🏴‍☠️ SCHOOL HOLIDAY ADVENTURE AHEAD! 🏴‍☠️

We’re getting ready to welcome children’s author Beckie Plant to Inkwood & Ivy for a special reading of her new picture book, Land of Anger.

Little readers can enjoy the story, take part in a children’s activity and discover how even the biggest, stormiest feelings can be understood and safely worked through.

📅 Friday 9 October
⏰ 10:30am
📍 Inkwood & Ivy Books & Curiosities
🎨 Story reading + children’s activity
🎟️ Free | All ages welcome

No need to sail the seven seas looking for a school holiday activity—we’ll see you right here at Inkwood & Ivy!

Hey Readers, a few new-to-us beauties have arrived at Inkwood & Ivy… and your shelves may need to shuffle over. 📚✨

Meet the latest temptations:
🍂 The Pumpkin Spice Café
💜 The Seven Year Slip
🥀 A Bargain So Bloody
🌙 A River Enchanted
✨ The Ascended
🎀 Barbie: Dreamscape

All except The Ascended are special editions with printed edges, because apparently a pretty cover wasn’t enough to test our self-control. 👀

Pop in for a closer look. “I’m just browsing” is always a lovely opening line.

Which one has caught your eye? 🌿

Your next book box fix? October… or December. 👀📚

And if October is calling your name, this is your nudge: we’re running very low on boxes. With 2 days still to go until the planned pre-order deadline, we’ll be closing pre-orders early. 🖤

There’ll be no November Readers Society box while we work on our new website and prepare a big end-of-year book box surprise.

Which makes October your last chance to unwrap a little bookish mystery from us before December.

This month, we’re embracing the spooky season with The Frangitelli Mirror by G. R. Thomas, a special edition paperback and a collection of surprises to accompany your reading.

Gothic vibes. No spice. A little romance.
An excellent excuse to stay home and ignore your responsibilities. 🕯️

$85. No subscription required. Just a treat for you—or someone whose taste in gifts is suspiciously similar to yours.

December’s secrets can wait. Your October order probably shouldn’t. 👻

Head to our website to secure one of our remaining boxes

In Land of Anger, Central West author Beckie Plant uses playful rhyme and a pirate adventure to help children recognise anger, understand what it feels like and discover healthy ways to navigate it.
