I've heard that coronavirus is going to cause a massive shortage of books, which will be essential when we're all stuck at home, so it's very important for everyone to rush out and start panic-buying novels. Thank you.

This was actually super easy and lots of fun and only took them 35-40 minutes. A nice way to spend a Friday afternoon when you are timetabled into a creative learning space.

As I told students, reading is the gift that keeps on giving. What I didn’t tell them, was that I seem to be giving a lot to myself this holiday season. 🤫 @tomgauld knows what’s up. #TisTheSeasonToBeReading
