“I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Our Subscription Service
The recipient of the Shrew Books subscription will receive one book a month for three, six or twelve months, each title recommended by Shrew Books and tailored to the subscriber's tastes after an introductory chat over email or in person. The subscription will be sent out, or available in store, in the first week of each month.
Just add a few brief initial preferences to get the ball rolling in the comment section when purchasing(would you/the recipient prefer to receive only fiction or non-fiction, or a mix of both? Do you/they just hate handling hardbacks? Do you/they love or loathe sci-fi and fantasy? How about a grizzly thriller, or a lofty romance? Are you/they fascinated by nature? Or food?)
You'll receive a prompt with the first book for a more in-depth chat about preferences, but don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
“I love my Shrew subscriptions. I often find myself too tired or fried to summon any enthusiasm for reading, but having your picks arrive every month - they’re always so well chosen, there’s always something in every one to capture my imagination - just fires me up again until I’m remembering all these other books that I can’t wait to read, and it feels like a joy again.” - Kirsty
