Did I or did I not promise that my book stones were adopted and going to be displayed somewhere awesome?
Here they are, proud of place in the wonderful @darlingreadsbooks
2026 is the National Year of Reading, a UK-wide campaign encouraging more people to make reading a regular part of their lives.
This is what I am hoping the book stones will do by bringing and extra bit of magic to your visit to the shop. I hope it encourages you to pick up the book that inspired me to make the stones, starts conversations, inspires questions, and raises smiles!
If you are local or visiting, please do pop in to see the stones, pose with them, and treat yourSHELF to a beautiful new book or two!
Huge thanks to @darlingreadsbooks for giving the book stones such a lovely new home - please give them a follow!
Keep your eyes peeled on where the rest of the stones end up 👀🍌.
Love and kindness,
J.M.

Hello!
After a two-week break and a Crabbit Chops! book event, I have finished my latest batch of book stones for some awesome book covers for the community.
I am lucky to have made friends in the writing community with so many talented people who have granted me permission to paint their book covers onto three-inch stones (or less).
Scroll along to see my creations.
Again, I am not an artist or trying to be one…it’s all for fun!
2026 is the National Year of Reading which is a UK-wide campaign designed to inspire more people to make reading a regular part of their lives, and I hope my fun book stones bring smiles and questions that lead to picking up the book related to the stones.
I love supporting fellow creatives and have tagged the authors and illustrators so you can follow them if you wish; the links to buy their wonderful books are in their bios.
The stones have already been snapped up to be displayed in a fabulous location! More information to follow…👀
If you would like your book to be added to a future batch, please drop me a message or comment on this post.
Love and kindness,
J.M.

Duck-billed platypus gets a bonk on the head and clearly it means the end of the world. No one will listen to her when she tells everyone to hide!
The completely true-ish story of what happened to the dinosaurs when they decide not to listen....
Fast pased and full of fun. Illustrated fully in vibrant colour throughout.

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay. Seated tyrannosaurus by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros from Hide!, a picturebook by Em Lynas that speculates about what might have happened to the dinosaurs. Drawn and digital, conveying drama, comedy and character in a simplified style. Hodder 18 June. @hachettekids @chris.naylor.ballesteros @emlynas

It's going to end badly if they don't HIDE!

I'm so excited to have The Bear and the Hare and the Fair included in this year's Scottish Book Trust Bookbug Bag which will go out to all of the 3 yr olds in Scotland soon. Not only that, but if you look closely at the video you'll see that there is a Gaelic version!

Annabelle and Flower
A warm, funny picture book about the circle of life - with bright neon colours throughout! When a lonely cow called Annabelle finds a tiny flower one spring day, it brings a dance to her step and a smile to her moo. Over time, the flower grows, blooms and changes colour, until one day autumn comes and blows all the petals away. Poor Annabelle is alone again, until spring returns and she finds a new flower . . . and another . . . and another!

Thank you so much! Every time a book is borrowed an angel gets its wings! I think that's right 🤔
