Then there was the Cum Laude awards ceremony where I *might* have cried in front of the entire Upper School when they surprised me by dedicating this year's year book to me.
🎖️You did it! 🤩
Warmest congratulations to the students who finished the academic year by earning honors for academic excellence. ✨
Well-deserved success!

As a regular Glasgow to London commuter I'm not sure I should be watching #Nightsleeper so far my biggest worry is why the train is leaving from platform 10 when everyone knows the London trains ALWAYS leave from 1 so where are they actually going???

The irony of this when @CreativeScots have not provided any funding for this year's #ayewrite @AyeWrite festival.

@TheLastLeg #isitok that on #InternationalWomensDay we've finally reached equality when male politicians' bodies are being critiqued the way women's have for years? 🤔

@SW_Help currently coming from Glasgow with an end destination of Sunningdale. All Reading from Waterloo services seem to be cancelled except the 20.50 to Bracknell. Is this accurate? Or are there alternatives to get me to another station near Sunningdale? I.e. where is blocked?

Well deserved @CaraHunterBooks !! I devoured this book a few weeks ago. Innovative and compelling (even though I did miss Adam in this one😜)

Gutted I wasn't at "home" in Ascot to come to this event but I'm "home" in Scotland. The dangers of living between two locations means you often miss great events 😭
Thanks so much to @SteveCavanagh_ for a fun night, many interesting questions answered and a crowd very excited to read the new book.
We have signed stock in store now, so pop in to grab a copy while you can.

Finished audiobook today while driving to a friend's house. Not lying when I said "No. Way. Just... No. Way." Out loud. I then rushed into her house raving about it to her dad (who I have also made into a massive fan 🤣🤣). Bloody brilliant.

Headline did such an amazing job promoting Kill For Me Kill For You this weekend at Harrogate. A more enthusiastic team you couldn’t meet! Love these guys! @headlinepg @joe_thomas25 @SteveCavanagh_
BEST thing yesterday - meeting @SteveCavanagh_ and @mearns_tracy at #TheakstonCrime @HarrogateFest Gutted to miss todays events but off to #ALittleLife I go 😁
Just home from #TheakstonCrime @HarrogateFest with my #HarrogateHaul & pleased to say I fared well in my first foray!
@Waterstones should set up a direct debit from my salary at this rate though 😱 I met so many of my favourite authors and didn't feel brave to ask for pics

But @mearns_tracy should have pictures of when I met her and @SteveCavanagh_ Honestly I had to chill a bit in my adoration and "number1 fan" proclamations. I shove books from my fave authors into so many eager hands because I have THE best job (and lots of friends and family🤣)

This panel really made me think!! In my job as a school librarian I am constantly fighting against adults telling kids what they "should" be reading and what the "right" books are. I shout loud and proud about my crime obsession. Stop book snobbery! #TheakstonCrime @HarrogateFest

This was outstanding chat. Did you know @valmcdermid was the first female student who attended Oxford from a Scottish State School? Wee fact I'm surprised I didn't already know #TheakstonsCrime @HarrogateFest
