Independent Bookseller's Week

#indiebookweek @IndieBound_UK

It's soon to be Independent Bookseller's Week, where we all celebrate our local independent bookshop.

It's a real asset to have a bookshop in your town, as it is one of the places where everyone can go and look, browse, talk to the staff. We're particularly lucky in our town as the bookshop was saved by the local community and is now staffed by volunteers. It is somewhere you can go to see the latest books, get recommendations on what to read next and find out about the rest of the activities in your area. So let's give a big HOORAY! For local bookshops everywhere.

I'll be doing school visits to spread the word about our local bookshops and doing a signing this coming Saturday in The Torbay Bookshop, Paignton, Devon at 11am.

Hope to see you there!
