Independent Children's Bookshop in Sittingbourne

#VisitingIndies is a bit of a hobby of mine. @fiveleavesbookshop in Nottingham was today's outing. I was immediately recognised as a bookseller because of my @nielsenbook face covering :D Fabulous selection of books, including ones hy their own press #FiveLeavesPublications. Eleanor chose Katy by @jacqueline_wilson_official and two #Yasmin books by @saadiafaruqi (illus @metahatem ) and I chose Viking Nottinghamshire by #rebeccagregory @babooksellers @book_tokens @booksaremybag #loveyourlocalbookshop (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ4vRqvLSri/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 19: Celebrating #IndieBookshopWeek Today is the start of Independent Bookshop Week, and the culmination of our #PhotoChallenge. Normally, IBW would be spent visiting schools and nurseries and playgroups and generally being out and about bringing you fun books and event activities. Just because we can't get out to you, doesn't mean the fun stops! We'll be uploading and sharing activities and book links all week, so please like or follow us! We also have several of our #HighFiveForBookshops vouchers left - one per family - which will get you a FREE £5 Book Token (to spend at #NickelBooks or any local independent bookshop), so please contact me to get your code! #IndieBookshopLife #amongthebookshelves @amongthebookshelves #IBW2021 #IndieBookshopWeek #IndependentBookshopWeek #IBW #summerbooks #readingforsummer #summerbookscatalogue #bookshopsummer #indiebookseller #indiesummer #choosebookshops #summerreading #shoplocal #shopindependent @babooksellers @book_tokens @booksaremybag #loveyourlocalbookshop #shoplocal #booksaremybag #bamb #bookstagram #booksofinstagram @sittingbournelife #sendmybook #nickelbooks #thisweekeleanorloves #ShopLocalShopIndependent (at Sittingbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQTDfZaLTw5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 17: Tell me you're a bookseller without telling me you're a bookseller. "Oh, that book looks interesting, I'll buy that and try a recipe to post it on my page...." It's delicious, by the way! @allegramcevedy #IndieBookshopLife #amongthebookshelves @amongthebookshelves #IBW2021 #IndieBookshopWeek #IndependentBookshopWeek #IBW #summerbooks #readingforsummer #summerbookscatalogue #bookshopsummer #indiebookseller #indiesummer #choosebookshops #summerreading #shoplocal #shopindependent @babooksellers @book_tokens @booksaremybag #loveyourlocalbookshop #shoplocal #booksaremybag #bamb #bookstagram #booksofinstagram @sittingbournelife #sendmybook #nickelbooks #thisweekeleanorloves #ShopLocalShopIndependent https://www.instagram.com/p/CQO03eHLedr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 14: it's the little things. We've got some new chickens, one of which is a bantam. As well as being a tiny hen, she lays tiny eggs!
