On the Twentieth day of Advent

"Wave of Nostalgia"

I have just come across the most fascinating independent bookshop in Haworth by accident.

Whilst initially going to Haworth with the intention of seeing the parsonage decorated for Christmas, only to be foiled by a power cut !!!! I was drawn into this Aladdin's Cave of books ( and other wonderful gifts) by the stunning window display.


This bookshop is what dreams are made of and I could literally have bought so many books thanks to the excellent taste of Diane, the lovely owner, and yes Diane I will most definitely be back.

Needless to say I did restrain myself today to two books; another TJKlune  book"Wolfsong" and another Jackie Morris book "The Unwinding" along with a stunning Jackie Morris tote bag to carry my books in which has a beautiful poem on the back (both of these authors have featured in earlier Advent posts.)


Browsing around the books and chatting to Diane, who is so passionate about them all, and finding we had the same eclectic taste in literature was such a lovely way to spend some time on a wet, cold December day.




All I can add is that if you are ever in Haworth drop in to this wonderful bookshop and spend some time browsing Diane 's carefully chosen selection. You won't be disappointed with her choices for all ages.

Alternatively if you can't visit have a look at the following websites and support a small independent bookshop.

The Delegate by Ali Carter

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital. However, her work was unfinished and a second escape quite out of the question. It was why she had the need of a delegate. A killer to complete a very important job…someone she’d control. Annie… She had found the perfect person in Annie. A woman who felt cheated. A woman who was mentally and emotionally scarred in exactly the same way Charlotte had been throughout her own life. Annie was fully ripe for manipulation in t...

Tristan /Yseulte by Harry Bonelle

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

  My Father & Other Animals  by Mike Kirby  My Father & Other Animals was published in February 2024.  My thanks to Mike for sending me a copy  in return for an honest review. Synopsis My parents chose the Yorkshire Pennines – a tough place to pursue their dream of having their own farm. Dad, a man of many actions but few words, was as relentless as the farming seasons, and through long hours and lots of mud, sweat and tears, gradually carved out a living, slowly making real the vision that they shared. My Father and Other Animals tells the story of how this driven man, always hand in hand with Mum, and blessed with a unique understanding of his animals, brought their  farming dream to life, building a successful farming business against the backdrop of the South Yorkshire hills.  Together they raised  a family, blessing all four of their sons  with their  common sense and restless work ethic and love of being outdoors, working s...
