Cornwall has been THE best holiday we’ve ever had ☀️🌊🏖
A beautiful holiday home from @cornishgemsholidays - highly recommended. We visited @stivesbookseller to buy some books, obviously. @minacktheatre was stunning in the sun and @stmichaelsmount was fantastic… We loved the rocky boat ride back! 🚤 Gorgeous tapas meal out at @porthmeorcafe too.
Huge thanks to our wonderful staff - Ruth, Penny, Jim and Clare for keeping the shop running during independent bookshop week. We couldn’t do it without them. Luckily there were no major storms, power cuts or floods this time and the phone line has worked throughout the week. Hooray 🙌 Back down to earth now and the rolling hills of Holmfirth… see you next time Cornwall! 🌟🌟🌟

This book is fantastic. Officially YA but very rea

This book is fantastic. Officially YA but very readable as an adult book. Beth and three others start as interns at a New York newspaper at the height of the summer. From the descriptions of Beth’s tiny, shared, cockroach-infested apartment to the heat, smell and bustle of the city you will feel completely immersed. When Beth becomes friends with Edie, one of the other interns, the friendship becomes as suffocating as the New York heat. A coming of age book about trust, carving out your own personality and finding out who you are. Louise loved this book (£12.99)❤️❤️
