Meet our bookseller @joopoohudson! Julie is over the halfway point with her lockdown A-Z read and has just started on O. She has gone for the very classic Oliver Twist. Her previous A-Z reads were Douglas Starr’s The Killer of Little Shepherds, Kamal Ahmed’s The Life and Times of a very British Man, Stewart Lee’s March of the Lemmings and Derek A. Bardowell’s No Win Race. Julie’s top three letters so far have been B - The Beekeeper of Aleppo, F - Forty Autumns and J - Jane Eyre. Happy reading everyone!

Music Monday...This Thursday would have been the beginning of Glastonbury weekend, as well as its 50th anniversary celebration! A range of online events are available across the @bbc instead, so the festivities can still be enjoyed. As well as @bbctwo and @bbciplayer, @glastofest and @bbcglasto are featuring a variety of virtual events to mark the occasion and @bbctwo will be airing three 90 minute live programmes this Friday, Saturday and Sunday night when the headline events would have been taking place.
🎤
Glastonbury 50 is the official story from Michael and Emily Eavis that goes behind the scenes of the famous festival and features previously unseen photographs. Contributors to the book include Adele, Dolly Parton, Chris Martin, Radiohead, Noel Gallagher, Jay-Z, The Chemical Brothers and many more. A must for music lovers and festival fans!

Eighty years after the Battle of Britain this dram

Eighty years after the Battle of Britain this dramatic book tells the story, in their own words, of six brave young men who fought courageously in the skies above England, as Hitler planned to invade Britain.
📖
This thin blue line were the 'few' to whom Churchill said the nation owed so much. Young men fought each other in a lethal conflict. At stake was the very future of Britain.
📖
The six men in this sympathetic but honest portrayal were from vastly contrasting backgrounds. Geoffrey Page, the victim of horrendous burns, was a founder member of the legendary Guinea Pig Club. Bob Doe was one of the most successful fighter aces but remained unheralded. Cyril Bamberger rose from humble origins as a Sergeant Pilot to win a DFC and bar. Joseph Slagowski was one of the heroic Polish pilots whose contribution to the battle remains scandalously undervalued.
📖
Daily Telegraph journalist, Geoffrey Myers, Intelligence Officer in a squadron that was decimated, wrote eloquent letters to his family, extracts of which are published here for the first time.
📖
Unusually, this book includes the contrasting story of Luftwaffe pilot, Ulrich Steinhilper, shot down in the battle and destined to become one of the greatest escapers of World War II.
📖
These moving portraits highlight the ineradicable marks that one momentous battle made on the brave participants of both sides. Just a few months of brutal combat changed their lives, and history, forever.
