Every day there’s something new!
We’ve just received an excellent pre-loved collection of Donald E. Westlake books, the wickedly funny godfather of American crime fiction, equally brilliant in writing hardboiled noir and screwball capers. These are in great condition. Available now in Stockport!

What can happen in the first hour of opening the doors of Serenity Books? Many marvellous things, and not all of them photographed, but lived-in-the-moment things.

Saying hello people you know, “good to see you! How’s the Stockport shop doing? I’ve got some books, can I bring them here?” “Yes, of course! Thank you!”

Selling the hardback copy of the much adored Sam Neil’s Did I Ever Tell You This? (It’s been on the shelf since we opened and went to a very appreciative home!)

“Apologies, my daughter bought me a kindle…but as you can see, I’m still buying books from you, there’s nothing quite like the real thing! I’ll only take it on my cruise…” “Please don’t apologise, it’s lovely to see you!”

Finally locating ‘s proof Time Jump (bumped up to the top of must reads for me!) and — Jac, my fellow Aussie and friend bringing in Shapes, Barbecue and Chicken Crimpy flavour, a taste of home! Thank you Jac! X

Lots to browse for those of you popping into Romiley bookshop, and the day is young even now!

See you soon? 💜

Meet Mr Skelly, the internet’s favourite skeleton, now on the page for the first time.

In this beautifully hand-painted journey, Mr Skelly wanders through lush landscapes and hard terrain alike, moving through joy, loss, grief and love in search of home.

“How lucky am I, to have lost what I wanted, to find what I deserved.”

Gentle words paired with hand-painted imagery offer a softer light on what’s often overlooked. A quiet, comforting reminder that we’re all, in the end, made of the same bones.

Perfect for anyone who needs a little stillness and gratitude on the shelf this season.

Been looking forward to this one for a while, we have copies available in Romiley today. 💀🤍💜

We don’t charge for Book Club and have always wanted these to be accessible and open to everyone. However, with the rising costs of everything, we are asking for a contribution of £2 per person as a donation, only if you are comfortable and able to. We don’t want money to be a barrier to accessing the Book Club community so this will be completely voluntary. Your support is always appreciated and thank everyone that buys the Book Club book and more.

Want to sign up? Let us know at the counter of either shop or message us and we will add you to the Book Club Mailing List, where you’ll get exclusive member offers throughout the year and always a 10% off the book choice for the month. No lock-ins or monthly obligations to come every single month, but we guarantee it is so welcoming and fun, you won’t want to miss it! 💜

The NME have reported that a new survey has suggested that 41% of adults in the UK have not listened to an album in full in the last year.

Going back to vinyl is a fantastic (and the original) way to experience that joy.

Listen. 🧡💚

See what’s new in our pre-loved vinyl range. We are open 7 days!
