2 bookshops, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. Known for ranting, banging on about books and the odd humorous observation since 2010….

Best cold remedies so that I stop almost sneezing my eyeballs out and that I feel human enough to brilliantly interview Jojo Moyes tomorrow evening to a sell out audience?!….GO

Last night I had a dream that we had a sell out event with Ben Fogle but on the night another writer/mathematician also called Ben Fogle turned up….chaos ensued. I have a cold, I blame the Lemsip.

Today from 10am I am driving the till in our Abergavenny shop. Small but perfectly formed 55a Frogmore Street has, in my opinion, the BEST book smell in the world.

Fabulous morning with @mglnrd.bsky.social and @panmacmillan.bsky.social and 250 local school children learning about ancient Egypt, adventure writing and of course, beetles! The Hunt for the Golden Scarab is out now!

Just a thought…has anybody checked on the large hadron collider recently?

February events are starting strong!

Just me driving the till in Crickhowell today, anybody thinking of a run out, a book purchase and a coffee?!

It’s the first day of my birthday month! AND it’s no longer January, who fancies buying a book, your future self will thank you! (We need to sell approx 1400 books in Feb just to keep the lights on in the place!)

If you are able, please do support Indy bookshops.

The near monopoly of an online giant is skewering the industry.

Without Indies, we simply wouldn't be here.

Mixed bag of a day lots of positives, exciting event opportunities that made me do a few little excitement dances, lovely lunch with Mr Bookish followed by an email from my accountant with a tax bill (blergh)

If you missed out the firs time around, I've managed to secure a few more SIGNED copies of the hotly anticipated behind the scenes story of 'Gavin & Stacey'

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!
