Storytime today was a hopping success with Abigail Rayner and her book The Backup Bunny 😍🐇😍

It's Storytime day! And we're awaiting a very special guest... Abigail Rayner! Who will be reading her book: The Backup Bunny

If you haven't read #TheStormKeepersIsland by @doyle_cat yet, you really need to come and get a copy. It's a perfectly magical summer-holiday read for age 9+ (I'm 37 and love it!). Think Harry Potter with a dash of The Goonies and a sprinkle of Celtic Mythology. @KidsBloomsbury

Emma McNally will be in today signing copies of her delightful children's books. Don't miss out! 😍📖🖋️ #HaroldHuxley

One very happy bookseller received her Wundrous Society Pin today! #Nevermoor #StepBoldly

Squee!!! We've just had Jessica Townsend in store and she's signed all our Nevermoor books! Step Boldly and you can grab one before they all vanish...

It's time to think about #WorldBookDay costumes! Don't panic, we've got some ideas for you...
