I am so pleased I did, as it is a very light entertaining story, especially after all the murder ones I read.

BIGGEST BOOK SWAP AT SUNNY SANDS IN FOLKESTONE, UK

FOLKESTONE IS A LIBRARY What an afternoon it was yesterday, Saturday the 28th March 2026. Folkestone attempted to get into the Guinness Book of Records for holding the biggest BOOK SWAP. I guess there must have been over 2,000 people who attended this brilliant event.
