I cannot believe it has been a year since I had the crazy idea to open an online bookshop. It has been wonderful in so many ways and also challenging too. What I take from the year is how spectacularly supportive the book community are and I have a new found respect for many members of the community from teachers to writers, illustrators and much more. Not forgetting my amazing customers who want to buy the books I sell.
Book Giveaway
In honour of the community I have a few announcements to make the first of which is a giveaway, the following book bundle is available for you to win.

The Time of Green Magic – Hilary McKay
A wonderful, magical story where things keep escaping from books!
Happy Birthday! Some great reads there. I’m currently reading The Girl in Wooden Armour by Conrad Mason. It’s full of mystery and magic and is an incredible page-turner. It comes recommended by Thomas Taylor too and will blow you away x.
My most recent children’s read was ‘Crater Lake’ by Jennifer Killick – a fun, fast-paced story of friendship, alien invasion, and the scariest school trip ever!
