EPISODE 09: Mandy Myles - Today on the podcast I'm speaking to the lovely Mandy Myles - owner of Bookety Book Books, a locally-owned online indie bookshop. Described as THE book club of book clubs, a sanctuary for the book-obsessed, Mandy curates a selection of books to challenge and inspire, to move and to shake. Her books are chosen from a wide and wonderfully diverse range authors from home or abroad. So, this episode is a little different to my previous interviews as Bookety Book Books only launched in August this year and Mandy is in the 'start up' phase of business. When I first started thinking about this podcast and what I wanted it to look like, I was really keen to interview women from business of many industries, of all shapes and sizes. When I first stumbled across Bookety Book Books on Instagram I was instantly attracted to the cool branding and the beautiful book selection and then I started thinking - who launched an online book store in the middle of a global pandemic?

This is the first interview I've done where I didn't know my guest at all beforehand. As a life-long fan of books and reading, I was instantly drawn to Mandy's business concept. I love that she has been really strategic with her business and with her branding (the packaging is such a delight!), marketing and PR and it was so interesting to hear all the logistics behind selling books. It's also really cool to hear that there is a trend seeing the return to the physical book instead of e-readers and millennials are leading the way.

My chat with Mandy was so interesting and has some great book recommendations at the end. I hope you enjoy!
