Thank you @TheToyPress for your word of the week this week and 2 weeks ago. Feathers and Late Fashionably, Stylishly Late By D. Eric Herrington Ducks in Dior Geese in couture Peacocks in Lacroix Nature's not worried about being late In my estimation Birds take ample time…

By way of promotion here is some lovely praise for Motherbunnet courtesy of @CaroleBromley1 and @josiedefalco It's been a big week for us here, 6 learned to swim and is about to lose her first tooth, sooo that means deal time. Snap up a copy for £7 inc postage. DMs open.

For #worldbrainday, I’ll be donating £1.50 per copy of ‘Why did my brain make me say it?’ to @BrainTumourCSO (today until July 31st) So now’s a great time to get a Wales Book of the Year shortlisted children’s poetry collection and donate to a great cause. (£10.00 inc p&p, DM me)

The perfect book for any occasion but especially apt today

Diolch yn fawr @WaterstonesCDF! The first time I’ve actually seen Brain in real life in one of your branches! 😍 It’s now a signed copy as your lovely bookseller suggested. #childrenspoetry #kidlit

I've got not one one iota of shame, either. Buy a book! 😂 Hahaha The laziest most honest self promo you'll see this week, I assure you!

Exactly! Where and who are the readers and buyers of poetry collections? Is it just other poets? It’s an eternal question.
