This month we've been given another glimpse into the life of Viv Albertine and are celebrating two great authors who also happen to be booksellers!
The Chameleon by Sam Fisher
John is infinite.
John can become any book, any combination of words, any newspaper, pamphlet, heavy tome, or trashy novel he desires. It's time for him to tell his own story. When you're as old as him time starts to do funny things and so the narrative snakes back and forth through the centuries in search of meaning, shaped by the hands turning John's pages and racing through love, literature, murder, and mundanity.

Bookshop Girl by Chloe Coles
Saving Bennett's Bookshop with a dodgy fringe.
Paige Turner has a long to-do list. Sort out that fringe she's chopped at this morning. Try not to be hypnotised by the dreamy eyes of Blaine. Get herself and her best friend Holly through a long and potentially boring summer in small town Greysworth. AND save their employer from closure, the wonderful and old-book-and-dust-smelling Bennett's Bookshop. Full of fun, silliness, feminism, and genuine book joy, this is a fantastic read for anyone who's ever loved a bookshop.

To Throw Away Unopened by Viv Albertine
What was I fighting for? Even now I'm not sure.
For those who loved Clothes Clothes Clothes. Music Music Music. Boys Boys Boys. Viv Albertine allows us back into her life for a second instalment. This biography picks up as Albertine's mother's health is sharply deteriorating and she's beginning to interrogate all the relationships in her life thus far: romantic, Platonic, and parental. It's deeply honest, incredibly intelligent, and quite sweary.
