Twilight
Books.

An evening well spent begins with a book.

Beyond the ivy-clad black-and-red frontage, lamplight catches the shelves and a comfortable chair waits between the stories.

A WORD FROM THE BOOKSELLER

Do come in.

“Looking for something particular? How sensible. Looking for absolutely nothing and hoping to be distracted? Even better.

“There’s a chair if you’d like one. I can recommend a book, offer a second opinion, or pretend not to notice that you’ve spent twenty minutes admiring the same shelf. We all have our little pleasures.

“Take your time. A good story rarely objects to being kept company.”

Daniel Blackwood

HANDWRITTEN RECOMMENDATIONS

From Daniel’s shelves.

Three imaginary titles and a few words from your bookseller. Which would tempt you to stay a little longer?

FOR A LITTLE COMFORT

The House That Kept the Light On

“For anyone who has ever taken the long way home. Best read somewhere comfortable, with no intention of getting up.”

D. B.

FOR A LITTLE MISCHIEF

A Most Inconvenient Haunting

“A fine choice if you enjoy a mystery and appreciate that even the most dramatic entrance can be ruined by poor timing.”

D. B.

FOR THE GARDEN-MINDED

The Botanist’s Unreasonable Garden

“A spirited little book. I would advise against reading the more ambitious passages aloud beside your flower beds.”

D. B.

These imaginary books, shelf cards and Daniel’s welcome are playful website extras, rather than excerpts from the novels or books available to buy.

ONE BOOK. SEVERAL OPINIONS.

An evening with the book club.

Evelyn Greene organises the town’s monthly book club, with Daniel hosting at Twilight Books after sunset. Expect lively conversation, enthusiastic opinions and a very firm interest in whether everyone has finished the book.

A small request from Evelyn

“Please allow everyone to take their seats before announcing that you guessed the ending. Some of us would like the chance to be surprised.”

Reading choices and meeting notices will appear on the community board when announced.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE WINDOW

Readings, gatherings & a little conversation.

The community board is the place to look for new bookshop notices and future reading events. There are no additional readings or dates announced here yet.
