Run Your Own Book Shop? In Scotland? You’ve Got To Be Kidding!

The Open Book, Wigtown, Scotland

Attention Book Lovers!! You’re never going to believe this!

You’ve heard of Airbnb. Well have you ever heard of an Airbnb bookshop? Probably not, because this is pretty remote, and very rare!

The bookshop, located in Wigtown, Scotland, rents the bookstore and the flat upstairs for anyone who wants a charming, relaxing, vacation. And of course, you would most likely be a book lover to the max!

Here’s a blog entry from an actual guest, who fills in the details. Click HERE

Here’s a quote from his journal of how he was greeted by the owner:

“Just jot down the type of book you sell so we can restock properly. That’s it.” He hands me the keys. “We say to guests the bookshop is theirs to run, and can be open and closed as they see fit. Though the more it’s open the better it is for the festival.”

I would be absolutely giddy. This may be added to my bucket list!

How about you?

My newest release, Brought To You By The Color Drab, is a story of a teen who had many obstacles to overcome. But comes out a winner! You can read the first two chapters right here. Just click below.

[By the way, Brought To You By The Color Drab, is beginning to show up on the shelves of libraries around the country. Is it in yours? If not, be sure to connect with your librarian and request it. They listen to their patrons!]

Teens on the Scene — Exciting Novels for Reluctant Teen Readers

Clean Teen Reads

The Clean Teen Reads site is all about teens, books, stories, and of course, reading. The reason some teens shy away from reading as a pastime may not be because they don’t want to, but that reading is such a struggle for them. They’re reluctant teen readers.

In light of that fact, here’s an article that lists a number of well-written, captivating stories/novels written in what’s known as the hi/lo style. They’re designed for an easier read.

Check out the list by clicking HERE.

If you’re a teen who struggles with reading, or you know of a teen who struggles with reading, you might want to check out this list. Let’s all be active in going the extra mile to get the right books into the hands of teens who need them — the reluctant teen readers!

Of course, I was thrilled that my hero, my hometown author, S.E. Hinton’s famous novel, The Ousiders, is included in the list.
