I’ve been following the success of Bookshop .org with interest for what they’ve been doing to champion independent bookshops both in the US and the UK. As a blind person who doesn’t read print, this line in the article linked below is exciting: ‘For the first time, Bookshop .org hopes that independent bookshops will soon be able to offer eBooks and audiobooks to their customers via the platform.’ via The Publishing Post

Happy Wednesday y'all...

As it's , what book would you love to read or would you go back and again?

Atop of my reading pile is this amazing book which @druid bought me for my birthday.

What do mean to you?
What do they conjure for you?

I have always loved and enjoyed books and couldn't imagine a world without books, , & charity shops.

They have been my , they have been my refuge, they have challenged & reassured me.

Edinburgh peeps, we have our annual stock-take coming up, so we will be closed on Sunday 3rd September, and will re-open at 2pm on Monday 4th. Apologies for the inconvenience (we'd rather be selling the books than counting them!)

Among the chums I got to catch up with at today's book event was adorable Tabitha the literary kitty! Her hooman is taking her back to the book fest this weekend. Of course I snapped a few pics of Her Most Resplendent Furry Majesty.
