My vision is finally coming to life! I wasn’t going to let leaky roofs or burst pipes stop me.

Pianist Ciaran Gilligan will be playing from 5-9.00pm (normal opening hours 8-6.00pm)

In character ready for my Believe in Magic story to take centre stage with Westholme School @KingGeorgesHall We have 900 children watching this morning.

[Christina Gabbitas @ChristiGabbitas]

I’m excited to announce @RIndieBookshop Pay It Forward scheme!🤗📖
Businesses and individuals can buy a book or a gift voucher to give young readers a book or choice of their own. I will work with Harrogate primary and secondary schools to reach children and young people who would benefit most.

Nearly there with @RIndieBookshop
Countdown to opening 12th November!

I'm excited to announce that the fabulously talented Ciaran Gilligan will be adding pizzazz to our opening!

We are also excited to be welcoming a number of indie and traditionally published authors who will be dropping in throughout the day to sign books! I will update you with the list soon!

A real full-circle moment!😁
WHSmith in York and Beverley were among the stores that hosted my first book signings back in 2012.
Now I’ve bought shelving and furniture from those former stores at a steal for my new @RIndieBookshop.
The shelves that helped start my journey will soon support other indie writers.

@DJRustyEgan @ZaineGriffOffic @iwasarobot @cultwithnoname @hphoeger Is this available on vinyl?

[Christina Gabbitas @ChristiGabbitas]

Another visit to the @RIndieBookshop today, and another armful of books!
The opening has been slightly delayed, but excited to officially open doors on 12th November.
It's been wonderful receiving so many books from indie writers and publishers. I'm proud to be creating a bookshop where independents sit alongside popular and bestselling titles.
Lots still happening behind the scenes, hence the hard hat and high vis!😂

[Christina Gabbitas @ChristiGabbitas]

A win this morning when contacting @HarperCollinsUK I spoke to a human within 2 mins! Yay! I’m sourcing titles for my new independent bookshop. Opening 12th November in Harrogate.📚✨Follow @RIndieBookshop for further updates and Email: [email protected]

So sad and sorry to hear that Dame Esther Rantzen has died. A true icon and tireless campaigner who set up Childline forty years ago will be greatly missed by many. 🙁💚

Haven’t had much time to post on social media, as busy with many projects, including moving, setting up a bookshop, organising festivals, and writing. My Stolen Futures older teen novel is out Feb 27.

I'm getting very excited about my latest project, @RIndieBookshop No 4 Parliament Street Harrogate.
We're looking forward to sharing the latest titles across all genres and especially championing the smaller indie publishers and writers. In addition, we will be holding events and book signings, daytime and evenings.

There will be coffee, a selection of vinyl, and a ‘guess the lyric’ exercise as you walk around the shop! We will also be dog friendly🐾🐶 Meet our rescue dog Blue who will be part of the team.

As i'm working on writing commissions and other projects, i will be searching for dedicated nice peeps to join the team.
