EVERYONE'S A ALIEBN WHEN UR A ALIEBN TOO by JOMNY SUN “Hmm... Well I guess everybody tells me i am too small and too slow to make a diference in this world but i am makimg a diference in my own world and i hope that is enough” ― Jomny Sun , Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too Don’t let the fact that this is a very short review fool you - this is an extremely important book. This book needs to be read by anyone who suffers from depression, anxiety, or who is just struggling to find themselves and their path in life. This graphic novel is a story about an Aliebn called ‘Jomny’ who has been sent to earth to learn about Humabns. Instead he ends up learning about love, friendship and life.

And I thought ‘ooh pretty’ as I hissed like a cat at all the other clamouring booksellers and claimed it as my own.

Morrigan Crow is a cursed child, destined to die on the eve of her eleventh birthday. But her passing will not be mourned, as her curse has brought misfortune and calamity upon her family and to the general public of ...
As I mention in my little introductory ‘about me’ page, I work at one of London’s largest bookshops as a part-time bookseller. Now we all know that retail work can be a little… trying… at times. But having worked in other retail jobs before I have to say that although some aspects are the same, there is something wholly unique about working in a bookshop. From very strange characters to crazy expectations from customers; it is a world of its own. I absolutely adore working in my (not so little) bookshop, but gosh dang it, there is a list as long as Tolstoy’s War and Peace of things I wish bookshop customers would know. So here we have 10 Things your Bookseller wants you to know . 1. Please respect the books. This has to be my NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE. How you treat your own books is your own business. But if you do not own the book yet then for goodness sake please treat it with respect. I see so many customers picking up a book to read a few pages and...
