TrishB I read this too 😔 tried to buy something on the website but wasn‘t working! 6y
squirrelbrain Hi, @miralunasbooknook , yes I know this one well! (There are only 2 bookshops in Harrogate, this one and Waterstones). I‘ve bought quite a few books from here, for myself and for swaps. She has an awful lot of fantasy as that‘s her ‘thing‘. She gets some great author visits too... I missed Tara Westover as I was away but would have loved to have seen her speak...![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Educated: A MemoirRedy2trvl This is a wonderful story! I was a small, brick & mortar store owner for 14 years, and the struggle is real. It is so easy to head to the big box or cluster of chain businesses, and forget about the locally owned, small store hidden on the side street. Sometimes we all need a little reminder. #shopsmall 6y

laurieluna @TrishB think she's been overwhelmed with orders atm! I just hope it doesn't then stop after a week or 2. @squirrelbrain it sounds like the perfect bookshop for me! Will definitely have a look next time we're down that way. @Redy2trvl I've been dabbling with the idea of opening my own second hand bookshop in a local market building, but I don't know if theres a big enough demand. 😕 6y
squirrelbrain @miralunasbooknook - we could have a #minimeetup! Having said that there are only 2 bookshops, there are a lot of charity shops, one that just sells books and a couple that have a lot of decent books.... see my post in a bit for today‘s haul! And of course, there is Bettys for cake.....! 🍰📖🍰📖 6y
laurieluna @squirrelbrain sounds good! We're hoping to take the boys back to Stockeld Park again over the summer, we went the day after the York meet up so we may make a weekend of it again! 😄 xx 6y
squirrelbrain Ooh yes, Stockeld Park is amazing for kids isn‘t it?! Just let me know if you make any plans and we can see if anyone else wants to come too.... 6y
laurieluna @squirrelbrain amazing, and we only got round half of it! Shall see my partner, figure out a weekend and go from there. X 6y
RJHowe Harrigate is home to the Crime Writers Festival every July. Really looking forward to it. 6y
laurieluna @RJHowe I've had a look at that, but crime isn't a big genre for me. Looks fantastic for big fans of it though! 😊 6y
eraderneely @squirrelbrain Yes, I remember there being a lot of book-heavy charity shops. I would be interested in a minimeetup if available. 6y
