Jenny Colgan in your inbox

There is an honourable tradition of serialisation in the publishing of some of our most enduring novels. The Counte of Monte Cristo, Anna Karenina, Heart of Darkness, And Then There Were None and In Cold Blood were all published first as a serial, with people waiting with bated breath for the next instalment. Famously, American Dickens fans nearly rioted in New York Harbour to get their hands on the latest part of 'The Old Curiosity Shop.'

This year, you too can embrace the joy of anticipation. Sign up for our special Book Week Scotland newsletter and on each day of the week (from Monday 18 November to Sunday 24 November) at 8am you will receive an instalment from an exclusive new Jenny Colgan short story, called 'The Librarian'.

About 'The Librarian'

John-Joseph finds being a librarian – and a quiet one, even for librarians – suits him, when he doesn't like putting himself forward, and has his ageing father to look after. He can lose himself in books, after all. That's before Agnieska Hunter turns up, and he falls head over trainers. But the heroes of the romance novels she loves are all cowboys, vampires and dragon tamers – he could never live up to them, could he?
