So, not every Monday feels magical 😐let's be honest, some of them are pretty crud really. BUT we can take one positive thing we've done that day and give ourselves a big pat on the back. If we all celebrate them here we can go about our day feeling as magical as a unicorn farting rainbows🌈✨

So here's mine.... I got the washing out before I left for the school run. Go me!

Have a good Monday everyone 💜 ###

This little book is filled with fascinating facts about rainforests and the creatures who live there. It also explains that if we don't start making a difference in our actions, then we're going to lose them.

This series covers a huge amount of topics, and they're brilliant for wee fact fans who enjoy learning more about their fave subjects.

I have two copies of the rainforests version. Available at half price. Get in touch with me if you'd like one of them 💚

My tiny besties went back to school this week. Two whole days of new experiences, new routines, new buses, new teachers, new clubs, and new clobber.

They are JIGGERED I tells ye! 🤣 Ready for a full week next week, but today, we chill 💙

How you spending your weekend? Nicola xx

I can recognise an Usborne book a mile off. Not just because of the rainbow coloured hot air balloon on every spine... the quality just stands out. I've been doing this a really long time now, and there aren't many of them I've not seen. So if you want to know more about a series, or a certain book you've spied, please just ask! I love talking about our books ❤️📚 Nicola xx

When you're starting high school, friends and relationships can all get a bit more complicated, right? Proud of Me focuses with the importance of openness, honesty and support from friends and family, and it is so well written! Leaves a beautiful message for children.

*Themes running throughout the book are belonging, growing up, LGBTQIA+ issues, family troubles, acceptance and how important friendship is between siblings and pals

If you'd like more info, please just let me know. It's available now in my shop

How small businesses survive and thrive on social media.... it's all thanks to YOU! 😘

Thank you so much for hanging about to listen to my nonsense, joining in with the chat, and, of course, purchasing your books from me and not that big place with the brown box smileys (yeah that one!). Hoping to be here for a long time yet, it's been with 15 years with Usborne already! 💜📚

Hands up if you're the person who got hundreds of business cards printed weeks before they changed they changed what the call us?

🙌🏻 Yep, that'd be me. We went from organisers to partners, most folk call me the book lady, but whatever you call it the job is the same. Enjoy the books, share the books, sell the books, grab the free books, talk about books, eat, sleep, repeat 💜📚😁

If you fancy a wee side hustle that's all about the books, have a chat with me about what's involved and how it works. I've been doing it long enough!

*Just maybe get someone else to decide what you print on yer business cards 😜

Oh, and if you know someone who'd love working with Usborne and getting freebies and deals, make sure they know about my page 👌🏻 there's a free book in it for you if they decide to go for it

Do you believe in fairies? 💜

It's Monday, and you've been hanging around here long enough now to know that means Magic Monday here at BooksbyNicola. This is a magic painting book that you maybe haven't seen yet, because it's been AGES since I last took some photos and showed it off. Gorgeous pages in this one, just waiting on you brushing the water on carefully to make the colours appear.

What else do you maybe not already know about these books? 🤔
🧚🏻‍♂️The pages are perforated, so they can be easily taken out either to share among several painters, or to display their work once it's finished
🌼 There's a cardboard flap that folds out to place under the page you're working on. This means there's absolutely no seepage and no upset at 'ruined' pages
✨ While all magic painting books are £6.99, I sell them at 2 for £11.50 here. And there are A LOT of options!

Have you tried these yet? Nicola xx

Sorry is such a little word, but it means a huge deal.

Having to say sorry is a bothersome business, and we don't want our children just to parrot it and not mean anything. What if they knew the difference it made? How about considering what would stop them having to get to the bot where they have to say sorry? There's a lot to discuss, and this book is a helpful way to think about it all.

Is this something you've been working on?
