Thank you for a wonderful book club meeting last night! 🫶🏻

Can’t wait for you to join us next month to discuss Missing Girls and Lost Boys with the author herself, Hannah Elliott! 🌷

Her book is available on Amazon, however I will be doing a bulk order direct with the author so let me know if you would like to join the list. ❤️

The wonderful Beckii Brindley from The Next Chapter book shop will be joining us from now on to discuss all things books but also to sell some of her amazing bookish gifts! It’s so exciting to support a local small business ❤️

If you’ve been enjoying our summery romance read this month, here’s ten more recommendations to keep the sunshine vibes going ☀️ 🏝️ 🌊

Missing girls and Lost Boys by H. Elliott will be our next read, to be discussed July 1st!

Hannah is an indie author whose book blew me away when she sent it to me earlier this year, it is a dystopian romance full of forbidden love, female rage and rebelling against the patriarchy! 💪

Unfortunately Hannah has faced a huge hit to her success due to an error with Amazon deleting her book by accident which has caused her to lose out on lots of sales and her rankings disappeared over night. Her second book in the series is due for imminent release and so let’s all rally round and support this amazing author and help her get back on her feet in time for her next launch.

I am in discussions with Hannah about attending our July meeting to discuss her book, the process of writing and self publishing and to share theories and thoughts on her book.

This book has remained one of my top 3 books of the year so far and I can’t wait to read it again with you all!

If you could download her book/ add it to your Goodreads To be read list/ share the recommendation on socials or with friends it will all help get her back on her feet.

I can’t wait for you to dive into this one!

I found a really cute bookshop in Bakewell today in the Granby Arcade, The Next Chapter ❤️

Highly recommend for cute book accessories, blind date with a book and new and second hand books. The lovely owner has pursued her dream and launched just 3 weeks ago! Let’s give her lots of support 🥰
