Working as a bookseller is full of delights, including access to advance reader copies. The list below is reflective of the winter / spring 2022 books that Team Booksweet is really excited about – and that we think you might like too.
Plan Yourself a Happy Dance Moment: Pre-Order
Pre-orders are a really nice way to plant little seeds of joy in your life. Plan that happy dance now. Your future self will thank you for it.
How to pre-order: chat with us in the shop or pre-order online. When shopping online, just “add to cart” like you normally would and it will create a pre-order in our system. This ensures that on the release date, you’ll have a copy waiting for you in the shop with your name on it. A member of Team Booksweet will call or email you to let you know it’s arrived. You’ll do a happy dance. Win win.
