So many children's authors are out there writing incredible stories. You just need to pop into a bookshop and choose them.

Customers have asked over the years, why don't we stock David Walliams books? Because we know what the publishing industry has known for years. You won't find his books in many indies, because we have the luxury of choosing what we stock and who we promote. 1/2

Use your local library, your local bookshop, that indie cafe, the park, the board game cafe, the beach, that weird fountain at the mall... Use them all the way you used to before you owned a computer in your pocket. Maybe that small thing will help us all in 2025.

This year has been a mixed bag. So much sadness and loneliness in the world caused by the very platforms that also provide so much joy. A gentle reminder to everyone, third spaces still exist, they still need people to use them, and we thrive in them. 1/2

And finally, a proper list of the biggest sellers in our shop this year, with no surprises at Amor Towles getting the top spot after our event with him this year, in which Sam referenced Slash in his opening speech and I (the crazed wife and co -owner) rambled at Amor about toilets on the motorway.

Top selling books in 2024, table for two by Amor Towles and Unruly by David Mitchell
