Wrapped mystery proofs available with each purchase this week for #IndieBookshopWeek!

Today is the start of #IndieBookshopWeek, so why not call by your nearest indie bookshop, admire their bunting and help them unburden their bookshelves?

Our new window display by the incredibly talented author and illustrator Leonie Lord. It's based on her book Grotti, about a cute and snotty baby monster 🌿🐌

Which one would you pick?

Today we have a recommendation for you from Laura. This one is "Blue Sisters" by Coco Mellors, the story of three surviving sisters after the loss of the fourth sister. For fans of "Little Women".

Happy reading!
