June is one of our favourite (and busiest!) months of the year, & we can’t quite believe it’s here already!
Our shelves are packed full of queer authors & stories every month of the year, but you can see us here with a small selection of some of our recent favourites.
On Friday 10th July we’ll be welcoming chef and writer Alasdair Gill to the bookshop for a discussion about his book Knives and Spoons: A Chef’s Story of Kitchens, Addictions and Mayhem.🍴
