Hmm … #ChooseBookshops

You Were There!

How many copies of EMBER SPARK can you fit in a Volkswagen?! Awesome day out in Northumbria today with shortlisted Bookseller Of The Year Heather from Forum Books + the bound + The Accidental Bookshop 💚 We visited Hexham Middle School School & Orvingham Middle School - both filled with kids who asked fabulous questions

The Bill Nighys are late this year, so it's good to see a few recent sightings.
Do your bit to help this amazing species:
– leave a cafe table & chair on the pavement
– if you have the budget, hang a bespoke navy suit outside your house
– keep your silk sock dispenser replenished
