As Amazon ie lands, a reminder that you can enjoy the convenience of online shopping & still support small local business.

Do local shops have a website? Are there small online businesses based in your area? There’s enormous local creativity within every community, but it needs your support.

It’s World Book Day!

And since we just can’t let that go by without some sort of treat for our friends and followers, we’re adding a free bonus book to every gift box ordered today. 📚📚🎁

Since it’s #WorldBookDay tomorrow, we’re curious - what was your favourite childhood read?

For me, Anne of Green Gables and The Dark Is Rising were ones I read so many times, I’ve lost count!

Anybody else wide awake and wondering if the roof will still be on this time tomorrow?

I'd happily live in a period of history that no-one studies in the future because not much happened and it was really dull. I am sick of living in unprecedented times.

Seem to have got a lot of new followers overnight - are you sure you’re in the right place?

We’re a small County Down business selling book subscriptions and gifts for book-lovers. We mostly post bookish things & random pet pics so if that sounds like your cup of tea, hello & welcome. 👋

Read this one yet? It's an incredibly powerful story that blends mystery and folklore with sharp social commentary about poverty, class and prejudice.

It would be awfully appreciated if authors whose work I have enjoyed at some time or another could stop turning out to be truly horrendous people.

What are the 'horror classics'? Having chatted about this briefly yesterday I've been pondering what might constitute the outline of a 'canon' – essential novels and stories that help us appreciate and understand the genre. So, here's a first take, after a couple of disclaimers. 👇
