Hey book lovers 👋

A new episode of The Bibliotherapists podcast is available for you to listen to right now! 🎙️

This week we chatted to the lovely and very witty writer and bookseller who shared stories about how she opened a bookshop, launched her Substack “Receipts From The Bookshop” and landed a book deal!

In this conversation we spoke about:

📚 Why reading isn’t “therapy” for everyone

📚 The surprise bookshop and how it became both a dream and a distraction

📚 How running a bookshop shaped her identity as a writer (and also paused it for five years)

📚The reality of building a Substack from zero with consistency

📚 How Receipt from the Bookshop began as a last-minute post and became a book deal

And so much more!

You can listen via Substack or your download the episode via your preferred podcast channel.

Next up is joining us live on Substack on Wednesday April 1st at 11am.

When was the last time you read without feeling guilty?

Without checking your phone?

Without feeling like you should be doing something more productive?

If you’re in need of guilt free resting and reading, time to be at one with nature, meet likeminded book lovers then why not join us between 13-16 November 2026 in the most stunning location

Expect a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend, perfectly created for women who LOVE books but rarely give themselves time to actually read them.

This is your invitation to slow down, pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read, and remember what it feels like to lose yourself in a story.

No schedules.
No productivity pressure.
No guilt.
Just you, a stack of books, and the sound of nature.

It’s a retreat designed for book lovers! But also for women who are craving the opportunity to indulge in the slowness and the stillness.

This isn’t a book club.

It’s not a reading challenge.

It’s a sanctuary for women who’ve forgotten what it feels like to read for pleasure without the world demanding their attention.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF:

📚You love books but can’t remember the last time you read one without distraction

📚You have a stack of unread books by your bed taunting you

📚You start books but never finish them because life gets in the way

📚You miss the feeling of being completely absorbed in a story

📚You feel guilty taking time to “just read”

📚You’re exhausted and need rest, but also crave something nourishing for your soul

📚You want permission to do nothing but rest and read without judgment

📚You’re a book lover who’s forgotten what it feels like to have time for books

If you’re nodding yes to the above, this retreat is for YOU!

Go on treat yourself! You can even spread the cost over monthly payments.

Lots of you have been asking me why I’ve launched a PenPal Club?

Good question, it’s quite simple…

Because it’s rebellious!

In a world of instant everything, choosing to write a letter by hand, deliver by snail mail and wait for a reply, is an act of resistance.

Would you like to join my “Being-Human Club” aka The PenPal Club? If yes, see the link that I’ve dropped into the comments for more info on how to join
