The person reading this now might write a New York Times best seller one day or a book club pick or become the author whose book has a waiting list at the library. You hold limitless potential in your fingertips. Keep writing.
In a culture of constant busyness, finding the time to read can be challenging.
Here's a list of some excellent SHORT books you can read in just a few hours:
#BookTwitter we need your help! I run Book Bodega, an Indy bookshop in Ramsgate. Winter is killing us, it’s soo quiet & we need to make £800 by Tuesday to pay our bills. This is my current view = no customers 🥹. Please shop with us and help us stay open!

Me: 'Mummy is feeling a little sad this morning.'
My daughter: 'Oh. Is it because you are always starting writing new stories and haven't ever finished one of them yet? Are you sad about that?
Me: 'No. But I am now.'
By special requests, you little doom scrolling dummies, who’s supposed to be writing right now? You know why you’re not? Because you’re procrastinating and avoiding, you naughty no-worders. You know where this is going. It’s day 2 of being told off by someone else who is on…
Good morning, you gorgeous, easily distracted, should-be-writing but are pretending this is vital “social media” time. Get your badasses off this time-suck monster and get your fingers tapping on those keys. I want 250 words from each of you RIGHT NOW. Let me know when you’re…
A 90 year old lady I look after with bad vision spent 3 months making this. She doesn't think it's good. I think it's amazing and full of character. Let's show her how good it is...
Got trolled a few days ago for posting 'precious, middlebrow, feel-good twaddle'.👀
My tweets/photos are designed to lower stress hormone & lift mood. I'm told they work.
I'd rather post an (arguably silly) tiny posy in a thimble & increase someone's dopamine than be a troll🌿
I need to see some positivity on my feed this evening and what better way to do that than with some bookish chat so…
What is everyone reading at the moment?
Or what have you read lately that you’ve loved?

In case you were looking for something happy please welcome Lottie, who hasn't stopped purring and playing since we got her home from the wonderful RSPCA in Brighton. Later this week she will meet Liesl face to face for the first time. Do wish us all luck!
Get lost among the bookshelves!
Residents staying at the Library can access the Reading Rooms from arrival to departure.
Guests can spend all day (9am to 10pm) in the Theology Room, then retire to their bedroom to read on. Doesn't that sound heavenly?
