We’re back with something a little different this week: an interview with the lovely owner behind One More Chapter, an independent bookshop doing brilliant things in the community.

Follow us on Instagram @LoungingWithBooks to join the chat and share your dream bookshop ideas. And don’t worry, our usual reviews and reading updates will be back next time — but for now, settle in for a peek behind the counter at One More Chapter.

To learn more about One More Chapter, follow them on Instagram or visit their website.
