Half Man, Half Bookshop. Moved to Hastings in 2018 to start a wild new adventure with my family. Not the inventor of the word "brainbow" https://www.biggreenbookshop.com/

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?
I HAVE A PATREON!
I've just sent a newsletter, letting Patreons know about SIX new signed books i'll be getting that nobody else knows about!
I've added a link HERE, cos for this particular post you don't need to be a member to read it.
BUT PLEASE DO JOIN.

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!
Hello Bluepals, we are open.

What an amazing person Charles M Schultz was.
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.
Thanks! Dragon's Green (it's awesome) is £7.99, Impossible Creatures is £8.99 & Equal Rites is £10.99.
So it's £27.97 in total. Hope that's OK?
Thanks so much Mags!
@holmfirthartist.bsky.social can you DM me the book title and the name and address to post the book to please.
I'll send you a copy courtesy of @mags121.bsky.social
Thanks so much gang.
So much amazing #buyastrangerabook day action today.
I reckon about 18 books were given away today.
There are still a couple of unclaimed offers, but i'm really tired now so i'm off to bed.
Nighty night.
OK

Soz about the "science" request that you weren't happy with.
