Add some colour to your life, visit a bookshop!

Ok, so I saw another shop do something similar but by the time I made mine, served a few customers and put the delivery away, I’ve completely forgotten who - sorry. But just know I “borrowed” the idea from someone else.

Any who, lots of fabulous books to add some colour to your life at the Imaginarium.

The highly anticipated first book of The Wicked Powers, the final Shadowhunters trilogy! #1 New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare brings the saga that began with The Mortal Instruments to a stunning conclusion.

It’s Drusilla Blackthorn’s third year at Shadowhunter Academy when a chance encounter at a nightclub turns into a kidnapping. Dru finds herself held prisoner by Prince Ash Morgenstern in the land of Faerie, a place that proves just as dangerous as it is beautiful. Despite herself, Dru is drawn to Ash and the darkness that seems to surround him – but one false move could cost her life.

Meanwhile, a shocking disappearance rocks the foundations of the Shadowhunter world. Kit Herondale and Ty Blackthorn must set aside the bitterness that lingers between them and join forces on a perilous quest to save everything they cherish.

It’s been a while since I did a DOB - or in fact any post like this. Sadly, social media is always secondary to everything else we do. But, yesterday i had 2 people tell me they found us via social media. So, it clearly works!

My DOB is:
A cup of tea
A dress layered with a band tshirt, with matching socks trainers 😂
And I’m reading The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig.
