R - Let's do a really joyful display, one that makes us feel better about the world since there's so much bleakness.

E - Wait, how did we end up with a monster theme?

R - Are we celebrating fictional monsters being better than real life ones?

Yes. Yes we are.

Love Halloween is nearly here! Feel like celebrating love with your friends, family or special smoochy person? We couldn't fit all our just right books into our display so they're spread throughout the store - just ask for help. A special shout out to Anna Walker's Between - it would make a beautiful present from one grown up to another, celebrating the connections that emerge from liminal spaces.

We love love!

One of the advantages of an overloaded brain losing its nouns, is that we gain new phrases. We hereby declare 14th February "Love Halloween".

We're celebrating love between friends. Come in store and slip us a little note about what you appreciate about your friend and earn them a Certificate For Being a Great Friend, courtesy of The Day the Crayons Made Friends. Supplies limited.

What books do you recommend that celebrate friendship?

Only something as magical as Going Home could bring out daffodils in the middle of summer! Yes, the book is in store and it looks even better than we expected... and our expectations were high!

Come along on Sunday at 11am to be part of this very special event. Imagine how cool it will be for your kids to say in years to come, "Going Home? Of course I know it. I was there at the launch, I still have my signed copy."

Thanks to people who have RSVPd and have reserved their copies.

In a brain glitch moment we panicked that we didn't have stock for this amazing book launches coming up... then the distributor calmly told us that the book hasn't been released yet. IT'S A LAUNCH! Which means it will arrive in store just in time for our celebration of this gorgeous book by local legend Simon Howe. So you can be one of the first to read this beautiful story and bask in its delightful illustrations. Come along Sunday 1st Feb at 11am to meet Simon and enjoy some art activities. RSVP to reserve your copy of the book.
