Fantastic .. 👏
You so deserve this 💕
We love you and will be back!
You and your beautiful shop will be back soon and have no doubt, we supported by your lovely customers. Truely magical place for young, inquisitive and aspirational minds. Hope you ok 📖xx
Octavia, I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ve clearly been supporting everyone so well. Sending you lots of love. Happy reading. Xxx
We just logged on to your site and seen your message. We are very sorry to read this and hope you can ride out the storm. We will be back when you are and than you for your enduring enthusiasm for literature, particularly children’s. Meanwhile our boy wants to read Norman the Norman and the Really Small Duchess yet again; we only bought it two weeks ago...
Sorry to hear that Octavia, we will be back in when this is all over X
Please take care too and we'll see you soon ☺️
Awww this is so sad...we promise to keep doing an order from a distance when the service resumes and we look forward to visiting late summer 💪🤞 in the meantime take care xxx
Oh no, what a great shame – placing an order with you was on my list for this afternoon. Please let us know if you consider doing local orders at any point, mine were for two Cirencester addresses.
Is there any way we can purchase gift cards/vouchers for your store to spend when this is all over? Would that help keep you going?
So sorry to hear this. Can I offer my services as a local bike courier? Surely food for the mind is up there as a “necessity” with food for the body...
So sad sorry to hear that but we will be back to support you Stay safe Kids still have the supply we got before you closed so will keep reading 🌈💕📚📙 Sx
We won't forget you Octavia, we are looking forward to paying you a vist once this is all over
I'm so sorry to hear this 😐 I'd literally contacted my Grandaughter today to see which book she wanted for Zaraleigh for Easter 🐤😔 Look forward to seeing you when this is all over. Keep safe xxx
We would buy gift vouchers too. You’re a big part of our lives in the holidays and we love what you do, wishing you all the love in the world x
We'll definitely be back. We love you book shop and always pop in when we're in Cirencester. I have a little book worm who is saving his birthday money to come and spend it with you once this is all over x
There is no way my children will let me forget the wonderful shop that is Octavias! We will be back with several months worth of book requests when this is all over. Already looking forward to it
What a shame we were looking forward to getting in touch, but we will be back. Stay safe x
Oh that's such a shame. Isla got her vouchers today for her birthday and was looking forward to a phone book spa to keep her ticking over until she can come into the shop. X
Oh Octavia 😔 Can you start your own youtube storytime? Build up some sort of following online in the meantime? I bet all of your lovely authors, celebs and customers will promote it? Have a link to buy gift vouchers for the time being? xxx
So sorry to read this Octavia. We will be back in as soon as we can buying our books from your fantastic little book shop. Cheryl & family x
Love the reading a story idea . We will support you on your return!! X
Such a shame! Amazon will never steal What you offer 🧚♀️ 📚
Hopefully we can all get back to a small measure of normal quite soon 🤞🏻and new books to read in the summer holidays. X
We’ll be there when all this is over
Sending love Octavia, we"ll certainly be back as soon as this is over xx
I love this book, makes me cry every time though!
Can’t get through that book without crying. So lovely. Take care! Xx
I love this story! 😁
I love this book! Hope you’re doing ok xx
I can't get through this book at the best of times - I think the kind granny would break me now! 😭
Do you have any isadora moon books please ?
Agree with everyone. It makes me cry every time.
My favourite story ever!
Lovely idea keep going 🌈
Yah!!! ❤️
Would love some advice and suggestions on books for upcoming learning. Can I email you? Not sure how far you are happy to deliver- in minchinhampton but in isolation right now!! 💚
Shared - will be using your delivery soon once I get my head around the home school plan 😱
Octavia for your adult fiction happy to help with a book list for adults in these times - Claire MA English lit
Shared x We will pop in for a book today. 📖❤️
Shared onto Gardiner Haskins Cirencester page for you. Good luck today 🤞
Hi Octavia I’m wondering if you would deliver to Cricklade,I’m wondering if you could give me a list of books for a 4yr girl to keep her going through these tuff times. Many thanks in advance. 💕

Of course, books can be a balm in these terrifying times—but as the surge in sales of plague-related literature reveals, sometimes all we want to read are books that speak directly to our terrifyin...Brilliant. Loved Pride and Prejudice
Amazing we will definitely be after new books to keep us entertained ❤️
I need some books for Jack, he hasn't come home with any reading books and he's in reception. What would you recommend to keep his reading skills up xx
Send me an email on Monday and I’ll send some ideas 😊😊
Octavia what time is the shop open tomorrow ?
Amazing x
The Giffords book is gorgeous. I've already got a lot of pages marked ready for cooking up a feast!
Aw I loved Crawdads! Great story x
I totally appreciate that decision. Hopefully things will be back on track for the next meeting🤞
Slightly different but our adult book group took to using WhatsApp to include me as I couldn't make it due to a broken elbow and rib - it was fantastic fun - could you try a skype or something similar?
I have a 8year old that loves dog man if you have any of those?? I know she has a few already!
We want to keep this store afloat during this tumultuous time. This is a great idea! We will need some recommendation for a newly turned one year old who is full of beans!
Brilliant bookshop - run by a good-hearted lady
You are amazing. The Guest List is currently keeping me sane!!!
Love you! X
How lovely 😊

When I was a school librarian back in 2003, it was one of their favourites. Flew off the shelves! 😃
We teach ‘Noughts and Crosses’ to Year 8. It is definitely one of my desert island books. Beautifully written and very relevant.
