Helloooooo lovely people ✨

I hope you’ve all had an amazing week—if not, don’t worry, I’ve got just the thing to brighten your day 📚💫

Today’s YA recommendation is a book with a stunning cover and an even more beautiful story… The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree by Paola Peretti 🌸

This book felt so refreshing and deeply real. It follows a young girl who is gradually losing her sight, and the way her story unfolds is nothing short of poetic. It’s heartfelt, gentle, and incredibly moving—one of those reads that quietly stays with you long after you’ve finished.

It’s an easy read, but don’t be fooled—it packs an emotional punch. Bittersweet, tender, and yes… a little gut-wrenching 💔

Overall, it was everything I hoped for and more, and I just know many of you will love it too.

This is available as an eBook or Audiobook via Borrowbox. Download the app from your app store now and register for free with your library card.

Have an amazing day!
Bye for now! 👋

Just imagine if you had the chance to tell your hero just how much they meant to you?
That's what our favourite kind and funny person Mackenzie Crook explores in his lovely book, his first for adults, expressed through an imaginary visit from the late, great singer-songwriter Nick Drake. And he's illustrated it himself.
We love his children's books as well!

This spring, step off the train and into a world of giants, piskies, mermaids and magic in Our Great Little City.

Launching on the 31st March, the brand new Cornish Myths & Legends exhibition at Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery brings nine legendary tales to life with art, artefacts and interactive moments for all ages ✨

Perfectly timed with Great Western Railway’s Five and the Dragon Quest campaign, celebrating the legendary places across the network, it’s never been easier to follow the myths to their source 🚆

From ancient standing stones to long-celebrated feasts and festivals, Cornwall’s heritage is steeped in stories that are waiting to be discovered… and Truro is the perfect place to begin your quest.
