Are YOU excited about romance fiction and our romance fiction festival FIRST DATE? Do you want to get involved behind the scenes? First Date 2024 is on 14-15 June. We could use a few extra hands to help our team make it extra special: lighthousebookshop.com/posts/volunt...

A square banner with a hazy yellow and pink background. The text says First Date Festival Volunteer Call Out. Above it is an illustration of four open hands with hearts in different colours in the middle of them.

What happens when we take psychology out of the individual/clinical and into politics/ social justice, where it always belonged? Here's a reading list! Join us in launching Colonised Minds by @akiraoc.bsky.sociallighthousebookshop.com/posts/coloni...

Owner of Lighthouse Mairi stands in the shop holding a stack of books with Colonised Minds face out on top. Only her eyes and nose are visible above the book. She's wearing a green corduroy shirt and has short ginger hair.
