Your Friday Update from B For Butterfly Books: Friday 2nd October 2026

October 2, 2026

IT'S OFFICIALLY QUARTER 4 IN THE WORLD OF RETAIL WHICH MEANS WE'RE HEADING INTO THE BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR!

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY SPECIFIC TITLES OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS PLEASE GET IN TOUCH SOONER RATHER THAN LATER TO BEAT THE INEVITABLE LAST MINUTE RUSH!

This week's FIVER FRIDAY offer is a very special picture book from the youngest presidential inaugural poet in US history.

CHANGE SINGS by Amanda Gorman and Loren Long is a triumphant call to action for everyone to use their abilities to make a difference.

I love the autumnal colours on the cover - perfect for the start of October.

These hardback copies were originally priced at £12.99 and are available at £5 (plus £4 postage if required) this weekend only.

Over the next few weeks we'll be bringing you some of the findings from our Bookshop Survey.

PAPER SISTERS by Rachel Canwell tells the story of three sisters and a forgotten hospital, trapped on the edge of a marsh. It's the perfect historical novel to cosy up with as we slide into autumn!

It was lovely to welcome Susan Brownrigg to the shop yesterday to sign copies of her brand new novel THE SECRET OF ABNEY HALL.

“Agatha Christie has been found. After a mysterious eleven-day disappearance, the world's most famous crime writer is whisked away to Abney Hall, Cheadle to recover. But for her private nurse, Jane Goodbetter, the retreat is anything but peaceful.”

Signed copies are now available to purchase in the shop and online.
