Bookety Book Books is here!

It’s independent and online, and it ticks all the boxes for your next book club. 

Bookety Book Books launched in mid-August, a thrill for owner Mandy Myles who, like most of us, enjoys the experience that a physical book has to offer. When her shipment of books arrived, she “had a good few minutes of just smelling the books”, saying “it was so tempting to just sit down and read them all”. 

Visiting Bookety Book Books’ website is exciting in itself, and beyond its beautiful aesthetic lies a purpose that global online retailers can’t deliver on – knowing that all of the books are handpicked by a book lover (Mandy). 

Although reading is solitary, the social aspect of discussing books is a favourite pastime for many. Mandy has already nailed this through her Instagram where book devotees follow along to read her thoughts, and they can now participate in reviews online

There is something for everyone on Bookety Book Books, our non-fiction favourites being:
