Do you need a new hobby for summer ☀️

What better way to spend time doing something creative than starting a junk journal.
A journal to remember what you did over the summer and a way to share memories with others.

It’s officially the summer holidays! 🌞 And we have got the perfect books to keep you busy.

This one is a particular favourite of ours. 😎

Rewind this book! is filled with a variety of fun activities for the sunny days and even the rainy days.

Where will your adventures take you? 🍃

Is it really raining or is it just the Bookshop Tears? 😭

We are really going to miss everyone over at Pete's Café while they’re on their summer holidays! But we hope they have the best time enjoying a well deserved rest (and reading their books🤓).

Today is their last day open before they close for a while. Make sure you get your Pete’s Fix. 😋☕️
