💫 Did you know we run a subscription service? 💫

Look at this huge pile - and this isn’t even all of them! We have more subscribers than ever before and it’s so popular that our subscribers often go on to renew their subscription themselves or buy one for someone else.

What stands us apart from other subscriptions?

💛 We spend a LOT of time choosing books that are perfect for you, based on our detailed questionnaire.
💛 Because we read so many books between us, it really helps us to choose the best books based on what else you have read and what you enjoy.
💛 Our subscriptions are suitable for ages 0-99! No matter your age or taste, we’ll find the right books for you.

We send subscriptions all over the UK and we love it when we finally get to meet someone who we’ve only known from their subscription - it’s like seeing an old friend 🥰

You can sign up on our website or in the shop and we’ll give you the questionnaire and a card to give to the person you are buying for (and it’s fine if you’re buying one for yourself!)

Who would you like to receive a subscription from? 💛

The Ghosts of Rome is Joseph O’Connor’s magnif

The Ghosts of Rome is Joseph O’Connor’s magnificent sequel to My Father’s House. Set in occupied Rome, it follows the continuing battle between the assorted members of ‘the Choir’, resistance fighters drawn from all walks of life, with the Gestapo commander determined to stop them.

Tense, brutal and fast-paced, this is a superb book and James’ first ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book of the year!

We have two signed copies left at £20.

Thank you so much @niylafarook for joining us yest

Thank you so much @niylafarook for joining us yesterday on school visits.

We learnt all about Niyla’s inspiration for Murder for Two and how her writing career started. It was great for us all to meet someone from not too far away who has made it as an author. We loved hearing all about the children’s own ideas for stories too - maybe we have a few authors in the making in Holmfirth!

Signed copies are in the shop now 💛

It’s hard to describe this book without giving t

It’s hard to describe this book without giving too much away… but this is a very clever, funny and well observed book for anyone who likes books about people’s real lives.

On paper, George has everything going for him. But he doesn’t ever quite seem to fulfil his potential. Whether it’s his work, his relationships or just his family, he always seems to be disappointed and to disappoint others.

We follow George from the age of 12 all the way up to his late thirties. On one hand it is a coming of age novel but it’s also a look at society, expectations and the realities of modern life.

There are laugh out loud moments; for instance when viewing an apartment in Manhattan his girlfriend tries to convince him that having chickens in the yard would be a good thing. “They’re very low maintenance.” his girlfriend tells him.

On the other hand, it is also a poignant book about hopes and dreams and how we view our own successes.

George will drive you mad and you will want to shout at him… but it’s a really original book that hasn’t had enough recognition yet.

Louise really enjoyed this book. We have five copies in the shop at £16.99 💛

Piglet’s life revolves around food. She is a coo

Piglet’s life revolves around food. She is a cookery writer who spends lots of time cooking and more importantly loves eating those meals with her fiancé. But no matter what she cooks or eats nothing quite seems to satisfy her… is it to do with more than just the food? A clever, funny and poignant book about finding out who you really are. Louise loved this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (£9.99)

But: Life Isn’t Like That, Is It? is a new colle

But: Life Isn’t Like That, Is It? is a new collection of stories by Boff Whalley, musician, author, and one of the founding members of the anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba and Commoners Choir.

These are stories about real lives, real people, and real life. Stuttering, wayward, disjointed, funny, ridiculous, and unplanned.

To coincide with the release of ‘But’, Boff is touring both the UK and USA, visiting bookshops and venues to talk about, and sing, the stories that make up the book.

The event will be part reading, part gig and part conversation, Boff will play songs from a lifetime of writing and making music, songs which chime with the book, and will draw from a personal history of creative activism.

We’re delighted to be welcoming Boff to the shop on Thursday 13th March at 7.30pm!

Tickets are £5 and are redeemable towards a copy of the book on the evening. Find them on our website here https://to-be-read.co.uk/books/an-evening-with-boff-whalley/ or just pop into the shop for tickets 💛

💛 We’re open today with Eleanor from 11-3 💛
