Nicholas Royle’s Finders, Keepers is a brilliant, droll look at the "secret life" of second-hand books – from maps-as-bookmarks to charity shop treasures.

Out 14 April from @saltpublishing.com. A must-read for #Booksky!

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Found a bonus Puffin Post in a pile of papers I was tidying away.
An almost wistful melancholy quality to this one, Jill McDonald having rendered every little detail beautifully as usual, that perfect skyline darkening under dusk, the aeroplane almost exiting the frame
