    About this audiobook

    Cait is a bookshop owner and book nerd. Her social life revolves around her mobile bookselling service, which hand-picks titles for elderly clients, particularly the grandmotherly June. After a tough decade, Book Fiend is the last bookshop in the central business district, and the last independent retailer on a street given over to high-end labels. Profits are small, but clients are loyal. When James breezes into Book Fiend, Cait realises life might hold more than her shop and her cat - but while the new romance distracts her, luxury chain stores are circling Book Fiend's prime location, and a more personal tragedy is looming.

      Not For The KIDDIES!

      Mar 20, 2022

      Like you, I enjoy reading a mag. And I read loads of non-fiction books. But I don’t read fiction – haven’t read a novel in 20 years. Not sure why. Possibly my attention span is not up to it. Maybe I can’t get excited reading a story that’s made up. A
