“Here One Moment” by @lianemoriarty_official is on shelves now! Who is excited to read it? Synopsis below.

f you knew when you were going to die, what would you do differently?

It all begins on a flight from Hobart to Sydney. The flight will be smooth. It will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off the plane.

But almost all of them will be changed forever.

Because on this ordinary flight, something extraordinary happens. ‘A lady’, unremarkable until she isn’t, predicts how and when many of the passengers are going to die. For some, death is far in the future; for others, it is very close.

A brilliantly constructed story that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. Liane Moriarty is a modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery and asking profound, universal questions.

Ollie is showing off our Leather Satchel Tote Bag @bookworksgifts

Inspired by our canvas version, the Leather tote can be handheld or swung over the shoulder using the long straps. We’ve added a removable shoulder “pad” to the long straps for extra comfort. Due to the weight of the leather and the way it is sewn, this sturdy bag will maintain its shape over time and the leather will darken beautifully as it worn.

- Converts from handheld to shoulder with detachable leather handles
- Seams and bucket are reinforced with hand-applied copper rivets
- One interior pocket and one exterior pocket
- Leather will patina over time with exposure to the sun and the oils in your skin
- All edges are filed and burnished
- Handmade in USA
