I keep seeing Spotify wrapped posts everywhere. I don’t use Spotify so didn’t think I’d be able to join in. Then I found this fabulous illustration by Tom Gauld. As an avid audiobook listener, that section is particularly on point 😳

I thought I’d introduce myself, as BlueSky seems to be a friendly place. I’ve been lurking here for a while, I joined when you still needed an invite. I knit, crochet and sew. I’ve designed and published patterns for socks and shawls. I’m also interested in British politics.
A rainbow coloured blanket made from Tunisian simple stitch. There is a grid pattern in grey yarn over the top of the blanket, created by using raised post stitches. The blanket is draped over a metal garden bench and surrounded by grass. This picture shows the same blanket as the previous one, but folded over the back of the bench. The rainbow and grey grid patterns are prominent. The blanket has a rainbow and grey border.

I found Big Green Books here on Bluesky yesterday and treated myself. I was intrigued by the signed copies of Angela Merkel’s new book. I had a lovely chat with Simon this morning, just checking I was ok to wait for a couple of weeks so my books could be posted together. Fantastic customer service!

Every so often I talk about books.

This is one of those times.

PLEASE BUY BOOKS FROM ME.

I add the fancy stuff, like SIGNED books onto my gorgeous website here www.biggreenbookshop.com/index.php.

But I can get pretty much anything, so if you'd like a book check out these instructions.

Ta.
This is a copy of a message I have on the homepage of my website. It says this BUY BOOKS Yes, the classic way that a bookshop makes its money. IMPORTANT!! THIS WEBSITE ONLY LISTS ABOUT 114 TITLES. I CAN SOURCE OVER HALF A MILLION! SO, IF IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE, DON'T PANIC. (JUST FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS AND HOPEFULLY ALL YOUR BOOK RELATED DREAMS WILL COME TRUE) The best way to find out if I can get a particular book is to email me on biggreenbooks@gmail.com Or else you can tweet me (or DM me) @biggreenbooks. Let me know what you’re looking for and I’ll reply as soon as possible. I can get books posted all over the world and our suppliers usually get books out within 24 hours, so that’s pretty good, I’d say.
