The Rye Bookshop

Leaning away from spotters guides and, instead, marvelling at the beauty and found philosophy of birdlife, The Book of Birds by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris, and Bird School by Adam Nicolson are two essential new books on the natural world.

Book lovers filled The Rye Retreat last night to hear personal trainer and Kent resident Elizabeth Davies talk about her health and lifestyle book, Training For Your Old Lady Body.

Across the evening, a packed crowd heard her deconstruct the misinformation and destructive messaging of the female fitness industry before going on to explain how incremental but consistent change could lead to better long-term female health.

It was a fascinating and busy evening, which saw us sell all the copies of her book that we had in stock. But, we can always get some more. Pop into The Rye Bookshop to order your copy.

We’ve just had a visit from the lovely who stopped by to sign her new picture book, Rock and Roll. Come and pick up a copy in store and chortle along at the antics of this fun pairing.
