What's On My Bookshelf?

Come and have a nosey 👀📚

I love having a peek of other people’s bookshelves, so in this podcast episode I’m welcoming you into my home office to have a nosey at mine. Make yourself comfortable and let’s settle in for a cuppa and some book-ish chat!

*A note to say that I muddle up Daunt Books Notting Hill and Holland Park in this piece - no editing here! So when I’m talking about my solo London book trip I’m talking about Daunt Books Holland Park 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve been lucky enough have a couple of solo trips to London this year, that were only a month or so apart and both involved bookshops or book events. I’m also easily confused - my apologies! Daunt Books Notting Hill is still definately a re-visit…hopefully on a less stormy day!

I’d also love to know…what’s on your bookshelf? What’s the story behind these books and what do they mean to you? Share your book stories in the comments 📚
