26th May - Purple The first result on the publisher's list is Ottoline and the Purple Cat. Who am I to argue? "Ottoline and Mr Munroe are confronted with a purple fox proposing to lead them on an after-hours urban safari. This results in the pair looking for an anonymous and demonstrably broken-hearted poet leaving work stickered on lampposts, with their intention being to solve the poet's problems." @chris_riddell @macmillankidsbooks #queenofmay #queenofmay19 #bookishchallenge #maybookstagram19 #bookstagramchallenge #photochallenge #monthlychallenge #bookchallenge #bookstagram #booklove #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #maychallenge #lovereadinglovebooks #sendmybook #loveyourlocalbookshop #booksaremybag #nickelbooks #bookshopheroes @queen_of_books_and_sleep @sittingbournelife @booksaremybag @meryl.halls @book_tokens (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByI5pkxgsIE/?igshid=1mfv2rbgogjux

This beautiful guidebook to the secrets of Hogwarts comes with four foldout pages containing portions of the Marauder's Map, and an invisible ink wand pen and light. The light reveals invisible ink secrets on the foldout pages, while the pen allows readers to create their own magical map at the back of the book. £9.99 if you'd like one... #jkrowling @scholasticinc #harrypotter #maps #maraudersmap #queenofmay #queenofmay19 #bookishchallenge #maybookstagram19 #bookstagramchallenge #photochallenge #monthlychallenge #bookchallenge #bookstaram #booklove #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #maychallenge #lovereadinglovebooks #sendmybook #loveyourlocalbookshop #booksaremybag #nickelbooks #bookshopheroes @queen_of_books_and_sleep @sittingbournelife @booksaremybag @meryl.halls @book_tokens (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAuJK-AuN-/?igshid=8hzy9lwtnzut

22nd May - Fantastical Creatures I love a good dystopian novel, and this is looking good so far (I'm a couple of chapters in!) Phoenix was created in a lab, an accelerated person, for scientific experiments, it appears. So she's my #fantasticalcreatures for today. @nnediokorafor #thebookofphoenix @hodderbooks #hodderkids #queenofmay #queenofmay19 #bookishchallenge #maybookstagram19 #bookstagramchallenge #photochallenge #monthlychallenge #bookchallenge #bookstaram #booklove #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #maychallenge #lovereadinglovebooks #sendmybook #loveyourlocalbookshop #booksaremybag #nickelbooks #bookshopheroes @queen_of_books_and_sleep @sittingbournelife @booksaremybag @meryl.halls @book_tokens (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2wmkvglcF/?igshid=1xj2gmh3u3z1u
