It is with great sadness my home delivery supplier Gardners Books have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend taking any more orders. I fear that leaves Octavia’s Bookshop stranded as I can no longer get books to you in your homes.

The orders were coming in thick and fast which just shows your incredible loyalty to my shop at this difficult time.

Please remember after all this is over, to come back to the shop and for those who have now become customers further afield, we can still continue to supply you books once this is over. Amazon mustn’t keep the independent bookshops from coming back. The independent bookshop industry is small and beautiful, and has defied the odds through the precariousness of the likes of Amazon.

It is a tragedy that we cannot sustain our own magic directly to you through book delivery, when the escapism and hope of literature is what the world desperately needs right now. Please bear in mind that our flame has only been dimmed, but the spark of Octavia’s Bookshop can never go out if we have all our beautiful customers to return to, through the spread of homegrown recommendations and love of books. Our home delivery service will be back up and running, as soon as our supplier can safely distribute once again.

I will stay online with what I’m reading and loving from my reading room at home.

Wishing you all safety and love through these hard times.

Take care
