Rounding of our week of love is Lola! After a recommendation from last term’s reading group organised by @annapurkiss and @victoriamullins1 she decided to curl up with @lawrencepatrice’s Orangeboy. She’s sad she missed the original group discussion because she loved the book so much but she says she’ll check out what’s coming for the rest of this term’s reading group. Make sure you join us! 📸 and friend credit @_lisacam #orangeboy #patricelawrence #readinggoals #yalit #valentinesweek #booksandpets #childresliterature #sausagedog #dachshund #dogsofinstagram #crclc #universityofcambridge

Shine bright like a diamond 💎 from a meta cat to one who is intertextual as well! Mogget likes to read about himself, for himself! This bright shiner is here to wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day and also to remind you to get reading! 📸 and owner credit Jen Aggleton #garthnix #abhorsenchronicles #sabriel #yalit #childresliterature #crclc #readinggoals #valentinesweek #booksandpets #brightshiner #catsofinstagram #whitecat

For the love of Research. Jane is an incredibly meta cat reading about posthumanism and we applaud her! You might say she’s meta-cat-ical! 📸 and owner credit @lindsayb_reads who wouldn’t be able to do her PhD research without Jane’s assistance. #booksandpets #catsofinstagram #posthumanism #meta #metacatical #childrensliterature #yalit #crclc #universityofcambridge #research

All you need is love... and a supportive pup to help you work on your writing. Gorgeous Oscar is here to lend a helping paw while one of our PhD students researches Arthurian legends. 📸 and friend credit @_lisacam #readinggoals #booksandpets #valentinesweek #arthurianlegend #phdlife #childrensliterature #yalit #crclc #universityofcambridge #pupstagram #bookstagram

Love is in the air this week so we are celebrating, and what greater love is there than our pets sharing our love of books! Frankie decided to kickstart her week by going back to a favourite - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The best in the series she says! 📸 and owner credit @thekatyday #harrypotter #prisonerofazkaban #childresliterature #yalit #crclc #catsofinstagram #bookstagram #booksandpets #valentinesweek #readinggoals

We had a lot of fun exploring @homertoncollege Library’s @oliverjeffers picturebook collection in this week’s reading group! (And will certainly look to arrange another session like it in future!) Everyone shared their favourite spreads and we collectively marvelled over the signature style that Jeffers seems to imprint on all of his books. We discussed his use of different methods, striking colours, and humour with much enthusiasm and laughter (I think he may have inspired an art project or two!). Everyone seemed in much agreement that Jeffers is a masterful storyteller and I think we will all be waiting in eager anticipation for his future publications! Pictures are important! #readinggroup #picturebook #oliverjeffers #childrensliterature #crclc #universityofcambridge
