Front cover of Lulu Allison's book "Salt Lick"

I'm getting these copies directly from Lulu.

Unbound get NOTHING.

So (full disclosure), each copy you buy, Lulu gets £4, Paypal gets about 96p, Royal Mail gets £3.90, the packaging company gets 46p, & I get £2.17.

And you get an amazing book!

We all win!

This is a GREAT book. A surreal post-apocalyptic novel with a Greek Chorus like no other.

What a day.

First, my printer stopped working.

Then, on the way to the post office, carrying two post sacks, my shoelace came undone.

And then I had a sneezing fit.

So, my plan to become the world's number one online bookseller may have to wait another day.

Anyway, sausages for tea!

Thanks Emma.

I've got that on order for me too. It's £11.99 + £1 P+P.

Hope that's OK.

Also, what do you think about the idea of a Womens Prize shortlist book club, where we meet a day or two on Zoom/Teams to discuss the 6 shortlisted books & pick a winner?

The view from underneath Hastings Pier

The tide was out on my walk along the seafront this morning, so I was able to walk under the pier.

It always feels slightly eerie when I do this!

I would have opened earlier, but after the excitement of World Book Day yesterday, I let the books have a bit of a lie in.

It's World Book Day today.

So I gave all my books the day off.

They had a great time.

Played a bit of Crazy Golf, went to the arcades, and ate far too many donuts.

They're back now, but they're still so hyper, I doubt I'll be able to get them to sleep for ages!

I'm glad they had fun though.
