I do love my job sometimes - a bunch of YA proofs just come in 😍😍 I‘m particularly intrigued by The beast Player, a Japanese fantasy with hints of dark folklore and fairy tales!
The trouble with working in a bookshop is that most of my pay packets goes back to the people who pay me! The travel writing binge continues with these two beauties 😍😍 one for Venice (where I‘ve been) and one for Patagonia (which is on the list)
How beautiful is this edition!!!??? Couldn‘t help it just had to get it ☺️☺️ one of my favourite fantasy series!!
One for the travel writing lovers out there! I‘m on a bit of a non fiction binge atm and I love anything that takes me back to proper explorer times. Harrer‘s memoir is absolutely fascinating and I‘m now dying to go to the Himalayas!!
Jess doesn‘t find Good Omens half as interesting as I do, she was actually snoring the whole time I was taking photos of her 😂😂😂 #DogsofLitsy
Any thoughts of prefaces/preludes/prologues/forewords? I have a cheeky confession- sometimes I just skip it! Especially in fantasy novels it often feels like waffle...
Paddinngon Bear pop up book trail around London? Umm yes please!!!! Chilly though...
Crappy sick day in bed buuuuuut awesome book to read in the meantime 😝😝 throwing a whole new meaning on the word fairy tale! I‘m intrigued to see how it ends 😍😈👻🦕
Ah ma gaaaad! Cosy evening in meant I got to finish off this beauty. New book from Marissa Meyer this one with a super heroes twist! Perfect for all the marvel fans out there 😋 but a hugely non satisfying ending! I presume there will be more to come but the end was so abrupt!
Hmm my deamon is a Lyre bird...not what I would have thought but I quite like the description 😂😂 try finding yours!!

Lush bit of fantasy here, love, loyalty and revenge mingle in a heady rush of beautiful writing. The beginning of the Tales of Otori ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Halloween display for work 👻🎃🐍💀👽 I made the tree and all the sillouhette bits hehe love Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I bought this in the hope that my doodles will improve, but I don‘t think they will ever be as good as Chris Riddell‘s doodles 😂😂 I live in eternal hope and optimism 👍👍😝😝
Can I just take a moment to appreciate the 80s splendour of this cover? Or is it 70s? I neve was much use with decades...
The beginnings of a Halloween display for my children's books window at work! 🎃💀👽👻🤖🎃💀👽👻🎃👽💀🤖👻🎃💀👽🤖
New book from Louise O'Neil who popped by the shop yesterday- I haven't read any of her others but they sound interesting anyone know where I should start? What genre does this fall under? 🙄🙄
If you read The Loney this is his new book!!! It looks absolutely stunning and he stopped by the shop so I was able to get a signed copy 😍😍 of you have read The Loney do so now! It's a gothic masterpiece, perfect for Halloween 🎃🎃👻👻 and absolutely beautiful.
Amazing story based on a true story about what happened to a group of boys that got left on a remote sea stack. Absolutely beautiful and totally unpredictable 💙💙💙
I ❤️ this book. It is both beautiful and inspiring. My favourite stories are about the pirates Jacquotte Delahaye and Grace O'Malley who were fearless and ferocious - Queens of the sea 💙
How cute is this cover!?!?!? I'm in love with it heheh. It's also a great book about a family who move to a town called perfect where everyone is afflicted by a sun that turns them blind unless they wear special glasses- but perfect is too perfect and when her Mum goes nuts and her Dad disappears Violet has to solve the mystery!
@Laalaleighh Just so you know you've bought a super beautiful book, this is the inside cover that's hidden under that dust jacket- still so beautiful and it's engraved along the spine 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Returning to my books after a terrible first date because books at where the best men at 😜😛 hehhehehe
Well that was a creep up on me great read! Got sent a proof from work and absolutely loved it! Modern Salem mixed with its witch trials heritage, written by a descendent of one who was a part of it. All the while being fast paced, exciting and fascinating! P.S this is already out in the US (lucky you) but not in the UK till January next year!!!!
Out today!!!!! The absolutely beautiful new book from The Lie Tree author Frances Hardinge 😮😮😮 just look at that cover. Cannot wait to dig in to it 😜😜😜
New Holly Bourne book out!! Her books are always funny and very real and are about girls going through very normal but crazy life stuff. 😍 excited to read this one!
Just saw this film for the first time, so sad and beautiful. Karen is an extremely strong woman who never stopped despite the hardships she faced. Also Meryl Streep is amazing and now I simply must read the book - has anyone read it? 🐆🐂🐆🐘🐫🐃🐊🐿🐇🦃🕊
I love this book! The alternative England is so interesting and the new take on witches I loved. It has such a sprawling story line and you really get into the characters heads ❤️❤️❤️ Good if you like Books like Sorcerer to the Crown :) P.S please forgive the unappealing background of trains and the BFIs back entrance 😂😂
Just a bit of light reading before bed time...
Oh no big deal just a drawing lesson from Cressida Cowell the author of How to Train your Dragon for her new book...😮😮 best night ever! I love my job! everyone needs to go out and get this- it's so sweet and funny and wonderful and Cressida is an absolute delight who lights up a room - also I still can't draw 😂😂😂

Cheeky coffee at lunchtime 😊😊😊 I ❤️ this book, it's fascinating. Jay Griffiths travelled the world visiting cultures and meeting people. It took her 7 years to write this book but it's so beautiful I want to cry on every other page!!!
New David Attenborough book coming out this Christmas! It's soooo good, if you like nature and Attenborough (who doesn't?) read it!! His diaries from his years as an exploring journalist for the BBC are hilarious and fascinating.
How I feel about golf eloquently put by someone much smarter than myself
Desperately needed a night in to myself after many many insane months :) and this book came very highly recommended. Ready to huddle in all I need now is a cup of tea ❤️❤️
Just the way to spend a bank holiday Monday 😝😝😝
My first ever Zadie Smith! I've heard a lot so it had a lot to live up to but hoping it's a good one! #bookseller #freebies
Been meaning to get around to getting this for ages! Thank god for Forbidden Planet and their amazing fantasy section 😍😍 I spent a small fortune but so worth it!!
I've only been working in my new bookshop for a week and this is the accumulation of books I've gathered. This is going to get real expensive really fast even with discount! 😅😮🤤
If you ever wanted to know anything about Roller Derby- get this graphic novel!! It follows two girls going through fresh meat and becoming the powerful women that roller derby makes you. Funny and brilliant, all about loving yourself and powerful women 👍👍👍👍also it looks awesome 😝
I'm sorry but would you look at this cover?? 😍😍😍 I love it, i needed it and so I bought it. My bank account isn't happy but I sure am 😋

Finished the new Alex Rider!! Haven't read one of these in forever and I kinda missed listening to all his crazy exploits 😝 it's much the same as all the others but still great fun to read if you love a good teen spy action packed adventure!
SOCKS! I love socks 😍 especially literary socks, or just cute animal socks...I live a super cool and exciting life ☺️☺️☺️
And last but reeeeally not least.... ❤️❤️

Omg omg omg Terry Pratchett's team have just announced four new special editions of his books!!! 😮😮😮 I'm in love there so beautiful I hope they keep going till they do them all! @elkeo - I thought you would appreciate this!
Kinda sad I only took photos of two of the bookshops in Kinsale, but in my defence I was distracted by all the beautiful books. Also the collie who lives in one of the bookshops with his guitar playing owner- I've never met a cooler person.
