We shared Cillian Murphy's 10 favourite books last week. It only seems fair that we share Barbie's favourite books this week.

'Twas the night before World Book Day,
And all across the land,
Children were dreaming,
Of a new book in their hand…
A big shout out to all of the grown ups who are spending #WorldBookDay eve preparing to make tomorrow a magical booky day. 🥰

The very first book I cried while reading was Watership Down.
I am a glutton for punishment as I followed that up by reading Plague Dogs!

Have you ever read a book that made you cry?
I’ve listened to songs that have made me cry. I’ve watched movies that have made me cry. But I’ve NEVER once read a book that made me cry.
Name a book in the comments that brought you to tears.

Okay, brain trust, I need your help! I got my mum this jigsaw for Xmas & the combined brain power of my entire family has stalled trying to guess all the clues. See the following tweets if you can help (National Book Tokens Hidden Books challenge aficionados particularly welcome)

In need of last minute gift ideas for Valentine's Day. Why not take your love out for coffee and cake and buy them a book all in one place.
