[Book-ish 📚 @Bookishcrick]

Please make a super special effort where you can to support independent businesses in South Wales that have been affected by Storm Bert.
Some are closed as they have been flooded, other impacted by road closures. This is such an important time for indie businesses!!

If you have a business that’s impacted, pop your website etc below!

@SerenBooks Very sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family and friends. His impact on Welsh publishing has been enormous.
