Winter is almost here
The cold weather is starting to kick in and for many of us that means a great excuse to get more books for those dark and rainy evenings and weekends.
We have done a bit of re-arranging in the shop so if you haven't been in for a while, pop in to say hi and check out the new layout; or view the window display of books set during summer or in tropical places. If just looking at the sunny beaches and destinations on the covers gives you a warm feeling, then reading the book will transport you there.
Books with summer, beach or tropical and sunny destinations in the shop window and through the link at our online shop.
We have a month by month reading challenge - find out more at Bookclub on our website or follow us on the Writers Plot Bookclub facebook page.
