So, Donald Trump has arrived in Britain. Just in time for tomorrow's release of 'Siege' by Michael Wolff.
With 'Fire and Fury', Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in 'Siege', he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side.
A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller report, Siege reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic and exposed.

Not long until David Walliams unleashes the World's Worst Teachers on us! Pre-order now and we'll guarantee it at HALF PRICE! (Offer Price £7.49, RRP £14.99). Just send us a mesage using the button below and we'll get it sorted! ~ Paul

The TV adaptation of Good Omens is out now!
The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book contains much that is new and revelatory and even several scenes that are not actually in the final television series.
Neil Gaiman's glorious reinvention of the iconic bestseller Good Omens is adapted from the internationally beloved novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman and is soon to be a massive new TV launch on Amazon Prime Video and the BBC. The series is written and ...show-run by Neil himself and stars David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.
Includes an introduction by Neil Gaiman about bringing Good Omens to the screen
Before he died in 2015, Terry Pratchett asked Neil Gaiman to make a television series of the internationally beloved novel they wrote together about the end of the world.
And so, Neil began to write. And continued to write until he had six episodes that brought an angel, Aziraphale and a demon, Crowley (the only things standing between us and the inevitable Armageddon), to life for the screen.
Contained between the covers of this book are the scripts that Neil wrote, which later turned into some of the most extraordinary television ever made. Take a tour behind the scenes with a text that reveals the secrets of the show, still has the missing bits and, sometimes, asks for the impossible. Step backstage and see the magic for yourself. You may just learn as much from the scenes that never made the final cut, as from those that did.

I asked Iain the cat if he wanted to come to work with me today for our pet week activities. 2 seconds after this photo was taken, he fell asleep again. #middlesbrough #petweek #cats #catsofinstagram

Just finished this before tomorrow's kid's bookclub. Tears pricking my eyes. Thank you, Onjali Q. Raúf, for writing such a beautiful, inspiring and hopeful novel. With everything happening in the news, it's sometimes easy to forget there are more nice people than silly people. ❤

Kid's bookclub! Don't forget, we're meeting TOMORROW at 2pm to discuss 'The Boy at the Back of the Class'. Hope to see lots of you there. ~ Paul

Bookseller Paul swears blind he's just seen that there Miley Cyrus in our store with a parmo box in her hand, buying a copy of The Da Vinci Code. I'm not convinced, but as it's the Radio 1 Big Weekend down the road, anything's possible.
So if you want to get Jess Glynne a nice light romance for between soundchecks or a quiz book to keep Mumford and Sons out of trouble before they go onstage, we're open all weekend. We're also a cool, calm haven if you're a non-celeb who needs somewhere peaceful to hide!

Very sad to hear that Judith Kerr has passed away. The Tiger Who Came to Tea is one of those books that all booksellers love to recommend.
