Picked these two up from my local library #ReadingForPleasure the God of the Woods was enthusiastically recommended to me by the librarian! @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social And the @barringtonstoke.bsky.social was on the 'new additions' shelf so I had to have it! @stevecolewriter.bsky.social

Covers of two books: New You For Ever by Steve Cole features an illustrated girls face split into two by a beam of light with a shadowy figure running towards you, and The God of the Woods by Liz Moore featuring a areal view photo of an orange autumn woodland bordering an ominous darker body of water with a tiny figure standing on the bank.

This year I have been working with authors who write characters who have visual impairment. Shout out to Beth O'Brien and @lucyedwards.bsky.social I have really enjoyed Wolf Siren and the Ella Jones series! #InclusiveStoriesTour #ReadingForPleasure

The book cover of "Wolf Siren" by Beth O'Brien. The tag line says "inside every good girl is a wolf". Shows dark tree shapes in the background, in the foreground there are three huge black wolves with pointy faces and yellow eyes and in the middle there is a figure of a girl covered in a bright red cloak.

The book cover of "Ella Jones vs the Battle Noise" by Lucy Edwards. The Guardian quote says "a thrilling adventure". The cover is shiny and light blue and white. There is braille writing and a navilens code in the corner. The cover shows the main character, Ella, with red hair and a blue t-shirt; she is holding on to her guide dog's harness and dodging a bright lightning bolt shooting in the background.

Had to use the chat function to try and get British Gas to decrease my Direct Debit. The advisor was helpful, bless him poor man, he stayed on track -- while I continue to live in this dystopian nightmare. #wealthinequality #TaxtheRich

text message exchange that reads: Them: ...complaint. But in the meantime, let's see if we can work together to resolve this today. (12 minutes ago) Them: Sure! I can help you to reduce your Direct debit now can you please answer some questions. (10 minutes ago) Me: The service is not the problem. It's the capitalist system we are all forced to operate under and the excruciating wealth inequality that is crushing people like me.

text message exchange that reads: Them:...your account as a record of your dissatisfaction with the situation. Having thoroughly reviewed the matter and taken all necessary actions within my capabilities, I would like to if you would be satisfied with marking this complaint as resolved? (3 minutes ago) Me: have you ever read any Kafka [redacted]? (3 minutes ago) Them: So Shall I marked this as resolved?

text message exchange that reads: (4 minutes ago) Me: have you ever read any Kafka [redacted]? (4 minutes ago) Them: So Shall I marked this as resolved? (3 minutes ago) Me: sure (3 minutes ago)

"It's by no means obvious, to non-disabled people, which parts of living with a disability are challenging and which aren't. In fact, it's often the opposite of what people expect." -James Catchpole www.readingzone.com/authors/jame... Buy book here: www.faber.co.uk/product/9780...

Book cover of orange text "Owning it: our disabled childhoods in our own words". Edited by Jen Campbell, James and Lucy Catchpole, illustrated by Sophie Kamlish.

IBC Book Box is back and it's bigger and better! This is our UK-wide bookgifting scheme to provide access to free inclusive books for the children who need them most.

When 1 in 7 UK state primary schools have no library, and many more face budget constraints, book collections are often outdated and lack diverse and inclusive titles.

This year we have 60 boxes of 100 books to give away!

Apply by Friday 18 July 2025 at 23:59 (BST). Click below for full details.

I have just discovered this book and I am absolutely in love with the beautiful illustrations of Lulu by @ladyaxolotl.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️ #ReadingForPleasure

A book cover of 'Lulu is a Rhinoceros' showing a white bulldog with brown patches with her nose pressed to the mirror looking at her reflection showing a gray smiling rhino.

An illustration of Lulu the bulldog facing you with her tongue sticking out slightly and you can see three small teeth on her bottom jaw. Above her head are the words "Yes! I am Lulu."

We're busy making plans for the Accessible Book & Story Festival 2025! And we are really keen to hear ideas and suggestions from families, teachers and anyone who tells or would like to tell sensory stories. Please post a comment below or send an email to ailie@mykindofbook.org.uk
This year's Accessible Book & Story Festival will be a small but perfectly formed mini-fest in September- with the focus on sensory stories. Next year we will be back to the full-sized festival with an emphasis on tactile books and sensory stories.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for either festival please do get in touch.

"We have lost the dignity of our individuality. Our uniqueness has become a burden, an obstacle, or a regrettable distraction on the road to success." Rose, p. 57.

Just started this super readable book and I'm finding it very refreshing. A boy who isn't taken in by the flashiness of Xmas (and is also neurodivergent) and a new dog friend called Susan. Would recommend!

"Being the best test-taker in the world isn't much help for discovering either new truths about the world or new ways of thriving in it." p.190, The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik; reading this book on the recommendation of @drnaomifisher.bsky.social Very interesting and insightful!
