Bags of Books, is an independent children’s bookshop based in Lewes, East Sussex.
We feel passionately about helping children to find great quality books that will inspire them to become readers for life. We seek out those really great children’s books that we know kids (and parents!) will love… We know that sharing books with children is a wonderful and important thing to do and if you can't visit our bookshop then we hope this website is the next best thing. If you have any questions or need any help please don't hesitate to contact us on 01273 479320
This year we have decided to challenge ourselves to read our height in books. Many of our customers ask us if we read ALL the books in the shop. Well here’s your chance to see just how many we read.
We have decided to review and log all the books that we read (well, the children’s and YA ones) so that you can see what we think of them. At the end of the year we will pile them up and see if we’ve hit our targets.
Why don’t you join in with us? We would love to see your photos, tag us on Instagram, @bagsofbookslewes.

It was such a pleasure to see my Grandchildren’s faces when they opened their My Year of Books on Christmas Day. This is a gift that gives on giving!! Rachel, Nika and Jo definitely know how to chose the right books.

Grumpy Grampa bought us a Year of Books for Xmas and it has been really great getting a book every month. Lily really likes Isadora Moon and the Adventure Club. Felix always likes his books and I have enjoyed all my books especially Young Sherlock.

We bought a one-year book subscription for our daughter’s 10th birthday and it has been one of the most successful presents yet! Every month she looks forward to getting her book in the post, and is always thrilled with the choice. Once she has read it, she can’t wait until the next one! She loves the idea that someone has chosen the book for her and is reading more now than she has before. Thanks so much to you all.

My son is enjoying his 4th Year of Books subscription. The book choices are interesting and diverse and come wrapped up every month, which by son adores. It’s a fantastic gift for any book worm like mine and I highly recommend it!

Cleo has enjoyed her book subscription very much and looks forward to receiving her book in the post each month. Some of the books she has read on her own and others she puts aside for us to read together so it has made our time together even more special.
