Our Spring box is back with new prints, bookmarks, treats and scents!!

The perfect gift for yourself or a bookish friend, this box has a beautiful selection of treats and a book to help you spend some time reading during the lighter evenings coming our way.

A feel-good, heart-warming romance for anyone desperate to break out of their shell and find their true self.

Dumped by Instagram post. Not a whiff of a social life. Can it get any worse?

After a string of failed relationships – romantic and platonic – Lea’s had enough of watching life happen without her. When she bumps into Shep, a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in need of accommodation, it feels like destiny. And voilá – Lea now has a lodger and some company.

Filled with danger, spirit and tenderness, this is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive — not just at sea, but in life.

Maurice and Maralyn couldn’t be more different. He is as cautious and awkward as she is charismatic and forceful. It seems an unlikely romance, but it works.

Shipwrecked at sea caused by a whale, and stuck on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test.

A gentle, feel-good, contemporary novel about second (and maybe even third) chances, friendship, family, relationships and the magical power of books. I absolutely adored the idea of the Memory Library, and the books that were brought up throughout too. There are firm literary roots growing through […]
It’s not often we head to the Lake District for anything other than something cute, cosy and escapist… but in Day One we are firmly caught up in a twisted and emotional storyline from the moment the book begins.Arm yourself with a large cup of something […]
