Hot take: Any book is better than dealing with real life.☺️📚

Give me an unreliable narrator, a dragon 🐲 flying victoriously away from battle, a cowboy 🤠charming the pants off the new girl in town, the thrill of a “who done it?” 😱 over answering emails and paying bills any day.

Catch us this weekend at Mum Fest to find your next escape from reality.

Threshing day is FINALLY here!

Fantasy readers, raise your hands 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you’ve ever struggled to pronounce a character’s name? And keep them up 🙌🏼 if later you listened to the audiobook and learned you were SO SO WRONG 😂 There’s nothing like the feeling of realizing this 400 pages 📖 into it.

Well, good news…Peddling Prose Bookshop is a judgement free zone! And I love getting lost in an amazing fantasy🐉 novel - pronunciations be damned😂

Let us provide you with your next tongue twister fantasy! DM us, snag one at an upcoming event, or order directly through our Bookshop.org or Libro.fm sites.
