What’s everybody reading this weekend?

The first book we 'sold' today was The Architect's Apprentice by Elif Shafak - but they used one of our loyalty vouchers to claim it for free, so not sure if it counts... 🤔

Independence Day sounds an awful lot like “independents day” doesn’t it? Find your local indie bookshop and go wild.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Roll on the summer holidays so I can dive into these two! @bertsbooks.bsky.social

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Time to see what the team are reading this week! In preparation for our event on Wednesday, Bert is reading Mark Billingham's "The Shadow Step". It's the third in the Detective Miller series - we'll have signed copies in the week! - Michael

Unfortunate choice of blackboard from Michael, considering we have four authors visiting us THIS WEEK for talks! 😂

Pedro’s on the desk, I’m on ribbons, you’re on purchasing new books, deal? - Michael

First book sold in the shop was one of my all time favourites "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom. Sally

It’s cooled down a bit - perfect book buying conditions! Sally

Paper palace by Miranda Cowley Heller, so far so good.

Just coming to the end of Land by Maggie O’Farrell. I love her writing but man alive these characters cannot catch a break!

The Tinder Box ( r.m . Carey) . Audio. It's very good but it's taken me a while to not be expecting 'the girl with all the gifts' vibes.

Just finished this.

I’m about 20 pages into this.

A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay, as it's always good to get ideas!

What's everyone reading this weekend?

The first book of today was Hex. This is one of my go-to recommendations for someone looking for some new horror. It's creepy and the tension builds and builds until the end.

To be read, not used as firelighters. We’re here to provide the books until 5:30. You’ll have to get your sausages somewhere else.

Blood Orange was the first book sold today. A nice glass of that would go down lovely today.

Good morning. Thirty years ago, Wannabe burst into the world. Now tell us what you want, what you really, really want. 📚☕️

The faster you read the more you cool down

Quality of this bookshop never drops @bertsbooks.bsky.social #shopindependent

Suggested reading for today, if you need to cool down... - Michael

First book of the day, once again, "Dog Man". You can't keep a good book down. - Michael

An oft-ignored perk of physical books is that every few pages you can pause and fan yourself with them. - Michael

I've just added to the website the latest Puffin Clothbound Classics. These are classic novels abridged and aimed at kids aged 9-12. Have a browse! - Michael bertsbooks.co.uk/product-tag/...

It may be at Fahrenheit 451 out there, but we’re still here for all your bookish needs. - Michael
