When I took this photo of Summer of No Regrets by @KateMallinder on the beach earlier this week, it was part of my #FireflySummerReading25 TBR. Now I've finished it & I can safely say I really enjoyed it! I followed in the girls' footsteps & took the plunge in the sea #NoRegrets!

.@KateMallinder is fascinated by what makes people tick & writing is her way of exploring that. Characters from her previous books had more to say, so she followed them on a roadtrip in Summer Under the Stars, next stop: #CampYA2025

This term Iβve been the Resident Author at @bwhStaffs - character workshops with Yrs 7&8, talking to Year 9 about being an author, a book club discussing Asking for a Friend and focused sessions on studentsβ own writing projects. The focus: the joy of reading and writing! π

Summer Under the Stars came out three weeks ago. If youβve read and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review (on Amazon, Waterstones, Goodreads)
Lots of people have let me know they loved it, but my fave is the Year 9 lad who told me it was βsurprisingly goodβ π
