Imagine our surprise when one of our customers shared a photo of our paper bag text ( written by Nigel Cox) blown up on a shop window in Chicago’s @citylit_books
One last book detective question for you all... Does a picture book that has the line "Captain Caster keeps going faster" ring any bells? Probably published about 30 years ago. Not Captain Najork, but definitely pirate adjacent
Book detectives! More mysteries afoot... Can anyone remember an 80's/90's picture book about a naughty/spoiled little girl (possibly named Caroline) with the refrain "sweet little (name), lovely little (name)..." Said "Caroline" is allowed to stay up late & eat luxurious cakes.
Book detectives, help us out! We have a lovely customer looking for a picture book, published between 95 & 03, with Shaun Tan Style/sepia illustrations, featuring a scene where a family drive to the beach & a mysterious island rises from the waves.... any clues appreciated!
We just got our copies of the stunningly beautiful bilingual board game Kaupapa! Limited copies on our website.

There is a lot of goodness in the new Headland but this by Chris Price really did crack my synapses “The best natural glitter has always been waterborne. Sea swimming does it every time, a little cannon goes off inside and I am bathed in sparkle”headland.org.nz/issues/issue…
Thanks for setting this up. Will be tuning in!
Next Tuesday (Aug 24) in a free online event, join @zarahbm in conversation with @hollen_666 on her fiction debut, Nostalgia Has Ruined My Life – 'a grimly funny rendering of the absurdity of life in the 2020s' (@BplusPNews_). Register here:

So since NZ Poetry Day is not a happening thing I’m thinking it might be a good time to bring back Twitter Poetry Night. What reckon @ashleigh_young @HeraLindsayBird ?
