When Yesteryear started flying off our shelves, the majority of us at HOBAF needed to see what the hype was all about - causing an accidental 7 person buddy read!😀
We were surprised to find that our average staff rating was 3.8/5! ⭐
Comment your opinions on Yesteryear and the format you read it

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated their preloved childrens books to our book drive with the @childrensbookproject

We are very happy to be sending off 100 books to new homes which wouldn't be possible without our wonderful community of bookworms. THANK YOU! 💛

How STUNNING is the cover of 'Pick a Colour' by Souvankham Thammavongsa?

Our booksellers had to spread the nail love 💅

About the book:

Ning is a retired boxer, but to the customers who visit her nail salon, she is just another worker named Susan. On this summer's day, much like any other, the Susans buff and clip and polish and tweeze. They listen and smile and nod. But beneath this superficial veneer, Ning is a woman of rigorous intellect and profound depth. A woman enthralled by the intricacy and rhythms of her work, but also haunted by memories of paths not taken and opportunities lost. A woman navigating the complicated power dynamics among her fellow Susans, whose greatest fears and desires lie just behind the gossip they exchange.

As the day's work grinds on, the friction between Ning's two identities – as anonymous manicurist and brilliant observer of her own circumstances – will gather electric and crackling force, and at last demand a reckoning with the way the world of privilege looks at a woman like Ning.
