Green Man 2022 This past weekend I was at Green Man Festival with the rest of the Book-ish team and it was such fun! Green Man is close to us, set on the Glan Usk estate and surrounded by gorgeous views. We are the resident bookshop and are pitched next to the Talking Shop …
Hay-on-Wye is a top destination for bookworms all over the world. As I’ve always lived in Wales, I’ve been lucky enough to visit several times. Now I live even closer than ever and it’s just a short drive over, plus I am lucky enough to have book-loving friends who will come with me and understand …
Today is my bookseller birthday! I have now worked at Book-ish for one year and it is truly the happiest I’ve ever been in a job. I feel so lucky to not only have a job that surrounds me with books and other readers but to also work with amazing people that I now count …
Good morning, how are you doing today? This week’s Sunday Stories comes to you from my current position snuggled up in bed before I go and cuddle the dog. Perfect Sunday morning. My plans for today include reading, writing my last uni assignment of the year and drinking lots of coffee. Got 2,000 words to write …

Oh hey there! Fancy seeing you here. I’ve had a weekend full of fun and treats. We celebrated my stepdad’s birthday with afternoon tea & some prosecco yesterday which was glorious. Then this morning my boyfriend and I blew away the cobwebs with a blustery walk in a local park. Not a whole lot of …
You guys, how is it Sunday already? I felt like this week (/month/year) is flying past in the blink of an eye. This week, like most of the UK, I have mainly been trying to avoid melting in this heatwave. This weekend was then spent dodging the rain. Oh, the joys of British weather! Today’s …
Good morning! I’m writing this week’s Sunday Stories whilst munching on my breakfast and feeling content. Yesterday we met some friends for a BBQ in a local park and it was so lovely to be out in the sun, feeling somewhat normal! Today’s plan is to catch up on some reading so let’s crack on …
You guys, this week has been busy. I’ve had lots going on with work and life, but had a lovely overnight trip to my parents. That’s meant I’ve taken a bit of a break from social media – it’s crazy what even a day away from your phone can do! I have managed to squeeze …
