I’m in Australia, but looking for an Amazon alternative I haven’t found better than the Irish bookstore @kennysbookshop.bsky.social - I often get discounts that effectively cover shipping, delivery times are good, and they ain’t Jeff. :-)

We're sorry to see this happened to our friends at the lovely @booksupstairs.bsky.social last night. Thankfully everyone is okay!
A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

Ní bheidh a leitheid arís ann is an overused phrase, but it could not be more apt than with Manchán Magan. He would tell you a story about the origin of the phrase, and why it's used more in certain parts of the country than others. He crammed so much into his 55 years, /1

I haven’t been able to read properly for months. Poor attention span! But I’ve missed it. This beautiful book though - read with the sound of the sea crashing onto the County Clare coast is reeling me back in! First Hugo Hamilton for me & it’s gorgeous. Thanks Hugo and @kennysbookshop.bsky.social

Delivery to Sweden from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social. Great to support Irish businesses (and learn about what Ireland can do in the climate crisis) even when living abroad. Looking forward to reading @thinkorswim.bsky.social.

Proud to say I haven’t bought anything from that online monster in over ten years - least of all books. I’m a particular fan of @kennysbookshop.bsky.social 😉
For all its convenience, Amazon simply doesn’t hold a candle to a quaint independent bookstore on a rainy day.
