New and upcoming highlights |

Dear Goldsboro Friends,
June 19th - 26th is Independent Bookshop Week in the UK, and celebrates independent bookshops across the UK and Ireland. We've been looking forward to this week for a number of reasons - it's the first time our Brighton shop can join in the fun, and being able to have customers in both shops always makes the week more enjoyable. For those of you who can't make it to London and Brighton, we have a week long schedule of events that will be happening on our social media channels - so if you don't already follow us on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, there's no better time to start. You can find links to all three feeds at the bottom of this newsletter.
Finally, I wanted to take this independent bookshop week to thank you all for your support. This year, perhaps more than ever, Goldsboro Books has a great deal to be thankful for, and it's all down to you, our fantastic customers. Thank you for choosing to support a small independent bookshop like us - it makes all the difference in the world, and we cannot overstate how grateful we are for each and every one of you.

Everyone Is Still Alive
by Carly Rentzenbrink
Signed First Edition
It is summer on Magnolia Road when Juliet moves into her late mother's house with her husband Liam and their young son, Charlie. Preoccupied by guilt, grief and the juggle of working motherhood, she can't imagine finding time to get to know the neighbouring families, let alone fitting in with them. But for Liam, a writer, the morning coffees and after-school gatherings soon reveal the secret struggles, fears and rivalries playing out behind closed doors - all of which are going straight into his new novel....

Wild Pets
by Amber Meadland
Signed First Edition
Wild Pets follows Iris, Ezra and Nance in the years after university. They fall in and out of bed with each other, reread The Art of War, grieve the closing of Fabric and write book proposals on the history of salt, while submerging their nights in drink and drugs. Confronting adulthood with high wit and low behaviour against contemporary political and social turmoil, these young men and women seem to have everything going for them. So why are they still swimming desperately against the tide?

The Dictator's Muse

Nothing
by Daniel O'Connor
Signed & First Edition
He can remember nothing of the life he wakes up to. Not the job in insurance in an office by the motorway. Not the kids, who seem to steal bits of his face and wear them better.
And there is something he can tell no one: that he can imagine things out of existence. That he only has to imagine a brick and it vanishes, that he only has to picture the catastrophes threatening his children and they are safe - nothing will happen to them.
