We got some delightfully spooky 👻 #BookPost during October, courtesy of @nosycrow.bsky.social! The picture books are absolutely charming (and not TOO scary!), and we're so pleased to be back with Mallory and Maggoty's hijinks 💀

We love fantasy books, and it doesn't get more EPIC than ones based on #NorseMythology!
'My Cat is Called Odin' is the first in a new series by Francesco Bedini and Stefano Tambellini, translated from the original Italian by Sara Copeland Benjamin (pub. @fivequillsforkids.bsky.social).

It's a perfect story for the day, and we even get a hilarious (or terrible, depending on your sense of humour!) joke on the inside 😂
We truly appreciate it, and we just know the kids that receive it in their bookbox will too! 😍👻🎪

Underlings: The Spark Engine is a fantastic dystopian debut from Murray Fisher (who sent us a copy, with this poster and bookmark!), published by new independent publisher Toller Press. With an imaginative world, relatable characters, and an important message, we cannot speak highly enough of it!
