What was the last book you read and loved?

Aisling: An advance copy of The Burning Chambers by Kate Mosse - just as amazing as her other stories!

Ashlee: Mythos by Stephen Fry. It's a humorous take on Greek mythology. 

Chloe: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black - the first in her new YA fantasy series. I'm really excited to get my hands on the next book! 

What were your all-time favourite childhood books or stories?

Aisling: Anything by Enid Blyton - The Famous Five, Malory Towers, The Enchanted Wood...

Ashlee: Growing up I loved anything Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton.

Chloe: The Witches by Roald Dahl was always one of my absolute favourites! I also loved Jacqueline Wilson's novels such as The Diamond Girls and Dustbin Baby. 

What is one thing you would like people to know about your bookshop?

Aisling: The community events we hold, particularly our monthly Young Adult Book Club (which we love!) and our bi-monthly Books at Bars events.

Ashlee: We have YA book clubs every month that are a hit with customers.

Chloe: That we don't just sell books! We have fantastic non-book products such as Harry Potter-inspired candles and bookish bath bombs. We also regularly stock book-related Pop Vinyls and merchandise!
