Throwback to December 2019 when I visited every single bookshop in Stockholm. Each of them had a pile of these postcards. Couldn't we do something like this for Bristol? @StorysmithBooks @maxminervas @bloom_and_curll @ArnolfiniArts @StanfordsBrist #PlayfulToyshop
📚 If, like me, reading novels brings you joy & helps you through tough times, here’s my Xmas round-up of those I’ve enjoyed most this year. First pile is general fiction and next some classics I’ve read/re-read. Not all of them were likely to take my mind off things...
Three English students get let loose on Bristol bookshops 😍📚
We're open all day today until thursday, so stop by and pick up some lockdown reading :)
We missed bookshop day due to the birth of our baby boy! But yes, great work :) #ResistAmazon
