Welcome to today’s news round up.
It has been a hectic and exhilarating day and, no surprise, one filled with books. Loads of stunning, beautiful books. And the title of the moment is square in shape.
When the bang of the door was followed by heavy clumps echoing up the office stairs, I felt a flutter of anticipation, wondering if it would be Emily Benet’s Shop Girl Diaries arriving hot off the presses. It was, and we were quickly drafted in to help the drivers bring thirty-four boxes up the stairs in a chain-team effort.

Mad mayhem followed in the office as we all scrambled to have a peek, and then rushed to label up the boxes and get them shipped out to shops and customers. Twenty boxes later, everything was piled up for our DHL man, and we were all ready for lunch.
Lee had brought in a succulent-smelling home-cooked meal of rice and vegetable curry, which he informed me was full of sweet potato, courgette, and red pepper. It looked pretty good next to my microwave chicken and mushroom pie and Gretel’s disappointing jacket potato.
Have a great weekend. I will: I have my weekend reading packed in my bag!
