When the going gets tough, go to the bookshop ❤️

It’s mad that Jane Austen was born 250 years ago and we still haven’t had enough

Business idea: a bookswap bookstore, like a book swap, but a whole store. You must have a book to enter and you can swap it for any book on the shelves of similar value or pay the difference. A store opens full of new books, but after a while it will be full of used books with stories of their own.

Get lost, in this world or another

I don't often feel the Christmas spirit. Only when watching the Muppets Christmas carol do I ever feel that warm childish wander. So this year decided to read the original. Lacking in catchy show tunes, but so far very spooky.

Books are
✅ Easy to wrap
✅ Cheaper than a *insert gadget of 2024*
✅ A chance for you to really share some love
✅ Sexy

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Storm Darrah leaving it's Mark... Looks like that's not going to be a bon marché (cheap) fix

I'm not sure if there is a heaven or not, but a five storey branch of Waterstones is pretty damn close

I look out the window at storm Burt, who has decided to manifest as lashing rain on my house. A degree or two lower and I would have been snowed in. Don't suppose my boss would take "don't fancy getting wet" as an excuse not to show up.

Take care of yourself people. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

i really like stories that pretend to be one genre for a bit but build up to revealing that they're actually something else entirely

9am on a Thursday hitting all kinds of inspiration buttons, dickensian? Bronte? Hardy? Its giving them all

Well 📍Wimborne didn't need to go so hard this morning. Autumn and winter teaming up on this view

Hope that reading about the fiery rings of hell will warm up my cold cold bones. If not the hot chocolate will have to do
