Congratulations to David Melling and Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷. I highly recommend this hilarious and mischief-packed remix of some very well known fairy tale characters (with bears!). Picture book perfection! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/snow-w…


The legend that is michael sheen 💙 - the best thing? It's a wonderful story, with a brilliantly talented illustrator (Sarah Massini) and all sales through Bookshop.org support indie bookshops (plus £1 from each hardback goes to Shelter). That's a lot of good being done ❤️

An excellent piece by my colleague Jasper at Bookshop.org - the explosive growth of the pre-order market over recent years has left many booksellers out in the cold. It's not hard to build a pre-order playbook that includes indies and the benefits are many and significant.




Happy pub day (think was Tuesday? ) to Emily Buchanan and her book 'Send Flowers'. A bright, fresh voice in the burgeoning Climate Fiction genre. Prescient AF in that it shows a world where protest is banned, yet still funny and uplifting. Bravo! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/send-f…

One Tree Books is a Petersfield institution, a bookshop not only loved by its community, but admired and celebrated across the book trade. BookBrunch has provided this page with ways to support the shop while it establishes an alternative location to continue trading.


Congratulations Margaret McDonald and her editors Alice Swan and Ama Badu, winners of the 2025 #branfordboaseaward for outstanding debut novel for young people with GLASGOW BOYS Faber Books branfordboaseaward.org.uk
