Beautiful Black Jack Street in the blizzard. The bookshop is open, the heaters are on and we’re feeling festive despite the storm. We will be closing at the normal time of 5.00pm, due to the cancelled Christmas market 💫🎄❄️⛄️ ... See MoreSee Less

Great photos

Looking so festive 🤩

Time for my annual Black Friday rant or maybe this time I’ll just say this….

PLEASE SHOP LOCAL!

We need it more than ever, after such tricky trading times in the pandemic.
Shopping online will not save the high street. The high street that brings the real Christmas magic and that loves you and looks after you throughout the year.
Empty your Amazon basket and go to your local shops, browse properly, get advice, enjoy the atmosphere and stop for a cosy coffee in a cool cafe.
We will be open later tomorrow to celebrate the Cirencester Christmas lights and market.
9.00am to 6.00pm 🎄💕💫🎄💕 ... See MoreSee Less

I do love amazon, my son works there but I would also love to shop on high street in Cirencester where I went with my mum and my auntie Jean when mum took me to her beautiful country EnglAnd. Love little book shops and cozy cafes and Christmas lights and magic!

How true. You wouldn’t find a magical window like this with ski-ing moomins on Amazon. This said, local book stores please stock local authors as our publishers often use Amazon even if we don’t want them to!

Moooooomins😍😍😍

❤️❤️❤️

Well said!!

Today is super Thursday in the book world. All the big titles are out ready for Christmas. However, I have found some exquisite hidden gems that deserve some serious promoting too. I am in love with Yuval Zommer’s enchanting imaginings of the Northern Lights and Emily Sutton’s illustrations in Everyone Sang:A Poem for Every Feeling. Of course there will be lots more Christmas books to come but for now let’s take a moment to enjoy the beauty of October and the changing of the seasons and the magic of books by the fire and Halloween. 💫🍂🍁🕸📚#yuvalzommer #emilysuttonillustration @yuvalzommer @emilysuttonartist #beautifulbooks #bigbooks #greatgifts #newbooks #october #halloween #firesidereading #shoplocal #cirencestershopping #cotswoldlife ...
