Gloom at Monty Lit Fest on hearing Dolly Parton has died. Her Imagination Library has really mattered 🥹 (As has her all-round fabulousness)

Siawns i glywed mwy gan un o'n awduron. Mae Daf Dafis yn ôl ac yn gwynebu effeithiau parti plu 🤔

Dewch i dreulio bore Sul yng nghwmni Heledd Cynwal.

While we're still enjoying the Monty Lit Fest high, it's a good time to remind everyone that it's Independent Bookshop Week.

While we enjoy the good offices of the Bookshop, Montgomery and Booka Bookshop at the Lit Fest, Montgomeryshire itself does pretty well for indy bookshops.

As well as Barry Lord and Richard Eaves (pictured), we have.The Great Oak Bookshop in Llanidloes; Hardy's Bookstore in Welshpool; and Literary Cat Books, , and in Machynlleth.
