Our Non-Fiction Book of the Month for November is the brilliant ‘The Wordspotter’s Guide: Etymological Adventures Through the English Language’ by Olivia Swarthout, the creator and curator of viral internet sensation (and book) @weirdmedievalguys (a love letter to the creativity, hilarity, and timeless appeal of art from the Middle Ages).
* Do you know your lightning-stems from your ‘ground lions’?
* Ever wondered whether you are more of a ‘soft little cheese’ or a ‘manikin’?
* Did the Norse have it right when they called their ale receptacles ‘beer mansions’ and their wine ‘the destruction of dignity’?
Introducing Wordspotting: a hobby for those in search of linguistic illumination. Words give our lives meaning. They gift us the power of communication and lend colour and texture to our experiences. Above all, they allow us to tell stories - including the stories of words themselves.
Brimming with fascinating etymological titbits alongside advice and techniques for detecting the bizarre and unlikely connections between words and their meanings, The Wordspotter’s Guide will set you on the path to becoming the ultimate etymological explorer.

A stunning event with a powerhouse of an author!
Jodi Picoult talked her about her outstanding new book:
Hollow Bones on publication day in Bridgnorth.
A huge privilege to hear her talk about the big themes layered throughout her book and how she researched them.
The whole audience left feeling connected and energised.
Big thanks to Caroline Lang for interviewing , Bridgnorth Library ladies for the warm welcome and a fan filled, enthusiastic audience.
If you couldn’t make it we have signed copies in both shops and online.

A deliciously fun event with one of our favourites last night, chef, restaurateur and author Rick Stein.
Brilliantly chaired by broadcaster and fellow author Louise Minchin, Rick talked about his new book:
Rick Stein’s Cookery Course
It’s a sumptuous package with gorgeous recipes and step by step techniques to improve and expand your cooking skills.
The perfect Christmas gift for the foodie in your life.
Big thanks to our lovely audience for their enthusiasm and warmth. Also to Linghams team and the staff at Chester Racecourse for making us so welcome.
It was a night to remember.

This November our Fiction Book of the Month in Oswestry is the wonderful ‘Slow the Road Shows’ by Ian O’Brien.
Debut author lan O’Brien is a writer and teacher from Manchester and lives in Mid-Wales. His short stories and poetry can be found online and in print in Fictive Dream, Neon, Prole, WestWord, And Other Poems amongst others. ‘Slow the Road Shows’ is his debut novel with Black Bee Books.
“A quietly haunting story of love, loss and family set amongst Welsh hills, 80s Manchester and suffused wit shadows and echoes.” - Stuart Maconie (broadcaster & author)
“This is quiet, immersive storytelling. At one with the landscape, language and people of a small rural Welsh community. Following three generations of a family, their connections, loves and sorrows. What runs throughout is the wild beauty of the hills, a sense of belonging to the land.
Beautiful, tender, haunting, unforgettable, ‘Slow the Road Shows’ is a superb debut. I absolutely loved it.” - Ruth, Bookshop Manager
* Easter, 1999. In the shadow of Epynt mountain, fifteen-year-old Finn is about to make a grim discovery. One that will set him on a road there is no coming back from. A road that will lead through tangled family history, a community betrayed, and a landscape steeped in tragedy.*
We have copies available in store & online now.

Witchy vibes at the bookshop for All Hallows Eve 🎃✨🧹
We have all manner of magical, spooky, and seasonal tales to lean into the darker months ahead. Our café is fully stocked with pumpkin spice and we have a deliciously warming, home baked stem ginger & date cake on our counter.
Bonus points if you can name any of the books Sian & Rosie are clutching like witches familiars...
We'll tag a couple of the authors to give you a clue 👀 @gemma.merino @morvern.studios
