Post-bookselling debrief from this pied flycatcher after a flyby from a tawny owl.

LADS. SHE’S BACK IN BOOKSELLING.

yesterday was my first day as manager of the bound (in Whitley Bay, part of the Forum Books + the bound + The Accidental Bookshop squad) and it is good to be baaaaack!

this is my first foray into indie bookselling after 11 years at Waterstones so please say hi/let’s be friends 🤗

A very special campaign by our friends ⁦EIBF⁩ - about welcoming and inclusive bookshops - spot ⁦Booksellers Association⁩ members ⁦TertuliaBooksWestport⁩ ⁦Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop⁩ Bookshops as welcoming and inclusive places - RISE Bookselling risebookselling.eu/bwip

'My favourite part of the bookshop has to be our children's section, which is tucked away in a corridor in our eighteenth-century building, lit by a Narnia-like lamppost, and a glowing book light.'

#BooksellerStories

Forgot to bring a book but knew where the nearest bookshop was when my bus broke down. It was the same bookshop that turned me down for a job years ago because I “didn’t have enough experience”. In fact I have 15 years of experience in bookselling and 52 in bearing grudges.

Having graduated from Liverpool University with a degree in history some forty years ago & embarked upon my bookselling career,today I get to interview Alison Weir,the most successful female historian of her generation & launch her new book Mary I Queen of Sorrows How lucky am I?

Another bookselling event this morning. It’s just me, the owl patterned granny cart full of books and my card reader.

Post-bookselling debrief with lambs

Motivational post-bookselling lambs

Melody is querying ✨ The more I read into the business of bookselling/editing/creative control/IP the more I am thinking I may self publish. I never thought I’d weigh that as an option, but now I am. Elle Griffin published a Substack article yesterday that was very provocative.
