It's been an absolute age (nearly six months!) since I last posted which is absolutely terrible, as I've been doing so much travelling between then and now and have so many great photos to post, but I'm going to try hard to remedy the gaps and put everything back up - if only for the purposes of helping my memory and nothing else!
But, I thought I'd start with something altogether more recent. I recently got an email from the LSE Review of Books (who I've written for a few times so far) asking for people to write about their favourite bookshops within a particular town, and I immediately knew I had to write about Oxford. It's one of the best places for books in the UK in my opinion, particularly because of the Last Bookshop, where they sell remainder specialty books for only £2 each! It was very hard to restrain myself from buying too many books that's for sure...
The piece is online here, and also talks about Blackwells and the original Oxfam bookshop, so if you're ever in Oxford and in need of inspiration for a book buying mission, check it out!
