Taller Books comes to Hay-On-Wye!

Amazing news! Our books are now stocked in some fantastic bookshops in the world’s first Book Town, Hay-on-Wye!

For LGBTQ+ YA novel Angels, head to Gay-On-Wye at 3 Lion Street. This gorgeous shop is a a sanctuary where the LGBTQ+ community and its allies can find literature that resonates with their experiences, challenges and triumphs. We’re thrilled that they have added Angels to their shelves!

For copies of Battle Ground, you’re spoiled for choice!

First on the bookshop trail, next to the Oxford Road Car Park, is the Hay Cinema Bookshop. You’ll find children’s and YA books in the entrance hall, and in the first section, just behind the front desk.

Next on the Battle Ground trail is Richard Booth’s Bookshop. This absolutely stunning shop sells new and second-hand books, and might be my new favourite place to be unsupervised in a bookstore. Check out the huge YA section on the ground floor, and the sci-fi and graphic novel section in the basement. As if that’s not enough – if you’re feeling creative, you’ll also find art supplies and fabric at the back of the shop. I’m not sure how I made it out of there without emptying my bank account!

Just up the street is Addyman Books, a warren of small rooms packed with new and second-hand books at seriously great prices. I may have spent more than I planned to in here …

Last but not least, right in the centre of town, you’ll find the friendly folks at Green Ink Booksellers. Their children’s and YA section is downstairs, and there are sci-fi and graphic novels next to the stairs on the ground floor.

There are so many wonderful bookshops in Hay-on-Wye, but these are the shops where you’ll find our books. If you’re visiting, plan to stay in town for a full day – and save up before you go! It is all far too tempting …

A reminder of the blurb:
The LGBTQ+ YA story you’ve been waiting for: friendship, identity, attraction, disasters … and finding your wings.

Angels have lived among us for as long as we can remember. They don’t have powers, but they do have wings. They’ve always hidden their wings, and who they are – until Kane.

Melodie Abbott remembers the day she saw Kane’s taboo-shattering billboard. A beautiful model showing his wings on Oxford Street, on a photo as tall as a building.

When sixteen-year-old Mel finally meets her idol, disaster strikes. Can she find a way to free herself from his shadow, and what will her future hold?

Angels is a coming-of-age story, a university heartbreak novel with a twist, a celebration of friendship and desire, and an exploration of attraction, identity and self-expression.

It takes courage to find your wings …

Happy reading!
