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.

"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
