The countdown is on... with just over a week to go until the release of the the final chapter of the Heartstopper graphic novel series by Alice Oseman, which inspired the acclaimed Netflix show! 📚🎬

Volume 6 is released on Thursday 2nd July 🥳

If you would like to pre-order a copy just let me know 😀

I am also stocked up on all the Alice Oseman novels, if you fancy giving them a go as a change from the graphic novel.

On Saturday I went to a Spanish themed party 🇪🇸

So I thought I'd make the effort and make some tapas ..with a little inspiration from this book ...

Today I learned that the author of the set text I studied in high school English in the 90s, is originally from Stonehaven and went to Mackie Academy!

She also wrote for Dr Who!

Thanks Alistair Lawrie
