Our little town is still full of tourists, who luckily for me, are looking for books to pass away the rainy days (although it’s stopped raining now). I started stocking childrens’ books last year. I try to keep the usual suspects like J K Rowling, Philip Pullman, Roald Dahl etc along with my personal favourites like Anne Fine (Mrs Doubtfire), Dick King-Smith (The sheep-pig) and a marvellous writer called Morris Gleitzman. If you ever come across a book called “2 weeks with the Queen” do read it. It’s one of the funniest , saddest books ever.
And of course we’re all awash with Election-fever (NOT). As I was just reading the other day, the problem in the UK is that we all know our politicians already, unlike the US, where someone can appear quite quickly (ish) and end up President. However, I promise I will vote……..
