This Book Made Me Think of You(100)

A big thank-you to all the booksellers, librarians, and book reviewers who have recommended my books over the years and have also given me brilliant reading recommendations. The work you do is so important. I hope you know how appreciated you are by readers and authors alike. Given this book is a celebration of bookshops, a special shout-out to my local bookshop Hunting Raven and to Tina and the team there for championing my books and for creating a space that always feels so welcoming.

I couldn’t end this without thanking the two people to whom this book is dedicated. To Fred Cutting and Sally Lane, who both loved books and, to my great fortune, loved me: Thank you. I miss you both immensely.
