Welcome to our new book blog “EdBucks” (like Starbucks, but with more books. Oh, and we pay our taxes too).

This week it’s International Women’s Day (8th March) so we’re looking at Inspiring People, with biographies of people who have made a difference in the world, from Desmond Tutu to Waris Dirie.
We’ll also have author interviews, our favourite bookshops and places to read, literary events and regular updates with the latest news from Yorkshire-based author Edward Cooke. You can follow his GoodReads page here.
