Head of Publishing / Publishing Manager jobs.thebookseller.com/job/joffebooks… this opportunity from JOFFE BOOKS looks fantastic, and really flexible - so valuable. V exciting publisher and everyone I've met is passionate, knowledgeable and super kind, so I imagine it's a great place to work!

We're at the supermarket and I'm trying to convince my 3 year old that 84p for twelve own brand yogurts is better value than £1.20 for 6 Peppa Pig branded yogurts. Eventually we reached a compromise. Not sure who won, really.

Hurrah! Excited for Eva Wong Nava (Author) and her historical Singapore novel, #TheHouseOfLittleSisters 🇸🇬

Congratulations Cecile Pin - so thrilled to see #WanderingSouls on this list! It was a compulsive, beautiful read and I've been haunted by it ever since (in a good way!) #LondonWritersAward

Eva Wong Nava (Author) Tania Tay On hiatus—writing cave!

Congratulations Eva Wong Nava (Author) ! This looks like a brilliant book in every sense!

All solidarity to teachers! It's been a busy school strike day - 5 children (3 of mine plus a playdate), three cooked meals (with no stove/oven as we cracked the induction top on Monday), 0 screen time, two wet accidents, one time out... Feels like I woke up 100 hours ago 🧓

Excited for this folkloric fantasy story from M Ikemoto Ghosh !
