My weekly post - Receipt from the Bookshop - is written in real time from my award-winning independent bookshop in St. Annes-on-Sea, UK.
Paid subscribers also get an additional weekly essay/book review and access to my book club.

“The Substack we’re all dying to read every week! Bookshop owner Katie Clapham live blogs about what it’s really like to run a bookshop in a tiny British town on the sea, yet it’s her Bridget Jones voice and humorous observations on the human condition that really keep us begging for more.”
“Like having a trusted friend recommend your next favourite book (and sometimes a tv show or film). The weekly feature direct from Katie's independent bookshop is a gem, with warmly observed characters the excitement of book deliveries and the mini drama over whether there's milk for the tea.”
“I’m always wanging on about Katie’s newsletter, but it’s just the absolute smartest and funniest writing about books and reading (and sometimes TV and Keanu Reeves). ”
