Mostly Booklovers Event
Oxford Writers Group Evening
On Thursday July 9 at 7.30pm, local writers will host an evening discussion about what it means to be an Oxford writer - with a chance to discover new talent on your doorstep.

Led by Mary Cavanagh, who has published two novels and a guide to marketing your books, the evening will give readers, newly published writers, writing hopefuls and others the chance to find out more about all the latest and best about Oxfordshire writing today.

This is the first time Mostly Books has hosted an evening that invites anyone writing, or wanting to write in Oxfordshire to take part. If you've got a book - or are self-published, or belong to a writing group - you are welcome to bring along your book with you or just join in the discussion.

Tickets are £3 and include wine. The event is free to Mostly Booklovers Members. Reserve tickets by calling 01235 525880 or email books@mostly-books.co.uk. For those who write - or want to - come along for a chance to meet and network with local writers.

Author Event
"Paws Under the Table"
with Helen Peacocke

On Monday July 13 at 7.30pm veteran Oxford Times journalist Helen Peacocke will be at Mostly Books to recommend the very best local walks - centred on the finest pubs that are also dog-friendly.

Helen visited just about every pub in Oxfordshire in her years writing a column in the Oxford Times and has now put her unique perspective into Paws Under the Table - accompanied by the thoughts of her border collie, Pythius-Peacocke, who has been by her side on many a review quest.

It's a long overdue walking book. In taking the three best things about country walks - an interesting walk, with a dog, that centres on a characterful and welcoming pub - there are enough suggestions in the 40 walks recommended to keep even the most ardent rambler going throughout the summer.

Paws Under the Table is also well-researched, containing historical snippets along the way, as well as photos and sketches. With this much motivation to put on a pair of good walking shoes and take a country ramble, Helen is also passionate that we use our country pubs - or lose them. And what better way to enjoy them or better way to work up a thirst?

If you've got a walk you want to share, or if you want to get a signed copy for a doggie friend, join us at Mostly Books on Monday, July 13th. at 7.30pm. Tickets £3, including wine. To reserve tickets, phone 01235 525880or email books@mostly-books.co.uk
