A hilarious tale of female friendship, bookshops and fighting for a cause - perfect for fans of Holly Bourne and Louise Rennison. Bennett's Bookshop has always been a haven for sixteen-year-old Paige Turner. It's a place where she can escape from her sleepy hometown, hang out with her best friend, Holly, and also earn some money. But, like so many bookshops, Bennett's has become a 'casualty of the high street' - it's strapped for cash and going to be torn down. Paige is determined to save it but mobilising a small town like Greysworth is no mean feat. Time is ticking - but that's not the only problem Paige has. How is she going to fend off the attractions of beautiful fellow artist, Blaine? And, more importantly, will his anarchist ways make or break her bookshop campaign? Written by debut author and Foyles bookseller Chloe Coles, this is the first in a new laugh-out-loud and sparky teen series that will make you want to rush out and start your own bookshop campaign!

I wrote about 10 useful skills for working in a bookstore over on Book Riot https://bookriot.com/2019/11/04/10-useful-skills-for-working-as-a-bookseller/

Oblomov26 Love the smell of books; love a second hand bookshop - the sense of possibilities, that book you need even though you do do not know it, hidden in plain sight (edited) 4y
Chrissyreadit Great article. One day I‘m going to do a bookstore crawl in DC. 4y

Does anyone else feel an overwhelming sense of discovery in a bookstore? So many stories, characters, journeys, and worlds all in one place. Lucky me to be able to work in this beauty! 😍

#FallIntoReading Day 23: My #ShopTilYouDrop moment while in Firenze and Verona last year, because admittedly my best shopping experience is book shopping forever and ever Amen.

The hubby and I visited St. Louis this weekend, and I was finally able to go to Left Bank Books. Spent quite a bit of time browsing, met the bookstore kitty, bought four books (two signed!), and enjoyed every minute. Great bookshop! #LeftBankBooks #Indie #ShopSmall

Pamwurtzler That‘s a great bookstore! We also like to visit The Novel Neighbor when we‘re there. Try that next time you‘re there. 6y
AlaMich I love bookstore kitties! I think it should be a requirement for bookstores. I would be okay with bookstore puppies too. 😻🐶 6y
Leftcoastzen Oh I would love to go there! So glad you had such a great experience.📚😻 6y

Bennett's book shop is being closed down but Paige Turner has other plans. She is going to fight to save it with her best friend but can they do it?

This was a sweet short read but it's very much on the younger side of YA. The language is more in keeping with the younger generation so would definitely be an idea read for them. The story was good though and I liked the ending. I had figured out Blaine' s role in the story though.

Suet624 Was it a page turner? With the main character being named a Paige Turner I have to assume so. 😀 6y
kezzlou85 @Suet624 🤣it was very much the page turner. 6y

#FRIYAYINTRO @jesshowbooks
1: forgetting my work shoes so having to use the good ones I had on instead and my lunch that day as well.
2: Not sure they have a Target here.
3: ooh tricky one. Bookshop girl sounds really good.
4: beans on toast.
5: @sudi @miralunasbooknook @Captivatedbybooks and anyone else who has yet to take part.
Thanks for the tag @jhod

JoScho What kind of beans do you eat on toast? That was something they ate in my current read and I was curious. 6y
TrishB Good one beans on toast 👍🏻 6y
TrishB @JoScho if it‘s UK it will be baked beans on toast - for me has to be Heinz 😁 6y

kezzlou85 @TrishB yep you're right it's baked beans on toast and oh yes Heinz all the way. 6y
kezzlou85 @JoScho it's a common meal over here especially for students. I'm not anymore but find it a simple and filling meal. Cheap too. 6y
TrishB And even better with a bit of grated cheese 😁 6y
JoScho @TrishB I think it sounds delicious! 6y
kezzlou85 @TrishB but of course has to have some cheese. 6y
kezzlou85 @JoScho it really is. Still a fave meal of mine. It was what my Dad used to give me and my brother when mum was at work. He'd throw all sorts on it like cheese, ham, chicken etc. 6y
