Last week myself, Lynn and Bridget visited the shop for the first time since lockdown was announced. Fitted with masks and gloves and situated at different ends of the shop, we began the exciting task of getting our bookshop into shape, building it section by section. All of our books are locally sourced donations and it has been interesting to see the range and variety of your reading.
Fiction titles comprise the largest donated genre with around 3,500 novels. General fiction, crime, and thrillers have been placed in the first section against the left wall. Most popular donated authors include Lee Child, James Patterson, Jeffrey Archer, Philippa Gregory and Stephen King. It was heartening to read a recent Reading Agency survey of 2,000 people, that found 31% of people were reading a lot more since lockdown.
