Some of you may remember last June, when we launched wonderful local author Thomas Brown's magnificent gothic horror debut "Lynnwood".For those of you who don't, there is a great little video created by Southampton University student Joseph Madden, which sums up the event brilliantly.
It was an incredible day celebrating an incredible book and the storytelling skill and passionate work that has gone into it. For those of you unfamiliar with that beauty, pop into the shop and speak to me or see the reviews on our website.
Well, we have been tweeting about it for a bit now, but a little while ago, "Lynnwood" was nominated for the People's Book Prize, a prize not given by a distant panel of people, but by readers, through a democratic process of voting.
And the great news is that "Lynnwood" is now one of the finalists!
We're extremely proud to support Mr Brown and his work - it truly is a book we love and believe in!
And in other good news, Witneyite and born Oxford man, Mr Brown has also become the poster boy for the Southampton University English and Creative Writing degrees.
A great thumbs up from us, and a massive recommendation to all our customers.
Lots of booky love,
Patty
