@matthaig1 We certainly do have The Midnight Library, even have a copy myself... amazing read!

We will be open extended hours from Monday to Wednesday this week. This will be 9.30am until 7.00pm for the three days only. The second hand book section on the upper two floors will close at 4.30pm on each of these days with the ground floor remaining open until 7pm.

Some questions for journalists to ask at the 4pm briefing: Did the Cummings family stop at a service station or any other place for food, drink or loo break on their 250-mile journey? If so, where & is there CCTV footage showing how many people they possibly infected?

@MorecambeBayCCG Amazing to know this....especially when the nhs is already coping with so much.

Health chiefs across Morecambe Bay are urging people not to put off getting help when they need it. People might be putting themselves or their loved ones at risk by not seeking urgent help when needed. Remember: We’re open, let us help you. Read more: tinyurl.com/y7duk2f6

@wellbeingandy Get well soon......speedy recovery.

Last week my Dad (95) was asked twice by his practice coordinator if he wanted to sign a DNR. He refused and told her why. Within 48 hrs a letter signed by his GP arrived informing him the GP had overruled and signed on Dad's behalf. 48 hrs later Dad is a broken man.Given up.

@Sinead_ONeill Thank you so much for your bravery, your kindness.....words can’t express the gratitude this nation has for you and all the brave NHS staff.

Three 12hr shifts done, One day off and then back in for four 12hr shifts. I’m tired, my feet are sore and I miss my kids. Remember stay at home and stay safe. We’ve got you. ❤️ #nhs

@Miyahoka Happy Birthday to one brave, loving and totally inspirational parent. You are not in this alone! Xxx

@AnnCleeves A huge hug to you, and for all the people in isolation without the person they love. Your sentiment puts real perspective on the situation, about the loneliness and heartache @AnnCleeves

Today I'm jealous of the people with partners, even partners who snore and fart and drop food on their jumpers. I have a brilliant family, but it's not the same.

due to the increasing risk of coronavirus, we are re-implementing our tried and tested plague protocols last used in 1918 1⃣ you wait across the road from the bookstore 2⃣ you drop coin into a designated bucket 3⃣ we hurl a random book at you across the street

@JanetEmson Count us in, happy to do children’s and adult.

Would any independent bookshops be interested in taking part in an alternative best seller list? All you’d have to do is tell me the best selling books at your shop, I’d collate the list and plug your bookshop at the same time.

OK, I need a distraction from election news. 📢 Book bloggers and booksellers, would you like to hear from me about brand new and brilliant @LittleBrownUK books? Say hi 👋and I'll add you to my list for proofs and news.

@hilary_mckay Call Me Alistair, by Cory Leonardo, it’s gone down a storm in the shop with my customers.

I have a book recommendation request from 10 year old girl. She wants a book 'that might really happen' ie. no magic. No 'things to be sad about' (I think she means no 'issues'). And happening 'in the now.' She loves animals. Please send good ideas.

Billy’s doing soooo well! Caught him running just now!

Thank Roger and Laura for calling in today. It was a pleasure to see you again and meet Roger. And thank you for the signed copies....@MorecambeWG @CarnforthTC @Leighton_Hall @Leighton_moss @MorecambeEden @LancasterMuseum @FOLCM1 @VisitMorecambe @VisitLakes @MBNature

@astlecw Hi, yes Neil and Sam the shop owners met him at an event and their son had his picture taken with him. I think they tried to persuade him to come and do a signing but he didn’t seem willing to commit. I’d love to have him to do an event, another local hero.......fingers crossed.

We’d love to welcome him to the bookshop for him to sign his books. So many people would love the opportunity to meet and support him! His amazing achievements make his loyalty to his family and the local area truly inspirational. 😊

We will be stocking this as soon as it’s released......hoping he may pop in to sign a few copies! 😊 @Tyson_Fury @VisitMorecambe @MorecambeWG @CarnforthTC @MBNature @MorecambeEden @ArndaleShopping @Morecambe_Hotel

THANK YOU to the person who kindly opened the gate, let our cattle out and then took the chain lock home with them. Thank you for disturbing my sleep, putting my calves in with the bulls, for making me late for work & for stealing the lock. I AM VERY GRATEFUL.😫
