Good morning.
The press love a list and the best of's, don't they.
Arbiters of style and what our 'reading ' habits should be.
If you're able, read whatever you like and if you can buy books from bookshops, please do.
And support your local libraries too!

Somebody just walked into our front room and said looking round.
'Bluemoose Bookshop?'
'No.'
'Oh, I thought you were a bookshop.'
'No, we're a publisher.'
She looked at the TV and our confused dog.
'Not a bookshop then.'
And left our middle terraced house.

TV series of Leonard & Hungry Paul has concluded & the responses have been phenomenal.
We have never ever sold so many copies of a book in a 3 month period like this.
With Rónán appearing on BBC Radio 4 soonish & the TV series on RTÉ next year, fingers crossed it continues!
