Thank you @brixtonbard for coming in today!!! Everybody loved meeting you and we hope to see you again! #BlackHistoryMonthUK #blackauthors #waterstones
Harper Collins paid £2 million for Boris Johnson's memoirs. Booksellers are left with piles and piles of unsold books. When are they going to learn to invest in real writing talent rather than throwing ridiculous amounts of cash on politicians and celebrities?

I just watched Small Axe, the episode on Alex Wheatle and it's an incredible watch. A very tough watch - such a tough childhood/youth due to racism. Very well acted. Very informative too. Highly recommend bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0… via @bbciplayer

What a great read @brixtonbard I expected the book to last me a few days but I couldn't put it down last night. Brought back lots of memories with the music, clothes as well as the places in & around Croydon @foxlanebooks (I would never have stumbled upon this book without you)🤩
