What a fantastic day. Oh my, what a shortlist that what to choose between. Looking forward to the big announcement. #UKLA25
Glasgow Boys is just utterly brilliant. Not sure I've been so invested in two characters in a long time. I wanted to both know and look after Banjo and Finlay so much! You have to read this if you haven't already, beautifu, hadsh, tender.. #UKLA25 #readerteacher #readingforpleasure #ks3books
Front cover of the book Home Body
This is a wonderful book about finding yourself within while the world seems to fight against you. Empowering and heartwarming but clear for all to access. Many would benefit from reading this... #readingforpleasure #UKLA25 #transrightsarehumanrights🏳️⚧️
Front cover of The Boy Next Door book
Just finished The Boy Next Door. I was totally absorbed in it after an initial wrong quick judgement. There are so many important themes addressed and covered sensitively in this book. I know for certain I'll encourage my own daughters to read when they're a bit older #UKLA25 #readingforpleasure
Front cover of the book Slug Life
This went down an absolute storm at home. Looking forward to gauging reaction from the children at school. A lot of fun, and also very educational! #sluglife #UKLA25
Book cover for King of Nothing
Chilled morning, finishing The King of Nothing. It's completely brilliant. How can a book be so funny, poignant, and moving at the same time?! Such a character-rich book. What a talent Nathanael Lessore is.#shoulderwiggle #UKLA25 #readingforpleasure #readerteacher #kingofnothing
To say I'm a little blown away by this one is an understatement. Absolutely essential reading. If My Words Had Wings by Danielle Jawando #UKLA25
I just finished Keedie by Elle McNicoll for #UKLA25. What a brilliant, strong character Keedie is! So glad to have read this book. I want to go back and reread A Kind of Spark all over again now!
I have been reading The Things We Leave Behind by Clare Furniss for the #UKLA25 11-14+ shortlist. I can't believe how compelling and frighteningly relevant this book is. Stunning.
We're so THRILLED to announce that LISTENING TO THE QUIET has been chosen as a shortlistee for the
@uklitassociation.bsky.social awards!
Our fingers and toes are crossed! 🤞 #UKLA25 #teachersbookawards

Reflecting on a brilliant afternoon shortlisting for #UKLA25. So interesting to listen to different takes and perspectives on books from the longlist and quite a number that I intend to read again based on that! Wholeheartedly recommend taking part for next year's prize should anyone be eager.
My next read is for the #UKLA25 Book Awards. I've been saving this one up as a half term treat. Puppet, by David Almond.
We are so excited to announce the second Keynote Speaker of our International Conference 2025...
