The Faringdon Bookshop

Welcome to The Faringdon Online Bookshop 

 

My name is Claire Meadows. I'm based in Faringdon, Oxfordshire and have loved reading my whole life. Nothing beats a new pile of books. If you think like me, take a look at the books in my store. There's a real mix because I'm an omnivorous reader though at the moment, my favourite fiction is thrillers. In non-fiction I love political books, and reading about old Hollywood - quite a mix I know. 

 

Have fun, and let me know if there's anything you think I should stock.
