Two days of insight into the world of bookselling with the chance to hear authors speak. Looking forward to next year!

Tracey joined the Read and Relax team in March and she loves to read all fiction - particularly family sagas.

Her favourite book this year has been 'The Homemade God' by Rachel Joyce.

Tracey used to run a nursery so watch this space for children's activities starting up this year 📚📚

Happy Friday!

I thought it would be nice to introduce each of our staff members as we are a growing team 😄

I was lucky enough to enjoy another beautiful dog walk in Kinross-shire this evening.

This time I was listening to the captivating 'Yesteryear' by Caro Claire Burke.

I was out walking my dog this evening and I was fortunate enough to be amongst this stunning scenery.

I often get asked 'why did you open a bookshop?' and when I'm working in Read and Relax, I often get asked by tourists about things to do in the local area.

The answers, for me, are simple. I love books and I know what a positive impact reading can have on a person's life. Kinross-shire has so much to offer: beautiful nature, castles, sports and a thriving high street to name just a few.

I'm so happy that I have been able to open a bookshop here in such a beautiful place. Our books are carefully curated to meet the tastes of our customers. Whether it's a history or nature book you are looking for, or perhaps the latest release fiction book, pop into Read and Relax and see what we have to offer.

Coffee & cake available too 🙂

Dogs are very welcome at Read and Relax and there are treats behind the counter.

My previous job was a dog walker so I love it when dogs come for a visit.

It's Amber's birthday today 🎉📚🐾 She was less interested in the book I put next to her but was very happy with her new teddy ❤️
