Just dropped off some copies of The Dog & The Cat, The Flower Maiden and my Clowntober Art Zine at The Common Press! It's a great intersectional bookshop in Shoreditch, would highly recommend

Barnes and Noble on the rebound? Is that a good thing? I'm not sure. Are we back to crowding out local bookstores?

Also, I wonder how much of B&Ns recent success is simply due to Amazon's negligence of their service quality-and-control. I.e., Amazon now seems incapable of shipping an unblemished book, thus driving more people to brick and mortar shops.

Today we had a delivery due,
Adaptive aids for Mum.
I had to stay in to wait for them,
So started the day with document wrangling.
Had a long work phone call,
And booked my first site visit.
Took Dad to visit Mum in hospital,
Had a chat with the neighbouring patient.
Did more admin,
Interspaced with some space clearing.
Did caretaking,
And also cleared some ivy growth.
Watched a bit of YouTube,
And finished another book.
Ordered more books,
From my local #IndieBookshop.
Time for bed,
#Night all.

Anybody looking to buy books to be delivered in Northern Ireland (or anywhere else I suppose!) from an independent bookshop - I can highly recommend Bridge Books in Dromore.

Or go in person, it's a jewel box of a shop. Small but crammed with wonderful books.

The owner, Lesley is lovely and very, very helpful.

"From the author of bestselling murder mystery Death & Croissants.
Richard is preparing for the Christmas of his dreams: quiet, no guests at his French B&B and his favourite films on the TV. None of which seems on the cards when Valerie d'Orcay hotfoots it from Paris with her chihuahua in tow and an invitation to a Christmas themed murder mystery game.....
It is a great fun romp and we love it !!!!"
