Fully agree with Thursday Murder Club author Richard Osman about #IndieBookshopWeek. Please pay homage to your local #IndependentBookshop if you can this week. I know I will be revisiting Dormouse Books, Belper on Saturday. ๐ฆฆ๐
How lovely of Robin Ince to recall his visit to my most local #IndieBookshop - Dormouse Books, Belper, which occurred last month in his latest Big Issue column. Shame I didn't get a chance to see him that day, but continuously thankful for his warmth and support. ๐ฆฆ๐
Despite a tough day of travelling, I was grateful to visit both The Last Bookshop & @bookhaus2 in #Bristol yesterday. Also was able to buy Bernard and Pat after seeing Robin Ince's Instagram reel about this title earlier this week. Both shops are worth a visit. Full review TBC.๐ฆฆ๐
Thoroughly loved Adventures in Exeter - Bibliomaniac with Robin Ince: Episode 1, which is available on the The Cosmic Shambles Network YouTube channel as of this evening ahead of a busy Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the broadcaster, writer & comedian. #WholesomeWatching for all ๐ฆฆ๐ youtube.com/watch?v=7sY-DBโฆ
This is a brilliant piece about Bluemoose Books. Always keen to see #IndependentPublishers get the recognition they deserve. Looking forward to writing a deep dive into this company when the blog launches. ๐ฆฆ๐ theguardian.com/books/2023/augโฆ
Cannot wait to get my paws on this Hazel Prior book in due course ๐ฆฆ๐
As someone who is passionate about #MentalHealth and football. I cannot wait to buy and review Johnnie Lowery's book in due course.
*squeaks excitedly* I am delighted to receive Hazel Prior' fourth book. I cannot wait to get my paws around this title and enjoy it; however, I am still determining when that will be due to life's hecticness. Thanks for continuing to support me, though! ๐ฆฆ๐
Please consider attending this Birmingham Lit Fest event if you are able to this upcoming weekend ๐ฆฆ๐
If you are like me and love exploring #IndependentBookshops such as Dormouse Books, Belper, Scarthin Books, Imagined Things Bookshop, @bookhaus2, and many more, then I strongly encourage you to buy you or your loved ones Robin Ince's delightful Bibliomaniac. Out now in Paperback. ๐ฆฆ๐
Time is running out to stop a catastrophe due to a lack of climate action. It is also running out if you wish to join me in getting your name in Natalie Bennett's #ChangeEverything book from @unbounders. You've got until midnight tomorrow to do so. โ๏ธ ๐ฆฆ๐ unbound.com/books/change-eโฆ

To commemorate #BookshopDay, I reflect on my recent retail therapy experiences at Kemptown Bookshop & @CityBooksinHove, which I did last weekend while in Brighton. Full reviews of these wonderful #IndependentBookshops and why you should visit them will be on the blog at a TBC ๐ฆฆ๐
