Celebrate Love Your Book Shop Day

Follow your heart to your local bookshop on Saturday 10 October 2026

Love Your Bookshop Day is back on Saturday 10 October, celebrating bookshops, booksellers and the conversations that lead us to great books. This year, we’re asking readers to step away from the algorithms and ask a bookseller.

Booksellers know that finding your next great read isn’t always about what’s trending or what everyone else is reading. A conversation with a bookseller can introduce you to a new author, an unexpected favourite or exactly the right book at exactly the right time.

That’s the idea behind our 2026 theme: Ask a bookseller. Shake up your shelf.

Whether you read all the time, want to get back into reading, need something completely different or are searching for the perfect gift, your local bookseller is a very good place to start.
