Celebrating Independent Bookshop Week

Virginia Evans picks her favourite indie bookshop

I'll never forget walking into BookBar in Chelsea the night of my event there. The lights were dim, and the crowd was buzzing. I was greeted with such enthusiasm. What a delight! My event with Chrissy was fun, lively, and interesting, and I had the most wonderful time chatting with readers afterward. I'll never forget that night, the way it felt I was having my sort of London debut! For this reason, BookBar will always have a special place in my heart.
