COMPETITION TIME!
Lauren St John has an amazing new adventure book out set on the sea. It is the perfect summer read.
To celebrate we are launching a competition with Lauren St John, for everyone who buys a copy to enter their name into a draw, to win an exclusive Wave Riders mug or beach towel (the winners names will be drawn at the end of July)
Wave Riders-
A storm is coming. What will it take to survive? An exciting adventure set at sea, from the bestselling author of the Laura Marlin Mysteries, Kat Wolfe Investigates and my favourite book the White Giraffe. Twins Jess and Jude Carter live a dream life sailing from one exotic destination to the next with their guardian, Gabriel.
But after Gabe vanishes and a storm smashes up their lives, they're left penniless and alone. When a wealthy, glamorous family offer them a home, everybody tells them they're the luckiest children in the world. But the Blakeneys' stately mansion is full of secrets - secrets that seem entangled with the twins' own fate.
As they race to uncover the truth, Jess and Jude must confront their deepest fears. How do you solve a mystery when that mystery is you? Wave Riders from Lauren St John is an exciting and compelling middle-grade tale of sailing, family and identity. ... See MoreSee Less

Big thanks to Heart ♥️ radio who just interviewed me about the lockdown resurgence of reading. Great questions that I could answer with real enthusiasm, including in terms of mental health and escapism through reading. They asked if I could give the listeners a final message and it was...

“Keep calm and carry on, stay home and stay safe and if you can, curl up on the sofa with a blanket and a book!” 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Love your window displays 🌈

For the safety of family and friends, my wonderful booksellers and loyal customers, I have decided to keep the shop closed for January. We had a fantastic festive period but the current covid updates would suggest it is safer for us to stay at home if possible. Stay home, stay safe and enjoy reading all the lovely books you got for Christmas. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

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

Best bookshop ever...xx

Take good care and well done for getting through 2020! Xxx
