It’s National Chocolate Week! TBH it could be national chocolate week every week in my house. At the end of a long day, nothing beats curling up with a good book, and savouring a good quality dark chocolate square. Or a whole family size bar of Dairy Milk, I’m not fussy! 🍫😆

Mental health is a fragile thing. More fragile than we sometimes think. I have been known to suffer from a mean case of the blues (or the reds as Holly Golightly called them), and anxiety can send me spiralling. When that happens, I switch off social media (and all the noise), and retreat into my trusted safe space: books. As exercise is of known benefit to maintaining good mental health I often pop my headphones in to listen to a book while I go and get a walk. Heck, I’ve been known to play a book I love out loud to help me get out of bed on some days. Honestly, books are magic. Look after yourself and others, my lovelies. 😘😍❤️

📕🛋What I read this week - The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle 📚📖😀☕️

Sometimes you need to return to old friends. I re-read all the classic tales from start to finish, revelling being back in the capable hands of Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes. There are still few creations that truly rival the first detective's gems:

“Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?’
'To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.’
'The dog did nothing in the night-time.’
'That was the curious incident,' remarked Sherlock Holmes.”

The Complete Sherlock Holmes allows readers to experience the entire case-history of Holmes and Dr. Watson from start to finish - the stories that have spawned such infamous characters as the devilish Moriarty, the devious Irene Adler and, of course, the legendary hound of the Baskervilles . . .

In sixty adventures that pit his extraordinary wits and courage against foreign spies, blackmailers, cultists, petty thieves, murderers, swindlers, policemen (both stupid and clever), and his arch-nemesis Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, together with his faithful sidekick Doctor John H. Watson, proves himself to be not only the quintessential detective but also the most engaging and entertaining company any reader could ask for.

Here’s me, my incredible friend Fleur (the owner!), and amazing author Mick Herron at my favourite bookshop Sevenoaks Bookshop in Kent! It’s more than a source of amazing books, as they run superb events, writers’ groups, and even a magazine written and published by children. There are certain places that are truly special in the world, and this is one of them! Happy Bookshop Day! Tell me which is your favourite bookshop? 📚📕📖😘☕️
