A reminder that on the Big Bearded Bookseller blog there is an author interview series that is at 116 interviews on it.

I'm always interested in more authors joining in, why not have a look at the questions and see if you're interested?

A woman living in Liverpool has had Buttons turn up on her doorstep.
She's had the chip checked & it says that the cat is called Buttons. It also says that it lives on The Isle of Man.
She's tried calling the phone number that's registered but nobody's answering.

Just bought a handmade pottery garlic rasp and three lino prints for Xmas

If you have a small artisan business, selling jewelry, pottery, gifts, prints, knitwear why not let everyone know about it, add your shop site and lets get a chain of supporting small businesses going

Hey.

This is a late night soft launch

I'm starting a thing called the "Big Green Books 500 Club".

It's a thing where, with your help, we can regularly get £500 of books into schools who need them.

It costs just £1 a week.

Here's the plan.

Can you guys share this. I want to gift an army a ticket to day one in Tampa. #BTS
I should be feeling excited getting ready for Tampa to see Jin, back on the stage where he belongs.
The last time I saw him, he was in a cast.
This time, he’d be whole.
I couldn’t wait to give out the hundreds of tiny gifts I made for strangers who already feel like home. For ARMY.
