Sunday Socials! Join us for a cosy crafting event next Sunday 12th July at 2pm with the fabulous Sangu Mandanna. We'll be creating some gorgeous bookmarks and celebrating the paperback release (and brand new cover) for Sangu's book 'A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping.'

The author of 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches' delivers another romantasy full of charm, wit and heartwarming magic, as a witch turned innkeeper must seek help from an irresistible historian. Expect found family, a magical inn, a zombie chicken and a semi villainous fox.

Tickets are available at waterstones.com/events and include a copy of Sangu's new book plus a drink from our café.

Huge thanks to children's author Bec Manser for popping into the shop, signing copies and introducing us to the wonderful world of her book Wildheart...

Frozen meets Greenwild in this incredible story full of wild magic, spooky ghouls and adventure.

The children of Twigswick are taught three things:

Never stray past the rune posts at the edge of town
Run home as fast as you can when the warning bell chimes
Spirits are very real and very dangerous
Nettle Sourbud lives in the shadow of her older sister, Fern; fearless, tough and confident, Fern is everything Nettle is not.
So, when Fern runs off to join the Wildheart Rangers - the protectors of towns from the spirits and ghouls of Dryda Forest - Nettle thinks she’s lost her sister forever, as she’ll never be brave enough to follow her into the enchanted woods.

Then news reaches Twigswick that Fern has abandoned the Rangers to join the infamous Shadow Stalkers and Nettle knows something isn’t right. Fearing her sister is in danger, she ventures into the forest to find the truth...

Joining the Rangers, Nettle realises she’ll have to face her fears and defeat the Hollow Spirits who haunt the forest if she wants to rescue Fern. But soon Nettle starts to wonder if her sister needs saving at all, or Fern is the one who must be stopped...
