Well who knew that English was only established as a degree course at Oxford in 1894 and Cambridge in 1919! This book about books is a must read for anyone who loves the written word.

I have read less books than usual in 2024, it would appear running a busy book group is quite time consuming! Lots of talking about them but not so much reading of them!

Want a warm-hearted book programme to listen to? The Be Somerset Books of the Year 2024 show is here www.besomerset.com/post/be-some... Including Rebecca Thorne, @traceygemmell.bsky.social @saraheastercollins.bsky.social, @huntingravenbooks.bsky.social @readwithyeovil.bsky.social & Claire Brooker

@nikkimaywriter.bsky.social You were, as always, fabulous and the mention of Read with Yeovil was fantastic. Thank you so much. Have the best day. X

Making a carrot cake this morning for a coffee morning raising funds for our ‘Great Yeovil Story Telling Day’ - even a recipe demands the ability to read. What if you are struggling to learn? That’s what our event is set to address. Watch this space!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead, who died #OTD 1978

Another day, another platform to explore - wonder where this adventure will take us. As a book group existing online as well as in person, the last couple of years have been amazing. Now it is off into Bluesky to see where it leads.
