This Week's Recommended Author...

If you enjoy books that are funny, warm, honest and wonderfully relatable, we think Marian Keyes is an author you'll love.

One of Ireland's best-loved authors, Marian Keyes has been writing for over 30 years. Her books combine humour and heart with stories about family, friendship, relationships and the ups and downs of everyday life.

We have plenty to choose from, including many of her best-loved novels. Most of our books cost just €1 each

If you've never tried Marian Keyes, pick one up this week and discover why so many readers love her books. If you’ve already read and enjoyed Marian Keyes, why not try Jojo Moyes, Sophie Kinsella, Cecelia Ahern, Jill Mansell or Lucy Diamond? We’ve got lots of books by ALL of these authors too, so come soon and find your next favourite read.

📚 Book of the Week – EXCLUSIVELY for our Library Members 📚

As you know, we have a Special Collection of books which are exclusively for our valued library members. These books are recently published, popular or highly recommended - and they are NOT for sale!

This week we've chosen The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods.

What if a bakery’s pastries really could work a little magic?

Edie Lane leaves Ireland behind for what she believes is her dream job in a bakery in Paris. There’s just one problem… The bakery isn’t in Paris, and neither is Edie!

Instead, she finds herself in the charming French town of Compiègne, working in a mysterious little bakery on the Rue de Paris. Rumour has it that its pastries can do more than satisfy a sweet tooth – they can bring luck, unlock memories and reveal hidden longings.

As Edie settles into her unexpected new life, she begins to uncover the secrets of the bakery, its family and its past – and discovers that perhaps ending up in the wrong place has brought her exactly where she needs to be.

💕 A warm, charming and magical story about new beginnings, love, secrets and finding your way home.

Perfect for readers who enjoy a little magical realism, romance and French charm.

Come and borrow it before someone else does!

Library membership costs less than €1 a week and gives you access to all these fantastic books PLUS more than 13,000 others to choose from!

ALL our profits go to local charities 💙.

Every week we choose a "Deal of the week" for our bookshop customers at The Original Charity Library and Book Shop in Javea Park.

This week we've chosen something that we're sure you'll love, Burial Rites by Hannah Kent.

It's Iceland in 1829. A woman is condemned to death for a terrible murder. But what really happened?

Agnes is convicted of taking part in the brutal murder of two men and sentenced to death. While she awaits her ex*****on on an isolated farm in northern Iceland, the family who must shelter her wants nothing to do with her.

Only a young priest, Tóti, tries to understand the woman behind the sensational story.

As the harsh Icelandic winter closes in and Agnes’s ex*****on draws nearer, her story slowly emerges – revealing love, betrayal, injustice and a very different side to the woman everyone believes they know.

Inspired by a true story, Burial Rites is haunting, atmospheric historical fiction about guilt, judgement and the stories we choose to believe.

🏆 Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, Guardian First Book Award and International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

At only €1.50 it will be gone soon so come and buy it before someone else does!

ALL our profits go to local charities 💙.
