If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
Amy Stone@amyfleurstone.bsky.social · 2y agoI absolutely loved this book and you should all read it - simple as that - but please justify my editor’s excellent decision to feature it in Northern Soul’s Editor’s Picks by reading my review of Burnt Ice Cream by Candi Martin 🙏🏻❤️😅@writtenoffbooks.bsky.social www.northernsoul.me.uk/burnt-ice-cr...
A very Plathesque trip to Hebden this weekend with a diversion over frozen moors. Staying in the Plath room was a cool surprise too. 📚
