Addlestone station books for the community

Fancy a good old read on the train & not the usual daily paper?Then pop into the booking hall and see if there is anything you want to borrow.

Going to be doing something I haven't done for a while. One of my little reviews.
I didn't know what to think of this as I started to read it but the more I read I thought it was quite a nice little story. But it does keep shifting from character to character quickly.

For those who are interested, I have now been sent a list for what items to add to the shoe box. I think the closing date will be the end of next week(still trying to find out).

Last was the first time we did this at Addlestone and doing it again this this year. Even though it says Ascot station it will be here. Not sure on closing date but will find out.

Finally got my delivery of poppies today. I've not seen many places with them this year so if your passing through and wish to get one...

[Addlestone station books for the community @AddlestoneBook1]

Had a nice delivery this morning. Lost property have run out of room so I managed to get a good selection.

Been a while since I've posted but this time it's something different. If your using the train next Tuesday or just passing by why not pop in for a drink and cake or biscuit. All for a good cause.
If anyone uses a refillable cup then bring it along to.

Haven't done any of my little reviews for a while.
First book I've read by Graham Norton and was really impressed. I like how each chapter went from past to present,the story behind the characters and a really nice ending.

[Addlestone station books for the community @AddlestoneBook1]

Everything sorted out and on display. The tall bookcase I got from a neighbour and few books as well.
Had some lovely donations from people in Addlestone who have moved or wanted a new home for their books.
Thank you to those who have donated 🙂🙂🙂

2/2
It would mean relying on book donations & I know there are a few charity shops these days who don't want books anymore so it would mean a new home for them. Please retweet if you are in the Addlestone area so I can get an idea of who would be interested. Thank you in advance.
