What a beautiful day in Belfast! ☀️ If you're out and about, come on in for a respite~ it's a calm, cozy atmosphere, and we've got lots of comfortable chairs for a little break.

🌿🌼🐦 Get ready for Spring: We've got a whole lot of EARTH SKY WATER waterproof foldable field guides! These guides are excellent and fit nicely into a backpack, and make great gifts for nature lovers. Wildflowers, whales, birds, seashells, trees, wild edibles, constellations, owls, and many more!

As a bookseller, I can 100% confirm this is how it feels. Bonus points if it has my "staff picks" bokmark in it. 😆📚

❤️✌️ Have you visited our Young Adults section? We carry the classics like "His Dark Materials," "The Hunger Games," & "Anne of Green Gables," as well as popular newer titles like "Shadow and Bone," "Girl in Pieces," & "Carry On." (AND we have FREE stickers for your waterbottle, laptop, or Stanley 💯)
