It’s the end of Independent Bookshop Week today, and given how much I love a bookshop, it would be remiss of me not to mention it, and also to drop some links to my posts about Indies I’ve been to, and also some of the ones that are on my list for a visit!
Near me we have Quinns in Market Harborough, as well as The Reading Tree at Weedon Depot. I also need to make an effort and get to Kibworth Books and Warwick Books.
In my regular visiting spots we have Bookends/Bookcase in Carlisle and then the various Daunts in London near where I work and stay – Marylebone and Cheapside. There are also still a few second hand bookshops on Charing Cross Road, but a lot less than there used to be. London has now got a romance specialist bookshop, Saucy Books, which is over in Notting Hill so I’m going to have to head over there soon.
And of course if you’re in the South West, you need to be going to Persephone.
If you’ve got some more book shop recommendations, whack them in the comments.
Happy Saturday everyone!
Kibworth Books is the next one up on my list of local bookshops to visit. We must live quite close to each other😃
I suspect we must too. What a coincidence!
