A busy second day at The Open Book! I opened from just after 10 and after a quiet start, things really picked up around lunchtime.

A lot of people were visiting the area yesterday and popped in to look for books by local authors. If I didn't have what they were looking for, I sent them down the road to The Bookshop, The Old Bank Bookshop or Well-Read Books.

I sold books on how to be right, Victorian prophets, nature and freelancing as a journalist (I wonder who bought that one...) before breaking for a late lunch at Café Rendezvous. The salad was 10/10.

After lunch, I took a trip to Well-Read books (my neighbour!) and marvelled at their crime selection, as well as Number 11 is Wigtown Festival Company's book and gift shop.

Customers: 20

Takings: £31.85

Outgoings: 5 books, apple and caramel cake

Currently reading: Preloved by Lauren Bravo (finished last night,) The Glass Cliff by Sophie Williams

I understand that bookshops tend to have a lot of books in them, but there are so many books in this shop.
