Our first event of the New Year welcomes Joanna Trollope talking about her latest book The Soldier's Wife. Does marrying a soldier mean marrying the Army?
This is a topical subject which resonates locally with Catterick Garrison on our doorstep, so we are delighted that The WAGS Choir will be joining us on Thursday 16th February in the Richmond School Sixth Form Centre. The evening starts at 7.30pm and tickets are now on sale at £5 in advance from the shop, £6 on the door. We will post them out if you ring us and pay with a credit/debit card. |

Happy New Year to all our readers!
Just to let you know that we currently have a 20% sale off all books, CDs cards and gifts in stock.
Once they're gone, they're gone!
The sale will probably last for a couple of weeks or until the empty shelves become embarrassing! |

We are delighted to have been featured in the Guardian to promote the benefits of independent bookshops in general and the arrival of Hive in particular.
Anne participated in a webchat on 25 November - click on the photo to see the results.
And there she was again in the Saturday magazine on 3 December - our very own celeb!

We participated in the first ever National Reading Group Day by holding an afternoon tea party with two lovely authors to keep us entertained. I can't do better summing up the event than Emma Craigie, one of the authors, in her blog at http://emmacraigie.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/a-short-tour-of-north-yorkshire/If you haven't read Emma's book Chocolate Cake with Hitler, you really should, and if you are looking for a good holiday read, Julia Stagg's L'Auberge is a lovely portrait of life in Southern France. Both are available from all good bookshops, and modesty prevents us from naming one in particular .... |

We are excited about this new venture, so please give it a try, and don't forget to select us as your favourite bookshop! We hope, of course, that you will continue to visit the shop and browse our latest selections. So visit hive now and let us know what you think. |
