BYOB: Bookshop Books

We are looking forward to our second pre-holidays Bring Your Own Book event.

Bring a favourite book (or two) that you’ve read (or want to read) featuring bookstores (fiction, non-fiction, all welcome!). This will be a relaxed and informal chat—perfect for getting into the holiday spirit with fellow book lovers!
