I'm just back to sunny #Highlands after a fab Booksellers Association Publishing Scotland conference. Pitching our Little Door Books titles, networking, and meeting publishing pals. Lucky me won a prize of all 3 Hebridean Baker . Thanks for signing them Coinneach 😀 Great to meet you 👍

One of the best things about our art trail is that it's a fantastic way to get outdoors, take in the fresh seaside air and get moving. All for free! Trail-goers have been clocking up the steps and we've had lots of people say they feel amazing for it (if not a little tired)🥰

Some Bounce Books to help young people talk about their feelings. Not just for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek but for every day and every week. #ChooseBookshops
