A little bookish question for you…

I’m currently away, and if I’m completely honest, I’ve really struggled to switch off enough to read.

There’s been a lot going on personally, and although I’ve had a book with me, my mind hasn’t quite been able to settle into it. Sometimes you just can’t force yourself into another world when your head is busy living in this one.

So it got me wondering…

When you go away, what kind of reader are you?
📚 Do you pack one book… or enough to justify an extra suitcase?
📚 Can you happily settle down and disappear into a story?
📚 Do you deliberately leave the books at home and completely switch off from reading?
📚 Or do you find that reading is exactly what you need to escape reality for a little while?

Do you like to lose yourself in a fictional world, or do you prefer to stay firmly in the here and now?

I’d genuinely love to know. ❤️

Tell me — what happens to your reading habits when you go away? 📖✨

Maybe your bookshelf isn’t a “to be read” pile at all… 📚

Maybe it’s a little collection of stories waiting patiently for their moment.

Some books are for rainy afternoons.
Some are for holidays.
Some are for when you need an escape.
Some sit quietly on the shelf for years before suddenly becoming exactly what you needed.

And honestly? We think that’s rather lovely. ❤️

So whether you’re adding to your own little “book cellar” or searching for a story that feels like it’s been waiting for you… there’s always room for one more at The Plot Twist.

Plot twist: There is no such thing as a "break" from buying books. 🤷‍♀️📖

We promised ourselves we would just relax and look around, but who were we kidding? The bookstore magnet pulled us right in, and we absolutely could not resist.

From sports biographies and puzzle books to gorgeous new bookmarks, and tarot cards we completely lost all self-control—and we have zero regrets. Just give us all the books, books, books. 📕✨

Drop a 📚 if you’re also completely helpless inside a bookshop!

📖 We’re just bookmarking our page for a little while…

The Plot Twist is now closed for a little holiday — a chance for us to put down the pencils, close the covers and take a well-earned pause. ☕📚

We’re taking some time for rest, recuperation and, most importantly, a bit of family time, so that we can come back refreshed, recharged and ready for the next chapter.

And what a chapter it has been. ❤️

We honestly cannot put into words how grateful we are for every single person who has walked through our doors, bought a book, shared a coffee, enjoyed a cake, tried our savouries, recommended us to a friend or simply stopped by for a chat.

The amazing feedback and lovely messages we’ve received about The Plot Twist, our coffee, food, books and the little space we’ve created have meant more to us than you probably realise. 🥹

And this isn’t the end of the story… there are new things coming. 👀📖

We’re already looking forward to turning the page and welcoming you back on Thursday 15th October, when we’ll be ready to serve you all the amazing coffee, cakes and savouries you’ve been enjoying — with a few new chapters along the way.

Here’s to cosy autumn days, winter warmth, good books, great coffee and everything still to come at The Plot Twist. 🍂☕📚

Thank you for supporting our little bookshop and coffee shop. We’ll see you in the next chapter. ❤️

📚 Buying books and reading books are two completely different hobbies… 😂

If you’re anything like us, finding a book you need to own is half the fun — whether you’re actually ready to read it yet or not!
There’s nothing quite like finding a book you have to take home, even when your TBR pile is already threatening to take over the house. 🤎

At The Plot Twist, our shelves are full of pre-loved books looking for their next home, so come and have a browse and see what catches your eye. You never know what you might find… and there’s always room for just one more book, right? 🤎📖

☕ And, of course, you can grab a coffee while you’re here too.

What an absolutely magical evening! 💕✨

Last night, we had the absolute honor of hosting the incredible for the official launch of her beautiful new poetry book, True Lips 💋📚.

We are incredibly grateful that Jordan chose our little coffee shop and bookshop as the intimate venue for such a milestone moment. The shop was practically bursting at the seams with love, support, and an amazing turnout of beautiful souls who came out to celebrate her.

From the endless flows of pink lemonade to the deeply moving poetry readings, the energy in the room was pure magic. There is truly nothing better than seeing our community come together to uplift local talent, share laughter, and celebrate the power of words.

We could not be more proud of Jordan—the evening was a massive success, and her words have already left a lasting mark on all of our hearts.

A huge thank you to Jordan, and to everyone who grabbed a ticket, bought a copy, and filled our space with so much warmth and love. If you haven't picked up your copy of True Lips yet, make sure to grab one! ☕📖🌹
