A slightly late Happy New Year to all who see this!

To celebrate the start of 2023 we made 5 lists of 5 book recommendations (with links to a longer list for each). If you’re looking for your next read, this could be a good place to start.

We love spending all day surrounded by books…

And for the next two Sundays, we’ll be in the shop for an extra day ❤️📚

Great to be at the @PickeringJunior School Christmas Fair earlier this evening with some big boxes of books!

[Pickering Book Tree @pickabooktree]

Until the end of Saturday 17th December (the day after schools break up for Christmas), customers will continue to be given a marble for every £10 spent in the shop. Each marble represents £1 worth of books, which we’ll donate when schools return in the New Year.
