SHOP NOW OPEN IN BOROUGHBRIDGE!
Welcome to Beloved Books UK, our small family-run business where we provide blind dates with a book for special occasions.
Hi, we’re Kez & Tom.
We have both loved reading as far back as we can remember. Personally, I (Kez) have devoured books since I was a young child when the mobile library, a bright yellow bus, used to stop outside my house on a weekly basis. My mum used to be amazed as I demolished up to six books a day. She wasn’t so pleased when I dropped a library book in the bath. Oops!
That love of reading led me into a career as an English teacher, with a specific focus on supporting children with SEND needs. Reading is my passion and I want to share that passion with everyone else.
Tom is completely on board with my love of reading and he has a TBR (to be read) stash almost as long as mine. His particular love is fantasy fiction which he is slowly converting me to. As a result of our shared passion, we have visited Hay on Wye (the book town of the UK) twice with a further visit booked in the coming months. Our ultimate goal is to own a book shop and we are just setting off on our journey.
Recently, Tom bought me a blind date with a book (three actually) and it ignited a spark in me as I was mesmerised by the thought and care that had gone into his gift choice and the seller’s product. His thoughtful gift was a real pick me up and he knew he was on to a winner as he went one step further with a mystery book box at Christmas.
At the moment, we have a fantastic opportunity to seize upon existing market appeal and ultimately put our own spin on it. We are both passionate about ensuring reading appeals to everyone, including young adults and children. From the start, we have been keen to ensure we provide a premium experience for the customer. One that is focused on gift-giving but remains affordable.
Our books are preloved, ensuring that we are mindful of the impact on the environment, whilst still being in excellent condition. We are keen to promote sustainability and to be eco-friendly.
The plan behind “Beloved Books UK” all along was to provide thoughtful, attractive gifts for special occasions.
We’re proud to say that everything you see on sale is sourced and packaged by us.
