Blue House Books

Buying our books:

If you want to order a book, delivered in the York area for free, just email us with details: karen@thebluehousebookshop.co.uk

We are part of bookshop.org which supports independent bookshops online. You can get to our page HERE‍ and books will be sent directly to you, at a cost that competes with the river people. They now also supply audiobooks‍

School discounts:

We support and advocate the Reading For Pleasure initiative encouraging children to read simply for the fun of it. We knock money off for bulk purchases, 25% off the first order and 20% off further orders. We also offer pop up shops for Parents’ Evenings and school fairs where the school gets a percentage of sales to use towards buying more books for the school through our shop.

Subscription service:

We have a bespoke subscription service for children and grown ups which makes a great birthday or Christmas present. They get three or six months of the latest published books home delivered. Or why not just for you?! For more on this click HERE

Courses and events, in and out of school:

We support creative writing courses and games workshops for 8-13 year olds.  Sarah and Jack coordinate all our courses and they usually take place at half term or school holidays, though sometimes we have a run of weekend courses too.  Find out more HERE‍ ‍

We can come along and run these at your school as well as illustrating sessions, chess teaching and storytelling. Email for more information by clicking HERE

Check out all the above in one of our newsletters on the Blog page to find out more details.
