Welcome

Personal blog and comfy corner of Lyra Rhodes: musician, cake aficionado, whinger...maybe just a place where I can stuff things (words!), rather than them falling down the back of the sofa

Mmmm...Bookshops

I love my Kindle. With it, the number of books I read has increased tenfold. But, today, and many many days, I'm sat in a bookshop, holding (analogue) books, smelling them, whispering quietly (yet it isn't a library) like everyone else.
It'll be the absolute crime of the century if book shops disappear, leaving only the soulless in soulless supermarket shelves...

I agree. Bookstores are magical places. If you ever travel this way, we have some particularly good ones.
