It’s one of those things I have been meaning (longing) to do since the beginning of lockdown 1.0… Sit down, go through my bookshelves, and make a satisfying list of my favourites, category by category. Ever since the high street shut down (for the third time), second-hand book shops, charity shops & my own amazing local bookshop have been the places I’ve most missed visiting, by far. To soften this blow, I set up a Bookshop.org shop of my own, to proclaim the wonder of the books I’ve had the privilege of getting lost & found in, during the course of this past year. There are many to choose from, and these are lists I shall keep adding to. At present, they house my four main interests in non-fiction… interests that keep evolving & expanding; Plants, herbs & holism; nature & women; play, creativity & mindfulness; and sufficiency & seasonality. I’m working on one all about MAGIC too… and that’ll be added soon.
I hope you enjoy these ready-made and ready-to-read lists, and if you choose to buy from them, rest assured that you’ll be supporting some of the best indie bookshops in the UK. Hooray!
