With Lockdown 2 having started for those of us in the UK a couple of days ago, books and other forms of sanity keeping entertainment that we can have at home are more important than ever.
I was lucky enough to be able to visit my local bookshop on Monday with my children where we all chose a book each (the house is already stuffed with books but another one never hurts!)
I was delighted to find a signed copy of ‘Here is the Beehive’ by Sarah Crossan which has been on my list go buy since I heard it publishing earlier this year. I love the cover design it’s really beautiful.
For those of you wondering the kids chose Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz (excellent choice from my eldest, it’s being enjoyed already). Oi! Duck-Billed Platypus was chosen by the smaller one, another brilliant pick, such a wonderful picture book series and a joy to read!
Did you visit a bookshop before lockdown? What did you choose?
Mug Full of Books 
Love the photo 🙂 Stormbreaker is excellent, I remember buying it from Waterstones c.2001.
Thanks! Stormbreaker is excellent, I remember reading them years ago. This particular copy made me feel old as it had a ‘20 years of Alex Rider’ sticker on it!
Wow yes… Alex Rider should be about 34 now if he was a real person!
