Toni @ Twenty is up and ready to shop! She’s scaring more than just crows though, a combination of being not at all creative and very last minute, thank goodness my Dad had some prior in the scarecrow field (geddit?) or it could have been a lot worse (hard to believe I know 😀) Robb's Roost

I love this idea and made a start on my copy last night. Great to get a new bestseller for just £3 too, so come on down bookworms and get your copy! 📖

📣NEW FOR 2026: THE BIG SUMMER READ
CLARE LESLIE HALL: BROKEN COUNTRY📣

To coincide with this year’s National Year of Reading, we'd be delighted if you would join us for The Big Summer Read. 📚

We are encouraging everyone to read the same book over the summer months, and to come along and meet the author during the Festival over a glass of w**e. Clare will be in conversation with Festival Patron, Veronica Henry, which will be held on Tuesday 22 September at 7.30pm-8.30pm, in St Mary’s Church, Appledore (£10 a ticket).

The chosen book, Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall, has been a global bestseller with more than one million copies sold worldwide. Set in a West Country village this beautifully written love story, with the pulse of a thriller, is a novel of impossible choices and devastating consequences.

The book is on sale at a reduced price of just £3 (RRP £9.99) at the following local outlets:

Johns of Appledore & Johns of Instow - Market Street Kitchen - Number Twenty
The The Seagate, Appledore, Devon - Maggies Cafe at St Margaret's Church, Northam - The Crowbar, Northam - Bread Cafe, Bideford - The Burton at Bideford

It is also available at local libraries and is perfect for book clubs and reading groups, or for anyone who likes a good read.
