Thank goodness you are only reading and not ‘doing a Johnson’! Pleased it can take you there.
Do you stock it in Octavia’s?
It will be great to see you back open. Blackjack Street is beginning to return to a new normal with Jack's and the Candy Man open too.
So exited to come to Cirencester! 👏🏻

The best bookshop ever! 💕💕💕
Lovely to see you both again Good luck

So glad I could make it to your bookshop on Wednesday afternoon and actually order a long awaited book. The interior looks brilliant and the health/hygiene measures are really well thought through, even down to the one-way system. Blackjack Street is beginning to come alive again.
So exciting!! Can’t wait to pop in with Layla x
Cannot wait for you to reopen we've missed coming in to choose beautiful books!
Octavia's Bookshop I’ve sent you a message. ☺️
My youngest has been doing this with his godparents, they’ve read Ice Monster and almost through The Beast of Buckingham Palace
I've also heard of grandparents teaching a lesson a day/week to children about subjects they are interested in too. Reading stories together in this way is so lovely!!
Nice mug Octavia and I watched I am Castle the other night on your recommendation, good stuff, was delighted to find a young Henry Cavill, yum dom dom!
This is exciting! How do we look up what’s available please?
What are your top 5 lockdown reads Octavia?

Please take care too and we'll see you soon ☺️
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
Oh so sorry to hear that, we will definitely be back and save our money to buy a good collection of books. My little chum is missing you and your beautiful shop and books!xx
We love you and will be back!
Sorry to hear that Octavia, we will be back in when this is all over X
Octavia, I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ve clearly been supporting everyone so well. Sending you lots of love. Happy reading. Xxx
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
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
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...
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
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
Hopefully we can all get back to a small measure of normal quite soon 🤞🏻and new books to read in the summer holidays. X
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?
What a shame we were looking forward to getting in touch, but we will be back. Stay safe 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
Hang in there. The world needs quality indy bookshops, now more than ever! X
Oh no! I was just about to contact you for Fred's birthday treat. We will be back as soon as you open up again. Stay well.
We will definitely be back in when life gets back to normal 💕
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
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 this is so sad, we received Jack's books this morning and he was over the moon with them. Stay safe and we will see you once this is over xx
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.
Have you thought about doing a storytime live on Facebook? Just to keep you in people's minds? X
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...
Could you deliver yourself in the area?
Do you have any isadora moon books please ?
Can’t get through that book without crying. So lovely. Take care! Xx
I love this book, makes me cry every time though!
I love this book! Hope you’re doing ok xx
I love this story! 😁
I can't get through this book at the best of times - I think the kind granny would break me now! 😭
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
Send me an email on Monday and I’ll send some ideas 😊😊
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
Amazing we will definitely be after new books to keep us entertained ❤️
Octavia what time is the shop open tomorrow ?
Amazing x
Aw I loved Crawdads! Great story x
The Giffords book is gorgeous. I've already got a lot of pages marked ready for cooking up a feast!
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 totally appreciate that decision. Hopefully things will be back on track for the next meeting🤞
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!!!
I have a 8year old that loves dog man if you have any of those?? I know she has a few already!
Love you! X
How lovely 😊
Love x

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.
