Look at the gifts that my wonderful customers and friends gave me yesterday! This card from a fellow trader (and friend) made me tear up 😢

And just like that, Bridge Books turns 30! They said it wouldn't last, but it's still here, stronger than it ever. Yes, there were times when it got very tricky, but with hard work and wonderful customers, Bridge Books is still standing. Here's to the next page in its story! 🥂

Thanks SO much to everyone who came out to support me yesterday on #BookshopDay! We had queues, a crowded shop and a wonderful day. I was so shattered last night i was asleep by 8 o'clock and slept for 13 hours 🙈 It meant the world to have the shop so busy & full of book lovers!

I'm not sure that posting this from a small independent bookshop's account is the kindest thing to do. I pay my taxes while the big online place doesn't. I know who's in the right.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who voted for me! I've made it onto the longlist of 12 in the An Post Irish Book Awards. I'm in very prestigious company (I'm the only Nordie 😱), and the next stage is down to me, so I need all the bits crossed and all the candles lit!

Thanks to our friends @libro.fm, you will have the chance to win an amazing 12 free audio credits on #BookshopDay! A golden ticket will be hidden somewhere in the shop. All you have to do is come down and find it. Let's face it, I'm probably the smallest shop in Ireland, so it shouldn't take long!
