We've finally joined the place with the nice blue sky. You can find us using the handle mostly-books (because Mostly Books in Tucson, AZ got there first). We're still on Instagram, using mostlybooks_shop. See you there for lovely bookish chat!

Then on to @MostlyReading where I slightly fangirled over brilliant bookseller Jack (I love his Instagram). A true gem of a bookshop and so great to chat all things Oxford and how nice it is when Abingdon gets a mention! Thank you for having us! @VikingBooksUK @FigTreePenguin
