Some quality wandering in Carlisle again for today’s post, mostly in Bookends and Bookcase. I’ve been up a couple of times since Christmas so this is a bit of a compendium of visits.And yes, I did buy stuff. Of course I did. Every time.

Firstly please note they’re advertising a book festival up this way next month.

Words by the Water has an interesting looking line up and Bookends is the official bookshop. If you’re anywhere near by, the website is here if you want to take a look.

And they’ve got a nice table of books featuring the authors inside now which is a change since January:

But then of course you want to swap out the Christmas stuff by now, and take a chance to do something a bit different because you can put Colleen Hoover, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Richard Osman and Emily Henry out at any time! And given that I think all of them have new books out this year, you probably will be!

There’s also some nice looking new releases as well. After seeing the same things on the new books shelves for ages, we’re starting to get a bit of variety. And I approve of that. Onwards towards March releases.
