For a long time, I've had an ambition to see one of my books on display in a big London bookshop.
My publisher just sent me this: The Hometown Bookshop in Hatchards Piccadilly! I'm over the moon and very grateful.

This is exciting! Today's (sort of) Book of the Day is Issue 1 of Transporter Magazine, a journal dedicated to new writing from Teesside. I have a short piece of fiction in it called 'The Dancer'. Call into Book Corner for your free copy!

Today's Book of the Day is GREENTEETH by Molly O'Neill. This cosy fantasy adventure is steeped in British folklore and myth, and I really enjoyed encountering the various mythical creatures, including the titular Jenny Greenteeth.

Today's Book of the Day is MONSTERLAND by Nicholas Jubber. The author travels to various parts of the world, searching for the origins of famous monsters (Godzilla in Japan, Selkies in Scotland etc). He uncovers the often dark histories behind these tales. Highly recommended!

Book of the Day 2 is THE ISLAND OF MISSING TREES by Elif Shafak. This beautiful, moving novel is partly narrated from the POV of a fig tree. It's a touching love story which deals with difficult subjects, including war, with great sensitivity.

I'm going to start a completely unoriginal feature called Book of the Day, where I recommend a book each day I'm in the bookshop.
Book of the Day 1 is The Deorhord by Hana Videen. Like animals and Old English words? Then this is the book for you! Absolutely fascinating.
