Happy Bookshop Day! šŸ“šā¤ļø

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support us and other lovely independent bookshops. We really couldnā€™t do it without you!

āœØBOOK OF THE WEEKāœØ
Donā€™t look too closely into the mirror.
It might look backā€¦ šŸ‘€

Our next Book of the Week has been chosen by Kate.
Lykewise is a chilling, gripping read for young teen readers or those at the higher end of middle grade. And itā€™s a perfect choice for the spooky season. šŸ‘»

With great writing that draws you straight in, Lykewise creates a wonderfully unsettling atmosphere. The eerie landscape is beautifully described, building the suspense as the story twists and turns.

And just when you think you know whatā€™s happeningā€¦ think again! šŸ‘€

If you like your books creepy, atmospheric and full of twists, this one might be for you!

šŸŖž Would you dare to look?
