"I’m really looking forward to discovering new kinds of books I wouldn’t normally read, and being able to browse a local bookshop at my leisure with a cozy coffee in hand."

"Can't WAIT for Ritual Reads to open in Whitchurch! The vision behind the book and gift shop is brilliant and it will be such a great addition to our lovely market town. Amanda, the owner, is a beautiful power house that is living her dream! Her vision and style will shine through and make it a destination location that once seen, will be visited time and time again."
