Nearly there!

It feels like a very long time since I last wrote a blog post. Sorry about
that, but it’s been rather hectic here. Good hectic though.

This post is a quick one to say a very heartfelt thank-you to customers old
and new, for their amazing support. The year has been tough for many, and small
businesses have had to be creative to survive. Thanks to your wonderful
support, we have not only survived, but thrived and grown.

Our new room for teens and adults has been a hit. Maybe it’s the comfy chairs…hopefully, it’s the books!

We will be open until 5pm on Christmas Eve, for last-minute panic buying and then we are closing for the holidays. If we don’t see you before, have a wondeful Christmas and peaceful, healthy and happy New Year.

Farewell 2015, Hello 2016.

As page 365 of 2015 reaches its final paragraph, we would like to take this opportunity to wish one and all a very happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

The year ahead promises to be a bookish affair, with the 150th anniversary of The Jungle Book, Harry Potter Book Night, World Book Day, the centenary of Roald Dahl and the launch of a certain Brentwood Children’s Literary Festival. As well as all of that, we will be welcoming authors into the shop and schools, plus helping schools with their book orders, running our tuition centre, Book Club, Creative Writing Club and of course, ringing in the New Year to the sound of Lego.

So, until next year dear readers…may your book collection grow ever more interesting.
