As London bookstores reopen, eager readers return
Slater said she was overjoyed to be back and had prepared especially: There was a vase of flowers on a table by the entrance, and a huge bottle of hand sanitiser on the counter.

I thought bookstores in my town had re-opened. I went to one, and had fun browsing around. Everyone wore masks, of course, but still, it was nice to have that human contact and human exchange.
