So much exciting new stuff launched at #canvacreate , even Gambit was impressed! Now to find time to play, it’s such a pain when work gets in the way of learning, huh?! I’m ridiculously chuffed at being able to print direct rather than downloading 1st 😂😊 #Canva
On #worldartday it seems a good time to share the picture books that I talked about on my last Lit Link Up webinar 😊 All are fab, if you want to see what I said about them the recording is here: www.bevhumphrey.com/lit-link-up.... #goallin
My next free children's & young adult book update webinar , Lit Link Up, is on the 27th March at 7p.m. ,as always I have 2 great packs of books to give away to attendees on the night, 1 primary & 1 secondary . Do come along and enjoy the book blether! www.bevhumphrey.com/lit-link-up....
This weekend's reading: Loved no.1 in the Cafe Chaos series & The Way the Cookie Crumbles is just as funny & warm as the 1st . Heartbreak Era is a warm & fuzzy romance , with no spice , so would be great for year 7 & up, I really enjoyed it @nosycrow.bsky.social @scholasticuk.bsky.social
Today’s #bookpost came with a tin of beans (much appreciated!) which is unusual lol. I greatly enjoyed the 1st book in this series & I’m looking forward to reading this one whilst enjoying my snack 😂🤣🤣 @nosycrow.bsky.social
Happy #bookbirthday to this excellent factual book , although aimed at young people I can think of many adults who would benefit from reading it! Easy to dip in & out of with interactive questions & interesting facts throughout #Usborne

Here are all the wonderful #picturebooks I shared in last week's Lit Link Up , all of them are absolutely fabulous!
Ooh happy to share - my top three are The Boy I Love, Traumaland & Handle With Care and choosing just one would be like choosing a favourite child 😂😂😂
What a strong #Carnegies2026 longlist, there are three I just couldn't choose between but others are brilliant too 😊😊 #bookawards
Today’s #bookpost is amazing! Thank you @farshorebooks.bsky.social @rocktheboatnews.bsky.social now I need to get some work done & resist reading them!
This bright, fun #picturebook is a great way to introduce children to #lunarnewyear traditions around the world & has a warm family message too. I really liked the recipe for peanut cookies & the dragon craft activity in the back of the book as well @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

My granddaughter & I just love Frank & Bert & I know this story will definitely make her giggle! Excellent message of facing your fears & the last line made me lol 'we're going to need a bigger boat' (There are no sharks in this book - only frogs!) @nosycrow.bsky.social #picturebook
Such a strong longlist, I have my favourites but I'd never tell because they are all such great books! Bravo to all of these wonderful authors . #bookaward #kidlit #childrensbooks #yabooks

I absolutely loved this mg dystopian fantasy, would be a perfect one to promote around #empathyday Touching, promotes understanding & friendship, I’ll be looking out for more from this debut author @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social
Such a joyous, fun, counting story! I can imagine little ones wanting to make the sounds of all the instruments whilst counting along with the rhyming text. Bright , amusing illustrations too.
