I love this! I am having a week - culminating in a grumpy old lady telling me and my kid off for cycling on a cycle path - and kiddo and I had to come home and cuddle up on the sofa with a pack of shortbread and some therapeutic Octonaut viewing. I'm about to rejoin the world of the living and this was definitely a perk me up.
Just wanted to say two things - first You are Here is absolutely phenomenal and totally worth the wait, people need to believe your hype and love for it! Second, I will be subscribing to your Substack come pay day, I've been trawling today and I love your content!
Nobody has any idea what they're doing. How many times have I magically fixed something techy by just answering the phone and even won a few awards for that? ... That's how good we are, and without even trying ;)
Welcome back 🍷 I find that the power of your art and craft is that I had a lingering sense that a good friend of mine was away on holiday and I was both very happy for you and very sad for me because I knew that I should refrain from pinging you with my every bookish thought and feeling while you were recharging! 🧉
Oh my gosh, stop explaining. You are ABSOLUTELY actually one of the top ten best bookshops in the UK. OWN IT.

Loving the new title! 👏👏
My 9yo boy read Unicorn Boy and he really liked it. Good pick for the bookshop. X
I just finished Soldier Sailor a few minutes before reading your post. I had tears running down my face. What a book!

good to have you, your customers and your books back.
Ahhhhhh this is so delightful and/but is definitely not helping me get over my dream of working in a bookstore!!

Love your new title and the old one too, I’m not sure you really are terrible at titles! Nice to see you back, glad you had a nice break!
Ps. Maple Lam has a substack with great posts about her Monkey King graphic novel
I love the new title, too. It is one of the substacks I really look forward to reading!
Good things come in three's, maybe those books came in while you were away 🤗, welcome back!
A wooden badger?!?!? *melts*...
