I loved visiting The Small City Bookshop #Bristol to sign copies of Sculling, have a natter, smell pages and pick up a copy of the latest Maggie Nelson. A beautiful space. They have a 3rd birthday party on Nov 20th, 6-8pm. 10% off books and a free cocktail/mocktail. 🍹 What’s not to love? #booksky

Late night signing postcards to post to a dear family friend who will then slip them into all the Scullings she’s bought for her pals. I’m told she’s making ripples and that her friends are buying it for their friends for Christmas. So very lucky to know such sweetness. 💙 #booksky #poetry
