It's not too late for some summer reading!

It's not too late for some summer reading! In fact, any time of the year is perfect to lose yourself in a summer read.

'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm' can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel, set in an English used and antiquarian bookshop, but it is more fun as part of the bookshop series.



BOOK FOUR OF THE SECONDHAND BOOKWORM SERIES AND IT’S SUMMER AT THE BOOKSHOP! 

 “It’s summer in Castletown and festival week has begun. Nora Jolly spends her week chasing ice-cream eaters out of the secondhand bookworm, foiling a bookshop robbery, visiting the new Duke’s library, watching the tuk-tuk drive tourists up to the carpet of flowers, taking a trip to Shakespeare on the hill and a wine-tasting ABBA concert, all the while dealing with regular bookshop customers such as Spencer and his alien sightings, Crossword-Lady, Miss Raven and a new gentleman friend as well as an invasion of Moomins on stilts, flying monkeys and an enormous moustache!”

IT’S ANOTHER WEEK AT THE BOOKSHOP!

Start the series today with 'The Secondhand Bookworm' by Emily Jane Bevans

THIS WEEKEND - Free KINDLE SUMMER book - Summer at the Secondhand Bookworm

Image
THIS WEEKEND I am making available my novel 'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm' which is book 4 in my series of happy, funny novels set in an English bookshop FREE to download through Amazon Kindle. The novels are based upon my ten years experience running three antiquarian and secondhand bookshops in Sussex, England, primarily the branch in Arundel, West Sussex until 2012. 'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm' naturally includes a wry look at running a bookshop during the summer season with plenty of mishaps and book-related sub-plots. Have you ever attended the Festival of Flowers? Have you been on the Gallery Trail in Arundel? Ever been up to the castle or, of course, into the bookshop in the town below? This book can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel and could serve as a taster for the series of which I currently have 6 in publication. The book will be available to download from free until Monday at midnight, worldwide through Amazon. Here's the blurb...

A trip to Badgers Books, Worthing and some resources

Image
Today (Friday 20th December 2019) my sister had her eye test in Specsavers so afterwards we walked down to Badgers Books, a secondhand bookshop in Worthing just off of Montegue Street. I was interested in buying some cheap old books for mixed media collage canvases that I have been doing lately. I am now not immune to the smell of used books having not worked in a bookshop since 2012. I had become immune to it after ten years running a secondhand bookshop in Arundel (and Worthing and Chichester) but no, it was strong and familiar again like when I first started in my bookshop in 2002... Badgers Books is smaller than the bookshop I worked in and the one that features in my series of novels 'The Secondhand Bookworm'. It was easy to navigate and my sister said she loved the mess, with books piled up everywhere. I have to admit it would have driven me crazy, I like books really neat on shelves and none on the floor, but it was fun to have a look about. Being low on the ...

Strange Things at The Secondhand Bookworm (book 10 coming soon!), fun, books, novels, bookshops

Image
I have almost finished writing book 10 in The Secondhand Bookworm series of novels set in an English bookshop. This book is called 'Strange Things at The Secondhand Bookworm'. It has been such fun to write, with strange and weird things occurring in the shop, the arrival of Erik Lodbrok, calls to an abandoned lunatic asylum, government lab and other unusual places, with anything and everything happening in a crazy week of madness, romance, rivalry and fun at the south coast of England's most eccentric bookshop. Slugs, blocked drains, Screamo, stalkers, wicked rumours, the Duke of Cole returning home early (much to Nora's delight), a huge Viking determined to take over The Secondhand Bookworm, a roller derby, Nora's matchmaking, murder hornets and screaming in the walls, an MI5 Agent investigating the bizarre happenings, customers, regulars, new characters, and books, lots and lots of books (plus much more) in this 10th novel in The Secondhand Bookworm series. Coming...
