Nothing better than hearing from a happy customer! If you're interested in our subscription service then you can find out more here: mostly-books.co.uk/mostlybooks-...
North Woods. An absolutely brilliant book, which arrived via a subscription* with @mostly-books.bsky.social. It gave me Ulverton (one of the greatest novels ever written) vibes, but with more ghosts, and beetle-sex scenes. Definitely one I'll re-read.

*A Christmas present that just keeps going 😊

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
