Greetings!
Today’s post is a Bonus from the Bookshop for my paid subscribers, who aren’t getting their usual additional essay this week on whateverthehellIwanttowriteabout because I’m here manning the bookshop, alone, in the busiest week of the year (the shop is empty and I’m drinking the hot chocolate that someone sent me in the post).
While I have you here, let me say another huge thank you to everyone who has purchased a book through a link on these letters, my weekly sales report from our Bookshop.Org account says our sales are 35% up from last week. If that was you - thank you, it makes such a difference to a small business like ours and we really appreciate it. There’s even still time to get a gift in time for Christmas - just select 1st Class delivery for orders placed before Thursday!
The usual full day’s Receipt from the Bookshop will come on Thursday on this week, free for everyone to read. Until then, for my patrons, here are some of the things that have occurred on my additional days here, along with some extra musings from me to you, with love from the bookshop.
