This is brilliant. I also think it needs to be said more often. It's a lot managing events on top of running a retail business.

Another quiet morning. But on the plus side, I've just ordered a book I'm very excited about! (Absolutely not for me, and definitely for the bookshop...)

My Under Milk Wood exhibition starts on the 18th May, Llantarnam Grange

The Kickstarter campaign to publish an illustrated book starts on 3rd May kickstarter.com/projects/thesh…

This morning has been really quiet. I can manage with the odd quiet day, but if you're thinking of buying a book now would be a really good time.

Like pirates? Know a child who likes pirates?
I'm now stocking this new children's book by local author Dave Whittle, along with an accompanying songbook.

Happy #TerryPratchettDay ! Pratchett was one of the authors who made me want to be a writer. Here's my very old, much-loved copy of Maskerade, the first Discworld book I read ❤

This sounds lovely!

Following the coffee incident, it seems that all the vowels on my keyboard have stopped working.

People are asking if the books are ok. Obviously, I threw the books across the room in order to save the coffee. (Joking. They're fine).

I've just spilt coffee absolutely everywhere, in a sort of cinematic slow motion flood. How's your day going?
