A dream ten years in the making has found a home at Par Market. Please give a warm welcome to Kate and her new bookshop, Raven & Rhyme.
Dedicated to romance, the shelves cover contemporary romance, sports romance, dark romance and romantasy. Current finds include books by Ali Hazelwood, Hannah Grace, Elsie Silver and Rebecca Yarros, with plenty to tempt readers into “just one more chapter”.
Most books are new, and Kate also buys bundles of preloved books, giving well-loved stories another reader to sweep away.
There’s more than books to browse, too: reading accessories, mugs, glasses and gifts for book lovers. We’ve also got a soft spot for the handcrafted little angry ghost. Even with that expression, he’s rather hard to resist.
Kate’s love of these stories is at the heart of the shop, and she’s finally turning a longstanding passion into her everyday life.
Stock changes week to week, so pop in and find your next read. If something catches your eye, don’t leave it too long; it might have found another bookshelf by your next visit.
