Currently reading and becoming obsessed with Daniel Mason’s North Woods. It’s every bit as incredible as @ollie__martin led me to believe. Just when I think I’ve read the most beautiful sentence, another lurks shortly after. Now available as an autumnal @johnmurrays paperback.

I can’t quite explain how special it was to work with the incredibly generous team of @Ll_Finestres booksellers in their astonishingly beautiful bookshops (they have TWO stunning spaces) on my @RISEBookselling exchange in Barcelona last week. QuĂ© experiencia inolvidable!
