Today is the start of Independent Bookshop Week in the UK and Ireland. Browsing for books in a shop is a whole different experience to searching online. Browsing can reveal unexpected and wildly treasured finds. One of the things I love about Independent Bookshops is that they are run by people who are as crazed about books as the writers and readers who frequent them.
What is your favourite independent bookshop?
I’m a fan of so many but you can find a few mentioned in my post on Idiosyncratic Bookshops on the Shepherd website.
And here are a few others I’d like to mention:
Ullapool Bookshop in the Scottish Highlands
The delightfully friendly and hospitable Victoria Bookshop in Haverfordwest in south-west Wales
The fabulous Bookwyrm in Durham
The tiny but well-stocked (yes, my novels are in there) bookshop at Carew Castle in south-west Wales
and Dartington Bookshop in Totnes, Devon
And not in the UK or Ireland, but my local bookshop in south-west France where I spend most of my time these days, is also a favourite haunt:
And in case you want to stock or buy one of my historical novels, here are their sales links, or see further information and advance information sheets on my website Meanda Books:
The Viking Hostage – published next week
Almodis: The Peaceweaver – published 10 July
