It was window change week last week, and we completely forgot to post, sorry for the delay.
I think this is one of my favourite windows recently. Autumn is here.

Where did the summer go? The weather can't make up it's mind, and its nearly hoodie season.
It's also board change week again.

Side A - Autumn is a symphony of golden leaves, warm blankets, and stories that wrap around you like a crisp breeze. There's no better season to get lost in a book.

Side B - Think about it... All books have the potential to be self-help books. Fiction is just sneaky about it.
Books mentioned left to right "We'll prescribe you a cat" by Syoi Ishida, "Ghost Cat" by Alex Howard, "The Black Cats Bookshopc by Piergiorgio Pulixi.

September 11th is Book Club Day in the UK.
Is your bookgroup doing anything special?

"A book club is about more than a book. It's a place to meet people, exchange ideas, hear different perspectives and turn strangers into friends.
This Book Club Day UK, celebrate the people who make your reading life richer or take the first step towards finding them.
Who's in your bookclub? Tag your reading people below."

📚💬 Are you in a bookgroup, or looking for one?
If your group is open to new members please pop the details in the comments.

💬📚 If you're local and would like us to display a poster/ some leaflets about your group please pop in and talk to whoever is behind the till.

"Reading together has always been a quietly rebellious act.
For generations book clubs have created spaces for people to gather, question, learn, challenge ideas and imagine something different.
Joining the reading rebellion is simple: pick up a book, bring people together and start a conversation."

For more information about and how you can participate, or for information about Book Club Hub (a helpful took for bookgroups) visit The Reading Agency

Window change week, this month's theme is Nature.
Sorry for the delay, it's taken a few days to be able to get a photo where you can see the contents and not just reflections of our neighbours buildings.
Have you enjoyed reading in nature this week?

Finally for today- we found this jumper last week and forgot to post. We'll keep it until end of July and then pop it to charity if no one has claimed it.

We nearly forgot to share.
Our own gift vouchers (£5 or £10) perfect for gifts are now available.
Also new in, our lovley clowder of cat bookmarks and loyalty cards.

Watch this space for the window change next week.

We're having issues with our phone line.
