Theodore and the Enchanted Bookstore Series + Giveaway

This post is in collaboration with Incorgnito Publishing Press. I received these books as gifts, however, all opinions are truthful and my own. Read below to find out how to enter the giveaway.

As you guys know, J & I don’t have kids yet, but that has never stopped me from acting like one whenever I see anything Corgi related. From pillows to socks to pajamas to coffee mugs, I fangirl hard each time I see something new. Along with Corgis, I also enjoy large glasses of wine, cooking, and especially reading. When Incorgnito Publishing Press reached out to me to help spread the word about their new “Corgi Bits” series Theodore and the Enchanted Bookstore, I jumped at the opportunity.

TheodoreandTheEnchantedBookstoreSeries

Considered a middle-grade series, Theodore and The Enchanted Bookstore gives readers an excuse to rev up the imagination, as well as hang out with an adorable, bumbling Corgi for a little while. Books classified as “middle-grade” reading typically are intended for readers ages 7 to 12 years old with stories that often highlight everyday situations these young children may be facing: friendships, family issues, acceptance, physical changes, etc.

At first I was skeptical how I would like it. I mean, I’m 29 years old and my reading is well above the middle school level (I promise :P), but because I would never share and review something on the blog that I didn’t fully test out on myself, I read them both before sending them to my nephew to enjoy.

Peeps- this is a cute series. It really is. Whether you love Corgis or not, but I do, so that’s why this series is even cuter in my eyes.

Both books in the series- “Theodore & The Enchanted Bookstore: The Tale of the Spectacular Spectacles” and “Theodore & The Enchanted Bookstore: The Adventures of Robin Hound”- range from 75 pages to 100 pages with a fast-flowing storyline.

The first book starts with introducing us to Theodore, a cute little Corgi down on his luck. While living with his adoptive mother during his puppyhood, he finds his cute endearing puppy-like qualities aren’t so enjoyable to his owner anymore, especially now that she has a new baby. After his adoptive mom relinquishes ownership and leaves him at a local shelter, Theo loses hope of ever being loved again. Enter Sam stage left.

Sam, the owner of a local bookstore, adopts Theo as his new “reading dog” to entertain the kids during weekly story time at the store. Soon Sam and Theo become fast friends, despite Theo’s clumsiness. After discovering Theo’s eyesight to be the cause of his accidental messes and mishaps, Sam orders glasses to help his new pal out. Once the glasses arrive, the adventures begin!

GIVEAWAY ALERT: As you all know, I love to read. And I love Corgis even more! When the opportunity arose to read & review a new middle-grade book series featuring an adorable near-sighted Corgi named Theo & his lovely owner, Sam, I said “um… 2 of my favorite things in 1 story + one of the main characters is named Sam? You don’t have to ask me twice!” At first I was a little skeptical since middle-grade books are meant for young readers, &, I promise you, I read at a much higher level than an 8 year old 😋 I thought it’d be corny. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I loved the storyline & a felt a range of emotions when reading. “Theodore and the Enchanted Bookstore” series takes readers on magical adventures of a recently adopted, nearsighted Corgi & his bookstore-owning companion Sam as they explore the wonderful world of imagination! Or is it imagination… The tales of the adorable tail - or lack there of (see what I did there)- are well written, easy to follow, & enjoyable all around. This book is perfect for younger readers who are looking to strengthen their skills on smaller chapter books. The series does have a few adorable illustrations in it, too, so reading it to your younger kids who many not be ready to branch out on their own is definitely an option. And you know what, I think adults would enjoy them, as well! @Incorgnito Publishing and I are partnering together to give you 3 lucky winners individual copies of the Theodore & The Enchanted Bookstore series!
