Nature, Biography and Travel books all seem to be very popular in our shop, so we’ve done a display with books that mostly span all three genres 🌳 🚲

One happy school! 🤩

We also have this book on the shelves because Volume 1 was a hit 😆

Very happy publication day to Elle McNicoll ✍🏻📚 - I had the pleasure of reading both A Kind of Spark and Keedie, and they are superb!

For anyone who read AKOS and wants to know more about Addie’s firecracker of an older sibling, this book absolutely delivers!

Just a heads-up that we’ll be closing at 1pm tomorrow for some electrical work, which will mean the lighting will be on and off periodically.

We’ll be back as normal from 10am on Thursday 💡

An old interview with Quinns Bookshop Market Harborough refreshed and added to the Ko-Fi and Indie Bookshops website

So pleased to see my book, The Essential Companion to Talking Therapy, in our local bookshop: Quinns Bookshop Market Harborough

We’ve had a bug hotel, bulbs and a box FULL of plant pots donated by the generous people at Love of Houseplants on Harborough Market for our Green Space project 🌱 🤩

IT’S TOMORROW! 📚 🦖

Come to the shop tomorrow morning between 10am and 12pm to meet author Jane Clarke (Rex Stone), author of the Dinosaur Club series, get your book signed, design your own dinosaur and pick up a free shark tooth fossil! 🦈

World Book Day UK 📚 DK Books UK

Every year I build our World Book Day stand and every time I have to take it to bits because I’ve done it wrong… NOT THIS YEAR! 🎉 Built, sorted and filled between serving customers in about 45 minutes total 🙌

A local school based in Leicestershire is looking for a published children’s author to go to their primary school on World Book Day. I know this is mega late notice but is anyone free?!

To celebrate the release of On the Trail of a T-Rex for World Book Day, come along to the shop to meet author Jane Clarke (aka Rex Stone), creator of the Dinosaur Club book series, and design your very own dinosaur!
 
This event is free to attend and there's no need to book.

What a fantastic idea! If you want to do a good thing for your local bookshop (us!) and the wonderful BookTrust you can browse our list of recommended children’s and teen’s books here: uk.bookshop.org/lists/children…?

You’ve played the games, now read the books!

If you know someone who’s mad about Minecraft or crazy about Roblox, we’ve got you covered with gift ideas, from the Press Start early reader graphic novels to instructional and inspirational handbooks to 2024 annuals…

For anyone who missed out in a copy of The History of Market Harborough Volume 1, IT’S BACK! 👏

Hopefully followed by Volume 2 some time in 2024…

Beautiful hardback classic books, and books about… well, books 😅

Some of these editions cost as little as £8.99 - I think that’s a bit of a bargain! 🌟

Is anyone spending time with family this festive season and wondering how to subtly let them know when you need a bit of time to yourself?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! 🤭 😂

#goawayimreading

Nature books are always extremely popular here at Quinns, and fungi is becoming an increasingly interesting topic as we’re discovering how important they are for our ecosystem.

I would put more titles on this table, but unfortunately there isn’t “mushroom”… 🍄
