My girls got book vouchers for Christmas. Straight away they said "we'll have to go to Octavia's" 😍 Don't worry though, they have plenty of books to keep them going well past January! X
Take good care and well done for getting through 2020! Xxx
Best bookshop ever...xx
Millie Elias this where we found your “Luna “book about a little bear cub 💋
Can I also order two books please...Big Week by James Holland and Italy's Sorrow, also by James Holland. Thanks x
Welcome back to the Best Book Shop.x
🥰
Hooray!!!
Hurray! 🎉🎉🎉
One of my favorites and I’ve not yet been there!
Yay will be in very very soon with my list x
Argh - I have been so pants and not been able to get into town and I need some vouchers 😬. 😭😭
Given that supermarkets wiil still be able to sell books, as can W H Smith, it makes no sense to shut wonderful bookshops such as yours. Boo to Boris, but we will be sure to meet again on the other side.
I’ll be visiting before you close. would much rather buy from you
Such a shame as I think book shops are essential in times like these x x
Thinking of you hard times but will come to buy for Christmas 🎄
See you on the other side with a long wish list of books. Xxx
Now is the time to buy those book tokens from Octavia as stocking fillers. I shall be buying mine on Tuesday for sure - hopefully getting a marshmallow too!
Oh Dear, I wish you every luck in the world! Which moron says book stores are not essential? Be brave and stay safe!
We’ll definitely be back for Christmas shopping for yet more Tintin and pony books!! Hang in there and look after yourself xx
Sad times, we will be back for Xmas shopping. Stay safe
Books are always essential my end
All love to you Octavia xxxx see you soon xx
That's why we visited today
Thinking of u and we will be back 👌👍 xxx
Would have thought bookshops could be classed as essential!
Are you going to link with bookshop.org ?
Good luck Octavia x
Good luck Octavia 🤞🏻

So sad for you 😢
My poem for Halloween The Spectre As you step inside the building,there's a chillness in the air The dark passages of time,makes you feel the stand up hair As you walk among the shadows, like the corners of your mind As you walk along a dusty alley, not knowing what you'll find The candle throws strange pictures, upon the dark bare wall And you walk along just creeping, taking care so as not to fall There are noises all about you, creaks and groans they fill the space With each step as you go upwards, as you climb the old staircase Then a ghostly spectre is before you, as your eyes stare up in fear And your heart beats oh so fast, there's a booming in your ear You cannot look away, you are rooted to the spot The blood flows pulsing through your veins, as you sweat and feel so hot The ghostly apparition turns its head to look at you And the empty ghoulish eyes fill you with horror through and through The mouth is gaping open, you can see right in it's soul The horror that awaits you, if you follow its its goal The skeletal finger points,and beckons you to its grisly side You feel the pull to go but you want to run and hide Suddenly a bell tolls and the spell on you breaks free And the ghostly scene disappears, so you can no more see It's evil presence has gone all is calm once more And sunlight shines through the opening of the door You leave this haunted dwelling, vowing never to return And the stories of this place, you are now able to confirm As you leave this cursed building, your compelled to look and stare There's a figure in the window, daring you to go back there A memory you take with you, a story you can tell Of a ghostly apparition who almost had you in its spell Now once more the house stands empty, it's secrets kept deep within Until another unsuspecting victim chances to open the scraping door, and step right in Copyright Rosalyn English 28.9.14 Sent from my iPhone

That is such a clever twist on book cover designs for the classics. It is very eye catching and the covers bring them back to the forefront of the great classics that they are. Brilliant! ❤️
These are just amazing! I want them all too! 💕
Stunning ❤️ I know what I'll be buying next time!

Polly Samson this was my review 😊
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! 👏🏻
Can’t wait to see you too. We have missed your fantastic book shop 😘
The best bookshop ever! 💕💕💕
Lovely to see you both again Good luck
Such a lovely bookshop
Looks wonderful 🤩 xx
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
