Dad's Day on Sunday


..camping...fishing...building...war stories...history...biographies..sci fi....cooking...prize winners...romance??? We have it all. If you can't decide, grab a gift voucher for you Pa to show you think he's tops!
A + I purchased his Dad a cheesey mug that claims "World's #1 Dad!", + a georgous book entitled "Me + my Dad" which I hope will encourage Dadda to read to his little frog a tad more frequently!

GET READING!


It's that time of year again! Pop into the bookshop and grab a title off this years best list of books, and you will receive a free book!

Offer for all of September, or while stocks last. Go on, come in. at least for a chat...it's been so quiet! (bring coffee!)

seasons come and go...


This year has flown by and seasons have come and gone. Already it is spring again! Thank goodness this cold cold winter has passed and the blossoms and bulbs are now sprouting. One terrific event has occurred - our dam is full! To the brim! The rain has poured and poured which has meant more time for reading...

...To Kill a Mockingbird...alltime classic and what a reminder to us about the morals of humans and the kindness and patience that i hope to instill in my little Archie...

...The Children's Book..oh, i didnt finish it...such a long trial...fantastic recommendation for a reader who loves historical fiction, but waaaaayyy to much for my tired brain to cope with right now... ( and i detest not finishing a book!)

...Mammamia...hmmm well, waiting for the sections on motherhood. The magazine components are a tad light to keep me interested...

Recent reads....

Not much time for reading with a little bubbie to look after, and with two bookclubs to keep up with, my oh my, I'm feeling the need to read....
This year I have managed to slowly trawl through:
- The Carrie Diaries...yes, say no more
- Cloud Street, Tim Winton, love it!
- ...cripes, I cannot even remember...will have to go and look in the bookshelf.
Where did my memory go?

reading, the first to go... :(

Piles and piles of books beside my bed, more in the bookshop to devour, alas,
why is it that when you are tired, the first thing to cross off the list, is reading? Since Archie arrived in January Ive read one book, and oh, i miss it so!

We're back!!!!!

Has it been 8 months since our last blog? Deary me, where did last year go?
We might have an excuse! The newest addition to the Little Dog Bookshop...
INTRODUCING...(drumroll please....)..................
little Archie John

The sweetest little miracle of all. He too, fits in entirety, on a bookshelf, just like Wags the dog used to. Alas, one day Archie too will be too big - already he has grown and he is only 3 months old!!!
