Welcome to Litsy!

I picked this up in Barter books Alnwick in the summer purely due to the cover + what a great read. Gerry and Sewell are two friends in an impoverished Gateshead but are determined to get Newcastle united season tickets through various dodgy and hopeless schemes. Despite all thar society throws at them, from school teachers to family, their friendship and hope is infectious, yet this is a story that also pulls on your heartstrings.

Bit of book shopping today in Alnwick at the amazing barter books followed by a scenic bus ride back to seahouses and a pint overlooking Bamburgh Castle. My idea of a perfect day!
