Argonaut Books are a truly fab bookshop with a lovely cafe and beautifully curated stock. Please support them if you can, this feels like an intentional move from Waterstones to push a competitor out of business.
@bookbugs.bsky.social and @portalbookshop.bsky.social can you share this please?

Santa has taken up residence at Bookbugs for his annual visit. This year's read is @thebookerprizes.bsky.social winner "Orbital" by Samantha Harvey which is proving very helpful for route planning.

It’s #NationalIllustrationDay2024 🥳
Salute to all the illustrators out there, old and new, who show up to the desk everyday to face the blank sheet.😮💨
What we do really is a form of MAGIC that can’t be replicated anywhere near as easily as society would have you believe. 🥹

We've also begun a starter pack for writers of funny middle grade or chapter books. These books bring joy.
It's a work in progress so shout if we haven't added you yet!

Having just worked with our local Council on a traveller pack of books I was delighted to be introduced to this gem at the recent Irish Publishers Conference in Dublin from @littleislandbooks.bsky.social and Skein Press. Finally got time to read it. Beautiful from Chrissy Donoghue & Monika Mitkute

When I'm in charge, the music gets better (in my opinion). Disney playlist removed in favour of 90s classics. What could possibly go wrong?

In a shocking plot twist... the Saturday boy didn't work Saturday but has a surprise Sunday in the shop. So for all the new followers (that's everyone) here we are. 5 rooms of booky joy. Follow us for more twists and turns in the life of an indie Bookshop. ❤️📚🐛🐉

Most of our posts will be from me, Dan, the bookshop Saturday boy. During the week my main job let's me travel the country and world visiting Publishers and bookshops. Expect bookshop photo spam from me. #NoApologies Here are a few from this month. It's been a good month! #Frankfurt #Oxford #Dublin
