere.

Thank you Guppy Books!! Rachael King

Lucas Maxwell Farshore Ah, a Killick quiz!! I wish I could come and join in!!
