Dear Friends -
Although I’ve been working at Northshire since 2013, my first time attending our annual Booktopia festival in Manchester didn’t come until 2022. I’d heard about it from colleagues of course - it’s a massive labor of love and also one of the most joyously bookish weekends of our calendar year.
That first year I was just blown away by the incredible community that has developed around this annual event.
I’m really excited about this year’s lineup of festival authors. So far, I’ve read three of the nine featured books (and loved them all!) - and bookstore colleagues have read and enjoyed the rest.
This year we’ve also added a special Sunday afternoon capstone with Chris Bohjalian, to celebrate his new book The Princess of Las Vegas. You can buy a ticket that includes just that event, or join us for longer that weekend to get to hear from the rest of the Booktopia authors.
As Nicole Ihasz, one of Northshire’s owners recently said, “I had so much fun at Booktopia last year, and I can't wait to welcome this year's amazing group of readers and writers back to the store! There are so many wonderful books this year, including Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy, which stole my heart.”
We hope you'll register to join us in Manchester on April 26-28!
Best wishes,
Rachel, Director of Events
