Come join us at the Book Nook on Saturday 29th August at 11 am for the Book Launch and Live Signing of Sh*ts & Giggles with Andy Curtis.

The Thinking Man's Book on Poo
If you are a woman, this book is NOT for you. However, if you love your man and want to understand him, buy this book for him. If intrigue gets the better of you, you could always have a sneak peek.

Life is loud, chaotic and exhausting. So, where do men retreat to think, regroup, reevaluate and rejuvenate? Not to mention the small matter of solving the world's problems. The bathroom. The toilet. The sh***er. The last great sanctuary of the modern man. Sh*ts & Giggles, the ultimate bathroom companion for the modern deep-thinking gentleman.

Our next Lost Letter Club will be on Sunday 30th August at 10 am to 12 pm.

We meet up once a month on Sunday morning for a relaxed gathering where we slow down, put pen to paper, and write letters that matter.
Weā€™ll provide the space, stationery, and encouragement - you bring the words.
Because some words deserve an envelope.

Celebrate the joys of reading and sharing with Cat and all the friends he makes through the magic of stories.

Catā€™s brand new book has the cleanest cover and the smoothest pages. It even smells good! He can read it whenever he wants to because itā€™s all his, and he plans to keep it looking new forever. But then Mole asks to read it. And then Frog. And then Turtle. After so much sharing, Catā€™s perfect new book is sandy and stained and...not so new anymore. This makes Cat sad. Will a new perspective from Squirrel be enough to teach Cat about what really make a book special?

Looking for a psychological thriller šŸ ? Hereā€™s what weā€™d recommend:
As a long-time Lisa Jewell fan, I went into It Could Have Been Her expecting a twisty, emotionally sharp story, and it didnā€™t disappoint. Jewell is never afraid to dig into genuinely dark themes, and it never feels sensationalized just for the sake of shock.

Sally is a likable, grounded protagonist and compelling enough to root for, I can easily imagine a series featuring her. You start to piece together what has happened about halfway through, but that doesnā€™t lessen the suspense; it only makes it grip harder. The book is a true page-turner. And Stuart? He is particularly complex, tragic, and haunting in the way only Jewell can manage.

P.s. This book is reminiscent of The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, which will be our September Cosy Book Club read.
