I genuinely think AdventureMice will go down as children’s classics in years to come. They’re just so beautiful.

Another brilliant book for 2025 and it’s arriving 06/02. Preorder it with us right here rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/mart... Marty Moose: First Class Mischief by Claire Powell is going to be a BIG hit here. A chapter book for younger readers, it’s lively, exciting and adorably absurd. Wonderful!

Oooo! I spy @tigertalesbooks.bsky.social @florisbooks.bsky.social #CicadaBooks and more delights! Be right over!

Four customers today. At one stage, I really did think it was going to be the first day in 29 years with no one through the door. I know it's the cold weather etc etc, but it's hard to stay upbeat when it's quiet. Want to buy a book and keep me busy wrapping tomorrow? www.bridgebooksdromore.co.uk

😔 Let’s try this again. AVAILABLE in store and via our website today!

Hot damn! A tin store and via our website today 😍

I stopped by The Rocketship Bookshop in Salisbury to sign a few copies of my book, The Dark Friars. I may have indulged in a cider or two at lunch, so hopefully, my signature turned out okay! ✍️ 🥴 It still blows my mind to see my book on the shelves of a real bookshop 🤯 @rshipbshop.bsky.social

This article is so on the nail: www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

It's 5 weeks until #LibbyandtheEgyptianEscapade illustrated by @beckamoor.bsky.social publishes. Huge thank you to @rashmiwriting.bsky.social for this fabulous endorsement. Signed and dedicated copies available exclusively via @rshipbshop.bsky.social rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/libb...

A reminder that you can request free gift wrapping when you order online, and you can request it in person at the shop too!

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Unsurprisingly a very popular picture book for us this year is Flip Flap Build Rockets! Written by Stuart Atkinson and Ben Newman. It looks amazing and it’s full with facts and fun, a great gift for curious minds this Christmas rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/flip...

It’s a huge honour to have illustrated three of the The Times best children’s books of 2024. I know that sounds like an annoying humble-brag, which it is! BUT I also mean it. Thank you @jprosewriter.bsky.social, Ross Montgomery and @hilarymckay.bsky.social for trusting me with your beautiful books 💜

The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books. (with apologies to @realjohnlecarre.bsky.social and @harkaway.bsky.social)

Been to Salisbury today, for lots of reasons - I've left signed copies of Murder at Wintertide in @rshipbshop.bsky.social Which has lots of lovely books for your Christmas need.

🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.

Here’s what’s needed to bring a bit of festive cheer, that old Kemp & Ogilvie magic returns with The Muttcracker! rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/the-...

Here’s a picture book that I’m a big fan of: Tove and the Island with No Address by Lauren Soloy, which imagines a young Tove Jansson on a windswept adventure. Beautiful! rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/tove...

. @jo-clarke.bsky.social books are perfect for middle grade children! Introduce them to travel while they're young! And @rshipbshop.bsky.social is a beautiful children's bookshop - they have a fantastic online service. #LibbyandtheEgyptianEscapade

Yikes, due to the weather we are unsurprisingly quiet today, a bit nerve wracking for small businesses on a Saturday. So, here’s a look at our current bestsellers and a selection of books we also love. All available here at the shop and online rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate...

Blimey, it’s the final day of my Kickstarter Campaign! Your last chance to get your hands on a copy of The Little Shop of Magic, as well as some very special extras. This month has gone so quickly, and it’s been nothing less than AMAZING! kck.st/3YlAJn7

Happy to see this one back in stock. Lord Of The Flies, the graphic novel, adapted and illustrated by Aimée De Jongh. Incredible! rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/lord...

A customer very kindly bought me an old bookmark from when Everyman became The Salisbury Bookshop back in the ‘90’s in this building. Oh, to have run a bookshop before Bezos came along, fax machines and all

One of my 2024 highlights is the truly beautiful Mr Lepron’s Mystery Soup by Giovanna Zoboli & Mariachiara Di Giorgio, translated by Denise Muir. Every single page is a delight and the story is unique, sometimes surreal and hilarious. Not to be missed! 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/mr-l...

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

We hope we’ll have lots of visitors this weekend, despite the weather forecast! If you can’t visit the shop, you can support us via our website, have a look at our 2024 gift guide here rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product-cate...

Amazing news and so well deserved!

So excited to see this! Thank you so much! 😍 #booksforchristmas #picturebook

I just read this, after the recent Joan Aiken celebration at Hatchards. I didn’t know the stories at all, but one of them — ‘The Dark Streets of Kimball’s Green’ — has jumped to being one of my favourite short stories of all.

Our little shop has a long history. From being a distillery, to becoming City Chambers, almost a sweet shop in the 1920’s, the much loved Everyman Bookshop from the 70’s - 90’s. It was the Moloko Vodka bar after that & a series of bars until we turned it back to books in 2020. I love this old place!

BIG 2024 Highlight for us! Dungeon Runners by the brilliant team of @kieranlarwood & Joe Todd-Stanton. Outside of school orders/events, it’s our bestseller this year & children LOVE it. It’s been popular with both developing readers & older children looking for a fun read & I think it’s fantastic!

A big thank you to Annelise Gray for coming to visit us and signing our copies of Circus Maximus: Return of the Champion. Now available online and in store! rocketshipbookshop.co.uk/product/circ...

The #IndieBookstores Starter Pack now has over 70 independent bookstores for you to follow & to order from this holiday season & more are being added every day! go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm
