After the success of last years drive (over 500 books!) we are so pleased to be collaborating with the @childrensbookproject for the second year in a row! 📚

Bring your preloved childrens books to store between the 23rd of May and the 20th of June and they will be gifted onwards to help tackle book poverty.

.
.
.

About the project:

One in three disadvantaged children across the UK has fewer than ten books of their own at home*, and one in ten has none.

The Children’s Book Project seeks to tackle book poverty and to give every child the opportunity to own their own book. We believe in empowering children to choose a book they are motivated to read and in the power of reading communities.

Just before Christmas 2025 a child in London, Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester chose and took home our two millionth book at one of their school’s gifting events. 

The challenge we are tackling is huge. Over one million UK children do not own a single book. At the same time, vast numbers of books are pulped each year because the system is not designed to keep them in circulation. We address both problems with a sustainable model that blends environmental responsibility with social impact, putting pre-loved books straight into the hands of children who will treasure them.

Lisa Owens will be joining us at House of Books and Friends on Wednesday 1st July to discuss her new title ‘Natural Disaster‘ and we can't wait! 🐍 📚

The evening will begin at 6pm, and involve a discussion, a Q&A, and a chance to get your book signed by Lisa! ✨

About the book:
For weeks, she has been saying it will be their special day. One last, perfect day with her children before she returns to work after maternity leave. What’s the worst that can happen?

Unfolding across 24 hours, Natural Disaster is a novel about the absurd, frustrating, hilarious, precarious, bittersweet, sometimes astonishing challenge – literal, existential – of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a person for one single, entire day.

To get tickets, check out the link in our bio! 🔗

In the lead up to summer you may find yourself leaning more towards shorter books that you can finish in one sitting. Here are some recommendations that are 200 pages or less that we believe are the perfect picks for train journeys, sitting on the beach, or simply filling your time in these longer evenings.🌻
Let us know if you have any other recommendations you think we have missed!📚
