Love Your Bookshop Day

The Personal Penguin figurine is back for its second year!

Following on from the success of the gift with purchase in 2024, this Love Your Bookshop Day a new penguin figurine will be available exclusively on Love Your Bookshop Day with the purchase of any two Penguin books from participating stores.

Love Your Bookshop Day, an initiative by BookPeople, is a day to celebrate our local bookshops and the integral role they play in our community. From personalised book recommendations to hosting a wide range of literary events, our local bookshops make an incredible impact on every reader’s book collection.

To participate, simply visit one of our participating bookshops on 11 October and buy two Penguin Books to receive your Personal Penguin at the counter.

You can find out which bookshops are participating by checking out our interactive map below. Simply scroll over the map to find your most convenient location.

Personal Penguins are only available while stocks last in each store. If you have the 2024 figurine, be sure to collect its buddy!
