Okay her last story is proving that this is getting ridiculous that she’s physically incapable of referencing to any bookshop by name EXCEPT for Waterstones, even the tote bag was moving so if the name was on there it wouldn’t exactly be the greatest visibility, but wait overachiever that Ruby is she went one step further and put her bags in a Bird and Blend Tea tote bag so no hope there
I’ve said this before but (I work in publishing) and this is the week that we’ve seen an indie bookshop literally have to crowdfund for their continued existence, independent bookshops could easily benefit from Ruby’s support even just a name drop (or anything actually well thought through like a blog as of vlogging a different independent bookshop or library every day, especially as she can get to London fairly easily, but we won’t place our expectations too high) but she seems to have made it some twisted personal mission to literally never mention any by name, even when she made a big deal of using Hive because the books came from indies she didn’t name drop any
