A large batch of our new books arrived today and were rushed through cataloguing and covering so that they'd be ready for lunch time. Most of them are now out on loan! The enthusiasm and uptake for the Shadowing group this year looks to be outstanding, I'm so looking forward to working with this group :D
A couple of those from last year have asked why we're not using our official Shadowing page. We are still using is, and will be cross-posting reviews and videos across, but this blog enables us to do so much more. We can post more photos, more videos, link to the author sites and blogs that we're following. But more than that, we can do something important, the lack of which drove me* to distraction last year. We can USE PARAGRAPHS. Also, it seems that we can't actually get on the official site half the time.
So the books are out, the review cards are all set to go, and the sticker and bookmark pack arrived from CILIP (thank you, CILIP!) earlier today.
Though you've all been up here and collecting books already, please don't forget that our first official meeting is this Wednesday at 1.30pm. There will be biscuits.
Oh. Yes.
*Sure, I'm a pedant, but I used to teach English, so what were you expecting? Srsly?
