We are thrilled to welcome Rozie Kelly to the shop for the launch of her debut novel KINGFISHER. Rozie will be in conversation with Adam Farrer, author of COLD FISH SOUP and BROKEN BISCUITS. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: When a creative writing academic becomes infatuated with his colleague - the poet - it is not long before it begins to threaten his relationship with his partner, Michael. Michael is beautiful. Michael is safe. But the poet is everything he isn't; she has everything he wants. While he writes about steel and sex, she dreams about the movements of swallows. While he tends to his budding career, she writes from her big, white house in the woods. As he slips between his old life and this new one, his fixation grows into something more powerful. The poet, his Kingfisher, is his sole focus. He is hypnotised. But when simultaneous illnesses threaten to destroy the precarious reality he clings to, he's forced to question what he can and cannot take from someone. This is a novel about grief, power and desire - and the tangles in between that make up a life. About the author: Rozie Kelly is a prose writer based in West Yorkshire. After reading English Literature and Creative Writing she moved to Hebden Bridge, where she works for the Arvon Foundation, hosting creative writing courses. She was shortlisted for the PFD Queer Fiction Prize 2023 and is one of the eight participants in the inaugural Prototype Development Programme, which offers extended support and career development to emerging writers and artists. She won the 2024 NorthBound Book Award for Kingfisher, her debut novel. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting. You can follow us on Eventbrite and social media (@BlackwellsMCR) to keep up to date on upcoming events.

珍珍吖头

算是牛津大學歷史最悠久的書店，外觀不起眼而裏面卻十分寬敞，布置也很有英倫范兒，當然最熱門的就是《哈利波特》系列、牛津古英語教授約翰&middot;托爾金的《指環王》系列、牛津教授C.S劉易斯的《納尼亞傳奇》

嘆息橋（英國牛津大學）正式名稱為赫特福德（Hertford）橋，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，嘆息橋始建於1913年（1914年完工），它跨過新學院路連接了赫特福德學院的新舊兩個部分，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，由托馬斯傑克遜爵士（Sir TomasJackson）設計，由於此橋形似意大利威尼斯的嘆息橋故被稱為嘆息橋。跟着旅遊團來到牛津大學，只能夠走馬觀花看了一下。

牛津大學博多利圖書館(Bodleian Library - University of Oxford)是牛津大學的總圖書館，是歐洲最古老的圖書館之一（1602年開放），也是英國規模僅次於大英圖書館的第二大圖書館。這裡是英國的6個法定圖書館之一。所有的牛津出版品在出版時都會自動送一份到此珍藏。圖書館下設有眾多分館，其中Radcliffe Camera分館己經成為牛津大學的重要地標，有很多圖書在這裡存放，不是牛津大學的學生也可入內参觀。博多利圖書館由一組不同歷史時期、不同風格的建築群構成，據說各樓之間有地下通道連接。
