Thought for the day:
“There are increasingly few people working in the retail environment who can recommend books or genres for someone walking in off the street. L.A [Literary Angels] is one way round this.”

We all know that librarians do this well, so wouldn’t it be great if librarians became Literary Angels? And don’t you love the name?

I’d love to read your views in the comments.
