Bookshop Week Coffee Morning

Independent Bookshop Week is a celebration of independent bookshops across the UK and Ireland. It aims to highlight the vital role independent bookshops play in their communities, and to encourage consumers to shop for their summer reads with their local independent.

We are very lucky in Caversham to have the wonderful Fourbears Books. Alex and the team are so very supportive of the community in general and us at Caversham Writers in particular.

So I thought we as a group should show some support in return and this special event is to that end.

Here's the plan:

• We'll gather at Costa Coffee in St Martin's Precinct in Caversham for coffee and a chat.
• Then we troop round to Fourbears and buy a book!
• Share your book purchases on social media tagging @booksaremybag and #IndieBookshopWeek (and @fourbearsbooks)

If you're too far from Caversham to join us in person, visit your local bookshop wherever you are and join in by posting your book purchases on social media tagging @booksaremybag and #IndieBookshopWeek

Let me know how you celebrated Independent Bookshop Week and I'll put it in the Caversham Writers newsletter.
