Bol

Sallanda “Sally” Myers struggles with doubts about her looks, her intelligence, and her self worth. Sally has just graduated from a prestigious west coast university however, she has no idea what she wants to do next. She has no job and no prospects of one. Sally’s best friend Denisha is offered a well-paying career position in Baltimore. After urging from Denisha, Sally accompanies her to Baltimore to keep her company while Sally gets her life together. Shortly after arrival in Baltimore, Sally picks up a job application from a big bookstore chain called Broken Spines and fills out the application in a fit of depression after watching Denisha leave for her first day of work. To her surprise, she is offered a position as a bookseller. What happens next is a journey that Sally never expected, filled with quirky fellow booksellers, even quirkier customers and love interest. Can a pop culture obsessed self described slacker find meaning in her life as a bookseller? Only Sally knows where this path will take her.

More from everyone's favourite misanthropic antiquarian bookseller. A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Irreverently funny ... kept me giggling all week.' Scotland on Sunday "Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?" Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms. Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices. The Diary of a Bookseller (soon to be a major TV series) introduced us to the joys and frustrations of life lived in books. Sardonic and sympathetic in equal measure, Confessions of a Bookseller will reunite readers with the characters they've come to know and love.
