Description

Learn how to be strong, think strong and be strong for others with everyone’s favourite Gladiator – Fury!

I love being a strong girl. This book is one big celebration of strong girls because being a strong girl is a vibe. It’s our vibe. I’m so proud and happy that we get to be strong together.

Jodie Ounsley is a Gladiator, an England Rugby player, an inspirational role model for deaf people, and an author too! Following on from her debut book, Keep Smashing It, Jodie wants to show YOU how to be strong in lots of different ways. Written with journalist Becky Grey, Strong Girls is full of stories from Jodie’s life, key profiles on her own role models, as well as advice on how to find your own strength and celebrate it.

Because you are already strong; you just might not know it yet.

It will show you how to:

  • Develop a strong mindset
  • Use your strength to support others
  • Smash any obstacles that come your way

Let’s do this.

The Global Stories Book Club!🌍

We're excited to announce the first book of our Global Stories Book Club - The Jamaica Road by Lisa Smith. πŸ“š

limited spaces to ensure intimate conversation! ✨

About the Book:

A transformative love story about two best friends who fall for each other, fall apart, and try to find their way back together in their tight-knit British-Jamaican community.

South London, 1981: Daphne is the only Black girl in her class. All she wants is to keep her head down, preferably in a book. The easiest way to survive is to go unnoticed. 

Daphne’s attempts at invisibility are upended when a boy named Connie Small arrives from Jamaica. Connie is the opposite of small in every lanky, outgoing, and unapologetically himself. Daphne tries to keep her distance, but Connie is magnetic, and they form an intense bond. As they navigate growing up in a volatile, rapidly changing city, their families become close, and their friendship begins to shift into something more complicated. When Connie reveals that he and his mother β€œnuh land”—meaning they’re in England illegallyβ€”Daphne realizes that she is dangerously entangled in Connie’s fragile home life. Soon, long-buried secrets in both families threaten to tear them apart permanently.

Spanning one tumultuous decade, from the industrial docklands of the Thames to the sandy beaches of Calabash Bay, Jamaica Road is a deftly plotted and emotionally expansive debut novel about race and class, the family you’re born with and the family you choose, and the limits of what true love can really conquer.

Wednesday 2nd September | 6pm - 7pm

POV: Laura is leaving the bookshop and we are simply expected to carry on like nothing happened??? be so fr 😭

After MONTHS of iconic service, endless book recs, chaotic shifts, questionable coffee runs and approximately 7 million β€œhave you seen Laura?” moments, our girl is officially OUT. πŸ‘‹

The bookshop will never be the same. The vibes? Altered. The group chat? Devastated. The shelves? Personally offended. πŸ“š

Laura, thank you for being an absolute legend. We’re gonna miss your face, your energy, your banter and your ability to somehow know exactly which book someone needs. πŸ’›
