So I’m very lucky because where I work we all hate each other and so I don’t have the pain of going through Secret Santa but I know a lot of you guys will and so I thought it would be a good idea to pull together a list of great books that are a…
Twas the night before Christmas!
One of my favourite parts of Christmas when I was younger was when I would sit with my mam and she would read me a Christmas story. I have a book called favourite christmas stories, now practically falling apart and signed by my nana but it was a much loved book for many years. Even…
Gifts for book lovers
So it’s that season again, where we panic about what to buy people and fight over the last perfect pair of socks for that one special person. And it’s even harder for the bookish ones in your life, they could give you a list of books maybe but then that’s not very personal. So I…

A couple of weeks ago I talked about Confessions Of A Bookseller By Shaun Bythell, a diary where Bythell talks about his life in and around Wigtown and the bookshop he owns there, and how I got the chance to visit the bookshop of my dreams. While there I picked up a couple of books…
