Jonathan Coe’s latest novel is simultaneously a satisfying murder mystery, a spoof of recent publishing trends, and history of the political ideologies that resulted in Liz Truss’s short spell as Prime Minister. A genuinely funny and thought-provoking treat!

Here are our Christmas opening hours for the festive period 🎄We are also going to be open until 4pm on Sundays on the 8th, 15th and 22nd December 🙌

Could this be a late contender for one of Louise’s books of the year? Quite possibly!

Set in Morano, near Venice, in 1486, Orsola is part of a prestigious glassmaking family who send their goods all over the world. But when the fate of the family changes course, can they adapt to survive?

This story spans hundreds of years while time for Orsola almost stands still. In a hugely ambitious book, this story is completely captivating and it is impossible not to be swept away by the characters and the immersion in Venetian culture.

We have special sprayed edge editions in stock here https://to-be-read.co.uk/books/the-glassmaker/ and in the shop!

It’s going to be a lovely sunny day today so come down and enjoy your shopping in Holmfirth. Don’t forget that Matt Jackson-Smith is also joining us at 12pm to sign and dedicate copies of his book, My Life as a Yorkshire Vet.

We’ll see you there 👋

💛🎄 You might have noticed that the temporary traffic lights are gone in the centre of Holmfirth, traffic is moving freely and the pavements are back open. Hooray!! You can cruise in, park up and shop ‘til you drop 🙌

In addition to this, from Monday 2nd December the Council Offices car park will be short stay as well as long stay so that those of you who have struggled to get to us will now have somewhere to quickly park if you need an emergency Read voucher for a children’s party or if you find it difficult to walk from the other end of town. Thanks to the council for acting quickly to get this changed.

After what can only be described as a bit of a rainy Saturday last weekend, please come out in force and support your local businesses, we need you now more than ever before! 💛🎄
