Not Just Books

Here we are in November and the year hurtles on at pace. We love this quote from poet John Clare; it puts us in the mood for curling up with a good book. “So dull and dark are the November days. The lazy mist high up the evening curled, and now the morn quite hides in the smoke and haze; the place we occupy seems all the world.” Not Just Books still have some great reasons to tempt you out though! Our free Christmas Catalogues are with us and available from the shop. Our Reynard Reads Book Club meets again on Wednesday 16th November at 7pm and we will be discussing Daughter of The Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller, the YA TikTok sensation. We’ll be open until 7pm on Friday 2nd December to coincide with the Christmas Lights Switch-on, there may even be a festive treat or two!

As always, we like to share with you a fiction and children s title. The November Children’s Book of the Month is The Midnight Panther’ by Poonam Mistry. Her previous book, How The Stars Came to Be has been a firm favourite with customers so we hope you love this stunning fable about courage and finding your place in the world just as much. As always, Poonam’s illustrations are gorgeous in her own, beautiful style. Limberlost by Robbie Arnott is the Fiction Book of the Month for November.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram It’s a beautiful and often brutal coming-of-age story about the cost of dreams, war, and human violence on the natural world, from the twice Miles Franklin Award listed rising star of Australian fiction. At turns tender and occassionally vicious, Limberlost is a tale of the masculinities we inherit, the limits of ownership and understanding, and the teeming, vibrant wonders of growing up. Don’t forget, if there is a specific book you are after and we don’t have it in stock: we have access to hundreds of thousands of titles through our wholesaler and most can be with us within a couple of days, making Christmas shopping a doddle and keeping it local on the high street.

Happy reading!
