A huge thank you to Jennifer Saint (and budding author Alfie of course 🐶) for joining us in Whitley Bay last night 🩷🏛️💜

We had the best evening listening to chatting to Jennifer about ‘This Immortal Heart’, Greek myths, feminism and Taylor Swift of course!

We have a limited number of signed copies available in our bookshops, DM/call us to reserve yours ✨

What a marvellous time we had with Abir Mukherjee! A man who is at the TOP of his game and takes us SOARING HEIGHTS with his incredible new book ‘Pinnacle’. He also writes chases really, really well…😂 (sorry Abir, we couldn’t resist!)

Thank you to everyone who came and joined us for a very entertaining evening at the bound. Missed out? Don’t worry! We’ve got signed copies available in each of our shops 🏙️

Yesterday we had the absolute pleasure of not one but TWO lovely authors popping by Forum to sign some copies of their books as part of our Independent Bookshop Week celebrations ✍️

You can now get signed copies of both Shotley Bridge Murders by Bobby Cussens and No Complacency by Chris Bowlby both from our website and in person - perhaps both good options for father's day gifts if you're in need of ideas 📚

Happy first day of Independent Bookshop Week 🎉

Across our three shops it's been a busy Saturday - good vibes all round! Highlight of the day being one of our fave authors Stephanie Butland joining us as guest bookseller for the afternoon over in Corbridge.

You can now find some of Stephanie's handsells reviewed in the shop, and signed copy of her new book A Bookshop Summer ☀️📚

We've got a bumper crop of events at the bound next week!

Next Wednesday we have Forum Favourite Abir Mukherjee discussing his latest twist-packed thriller The Pinnacle. Definitely unmissable for our crime loving readership!

For those who enjoy their fiction a little more on the mythological side, Jennifer Saint's latest novel This Immortal Heart is sure to send sparks flying. Come on: it's the story of Aphrodite and Ares. You know it's going to be good ❤️
