I love a neat concise book title, and you can’t get much shorter than this! I’m sure there will be plenty of dads who would love this for Father’s Day. #bh6booksandhome #southbourne #visitsobo #fathersday #southbourne

Whilst we did love that much needed rain yesterday, it’s very nice to have the door open again and to see all that glorious sunshine! ☀️☀️☀️

My favourite novel of last year is now in paperback, and I shall be recommending it to absolutely everyone! It very skilfully weaves together three main stories linked by rivers, historical fact and The Epic of Gilgamesh and is the most enchanting and move book I’ve read for a while.

A great thread and I completely agree.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Our fiction section is tiny, but has a lot to choose from! We are often asked how we chose our books, @gardnersbooks.bsky.social (our wholesaler) is a huge help, as are social media and reviews, and as we have both been booksellers since the ‘90’s so we often just use the bookseller’s radar! 😂👀🔎

“Following all this chaos is stressful and exhausting and feels largely pointless given that if I had fallen into a blissful slumber nine days ago and been oblivious to the threats against Colombia, Mexico and Canada, I’d be no less informed and a lot less anxious.”

‘The Writer’s Dog’ - My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books
Title: The Writer's Dog A writer commands his obedient dog to undertake some tricks: Sit! Shake hands! Play dead! Give feedback on my latest draft, and be brutally, honest, unless you hate it, in which case, be diplomatic!

I’ve become a bit (!) obsessed with the romantasy phenomenon, so was very very excited for this to be published. It’s the third in the series and after racing through it for two days I’m now stressed, sad, angry and filled with questions. It was fantastic. #onyxstorm

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.
