It's not often the shopfront gets on the feed & what better time than when we have blue skies...

Our window display for the brand new cosy crime novel, #ThePottingShedMurders by #PaulaSutton was desperately needing some sun to help keep the plants alive!🪴☀️

Dialogue Publishing

We have new ceramics from #SueUreMaison in the Homeware dept. and they are so gorgeous we have made them our new #HomeHighlight ! ✨

Come and see the new pieces on display in the shop and read more about Sue and her craft over on our blog: mainstreetbooks.co.uk/blog/sue-ure-m…

The lovely people at Cairngorm Coffee sent us coffee samples and they were so good, we could not resist getting some bags to let our customers discover their stuff as well ☕

We now have ground (suitable for both espresso & French press) as well as beans on our shelves.

What better to do on a rainy weekend than stay indoors and practice your cooking and/or baking 🧑🏼‍🍳

We have had so many lovely cookery books arrive in the shop recently so if you’re in need of meal inspiration then stop by for a browse 📚

Jack's book recs:📚

#WheretheDarkStandsStill - Imagine if Studio Ghibli made Beauty & the Beast. I caught myself smiling so many times reading this

#TheCollapsingWall - Johnstone flaunts his ability to make turning the page all too easy. I can't wait to see how the trilogy ends

Thank you to #CarysDavies for such interesting & insightful discussion on Wednesday night!

Ordinarily, as booksellers we try our best not to overlap on the books that we read. However, #Clear was read & loved by us all.

We now have signed copies of #Clear in the shop✨

We have Oak Smoked Garlic from The Garlic Farm back in the Deli! 🧄

It sells fast so if you are after some be sure to pop in soon to get it…

Massive congratulations to Liz Berry for winning the TheWritersPrize Book of the Year with her poetry book #TheHomeChild 🎉👏
