Saturday 11 October is Love Your Bookshop Day (LYBD), an annual celebration of everything that makes local bookshops special—from knowledgeable staff and handpicked book selections to fun events that bring authors, readers, and stories together. This year's theme is Discover the magic. Discover you.
To celebrate, we have some fun things happening across our shops…
Complimentary cupcakes!
For the early birds, our shops will be handing out delicious cupcakes in the morning for you to indulge in while you browse. Only available while stocks last.
Personal Penguins are back!
Everyone loved receiving their Personal Penguins during last year's LYBD. So Penguin has created a new little Penguin buddy to collect! To claim yours, simply buy two Penguin Books from any Readings shop. Only available in shops, while stocks last.
Win a year's worth of audiobooks from Libro.fm!
Find one of the Golden Tickets hidden in our shops and you'll win 12 Libro.fm audiobook credits! There will be one Golden Tickert hidden in each of our nine Readings shops!
Keep an eye on our socials for clues to where they are hidden in each of our shops…
Book launch at Readings Kids:
Join us to celebrate the launch of Stuart Wilson's exciting sequel to The 113th Assistant Librarian.
In The 113th Assistant Librarian 2: Lost in a Book, Oliver has settled into his life as the 113th assistant librarian. He loves his job - even though it sometimes includes battling giant crabs or fending off firedrakes - and his new friend, the mostly-human Agatha, is always on hand to help. But when he discovers a rare edition of a history book with unique wording, he realises the slightest misinterpretation could endanger the entire kingdom.
Karys McEwen, the author of The Paperbark Tree Committee, will do the launching honours.
When: Saturday 11 October at 2pm
Free, but bookings are essential.
