Have you been to see The Salt Path at the cinema yet? More importantly - have you read the book? If the film has left you wanting more, why not try Landlines or The Wild Silence? Or treat yourself to a bag, bottle or jigsaw featuring Angela Harding's stunning illustrations!

Lovely to welcome Broadheath Primary's Reading Ambassadors back to store to choose more books for their classes today (and enjoy a drink and a treat in our cafe of course!) We were so impressed with how they thought about what their classmates would enjoy!

Thank you to the lovely William Rayfet Hunter for calling in today to sign copies of their novel Sunstruck, shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize. Roberta says it's a "sundrenched literary thriller, which doesn't shy away from some hard-hitting themes."

Interspersed with practical advice, 'And How Does That Make You Feel?' is a candid, warm-hearted and enlightening glimpse behind the therapist's door. Thanks to Joshua Fletcher for coming in to sign our copies.

Need a new family game for the weekend? Got a Minecraft fan in the house? Rachael recommends Minecraft Explorers. A cooperative card game where players work strategically together to explore lands, gather items and fill their storage chests before being overrun by mobs!
