I still can't use Facebook or Messenger on my phone after yesterday's outage. You may be relieved to learn that you may hear less from me for a while.

I miss the customers but I also miss the shop. It is nice to see that it is being cared for.

Two very good novels . Both have engrossing plots. The first is an exposé of people trafficking and the s*x slave industry. The second is dark psychological family drama. It doesn’t matter which one you read first. Just make sure you read them both.

With so many happy memories of bookish events at the late and lovely Barton's Bookshop, I'm looking forward to returning to this Saturday 7th September. I'll be at new indie bookshop from midday. I'll have stocks of and for signing. Do pop in to say 'hi' and enjoy the excellent book collection Carrie and Tom have curated.
