Our final issue of the year is out now, in the shop and on our website, where it enjoys the company of the rest of our back issues.

This issue features a couple of special additions.

In The Reader: our first Bookseller's Review from Luc (our Saturday bookseller), and the first installment of our new Poetry Corner, from local writer and poet Carol Hayes.

In The Little Reader, Miss Corrie launches her new series, The Lucy Chronicles, where Miss Lucy finds herself mysteriously transported into the world of Narnia when she falls asleep atop an open book in the children's section. Trust me that this is an absolute must-read. It begins:

"Lucy was a bookstore cat and had been for as long as she
could remember. Her days were filled with the tinkling of the
bell on the door, announcing customers as they came in and
out of the shop. She loved to greet each one with a purr or
gentle nuzzle. Most customers left with a book, but she knew
the real reason they came was to see her. She had been told
by more than one that she was a most splendid and beautiful
creature..." ❄️

(As always, we are printed by our friends at Ink Ability)
