mastodon 4.7.2We are a small but mighty, award-winning, proudly independent bookshop in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh.
Someone left this very chic & fashionable lady in the bookshop.
She's enjoying browsing some arts and fashion books for now, but would very much like to see her little person again.

#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed Hika Harada's Dinner at the Night Library.
An unusual Japanese library, which archives the collections of authors, & where the chef serves dinners inspired by various novels, with a gentle mysteryrunning throughout.

#WhatWereReading : Joe is very much enjoying some 19th century Parisian vampiric decadence, Sara Hinkley's The Red Sacrament from Titan Books.
Riffing deliciously on the old Theatre de Grand Guignol (echoes of The Vampire Lestat), with a queer romance thrown in, and the imminent threat of the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War.

Always a delight to have Justin Davies back for a visit, after a great event at #Bruntsfield Primary. And look at the fabulous Jellyfish shirt to go with his novel, Firebloom!

#WhatWereReading : Joe found Professor Anna Whitelock's The Sun Rising (pub Bloomsbury) to be a fascinating insight into the change from the Elizabethan to Stewart period, laying foundations for a more global Britain afterwards (for good & ill!).
Less a biography of James, more about the world changing around him, at home and abroad (in a seemingly ever expanding world as ships explore more and more of the globe), and how he and those around him react or change to those.
Now in PB
