45. Loved this. Considering it for a Year 9 form time book for reading aloud. Anyone else used it at school - for year 9 or any purpose?

Fab to see a Museum on Wheels from The Wilson museum (Cheltenham) in my local library today.
Getting hands on history can inspire curiosity - it certainly did for my son who had lots of questions!

43. Brilliant spoken word poetry collection. Wish I’d heard a voice like this in my 20s. So relatable especially about women’s rights, safety and friendships.
