Nairn today is all about the sinkhole. (We're still open as normal - though a little more difficult to get to!) If you do manage to wend your way here, why not try this excellent short novel (with 11 different endings!) in which sentient sinkholes feature heavily...

It's June! Whatareyoureading? @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social uk.bookshop.org/lists/jumpin...

Got some books from @nairnbooks.bsky.social

The shop has a book group! In June we're reading Brodie by Gillian Shirreffs, which deftly weaves the lives of 6 women together thru a copy of the Spark book. In July we're reading The Original by Nell Stevens, described as ‘Jane Eyre by way of Patricia Highsmith’! We've copies of both in the shop.
