Indulging myself with a classic Star Wars novel. Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson.

Ben Markovites’ The Rest Of Our Lives

Anno Dracula. Dark but it's keeping me well engaged.

So… What’s everyone reading this weekend?

First book of the day was sold to a Dork Diaries superfan! She was very excited to add this one to her collection! - Sally

I’m at a Science Festival all day today (and was yesterday). Ironically, it has zero internet connection. Anyway, Sally’s in charge. Be nice.

Spot of afternoon quizzing for you. All these books begin with the letter J - how many do you know? Next Bestey Book Quiz is 17/03. Sponsored by @bertsbooks.bsky.social ! (Answers tomorrow).

I’m here until 5.30 if you want to lose your mind! Sally.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

I was gonna tell you this earlier, but I went to my mum's for pancakes. We had a wonderful event with Will Dean last night - and we've got signed copies of his latest (and best, I promise you) book - Adrift. Order your copy here: bertsbooks.co.uk/product/adri...

It's Pancake Day, so do you prefer your pancakes with golden syrup, lemon and sugar, or any method as long as it's one handed so you can read a book at the same time? - Michael

Just got caught talking to a pigeon in a car park.

Morning, all. Great event with Harriet Tyce and Will Dean last night, now to send out all your orders! - Michael

Two guesses who’s visiting us tonight!

It's been busy here so finally got a minute to tell you what we're all reading! Pedro is reading "Beyond Black", Hilary Mantel's novel about a medium plagued by her own spirits of the past... - Michael

First book of the day, the impeccably brilliant "The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet". Never read sci-fi like it! - Michael

It’s a new week, so time for a new book, wouldn’t you say? - Michael

Why is this week's episode of The Bert's Books Podcast entitled "I'll lick you when you get here"? There's only one way to find out: open.spotify.com/episode/3eVi...

We've had SUCH a busy week, I couldn't bring myself to cut the Pillar of Popularity off at number 5, so we're having a Top 10 this week. In 10th place - it's Beautiful Ugly - the latest paperback from Alice Feeney. bertsbooks.co.uk/product/beau...

At the start of June, there's a new Maggie O'Farrell coming. Maybe you knew this. But did you know if you order from us, you'll get a digital signature, bespoke endpapers and an indie bookshop exclusive letter from Maggie herself? Order on this link: bertsbooks.co.uk/product/land...

This is such a good one.

My OH bought me a gift subscription from the very wonderful @bertsbooks.bsky.social and I’ve just finished the first book, The Boy from the Sea. Next up, A Family Matter by Claire Lynch. There’s no such thing as too many books. Fact. #books #booklover

First book sold in the shop today "La Belle Sauvage" - The first in The Book of Dust trilogy. - Sally

Good morning. We are open!

You have approximately 24 hours left to order a signed and dedicated copy of Adrift by Will Dean Get your copy here: bertsbooks.co.uk/adrift-19

Psalms for the End of the World by Cole Haddon. I got it from you a while ago and finally getting round to reading it. So far, it's ace!

The Trees by Percival Everett and LOVING it.

The Man Who Died Seven Times. Really enjoying it so far, though no doubt I'm mispronouncing all the names in my head.

Enjoying William Nicholson's The lovers of Amherst

What's everyone reading this weekend?

I am taking a whole day off. I have a novel from @bertsbooks.bsky.social and I intend to sit here in the gorgeous winter sun and read it. Sometimes, we must stop and replenish the well. The only thing I need to achieve today is getting my laundry done. #writingcommunity #writing #writer

Our first book of the day was My Friends by Fredrik Backman again!

If you loved me, you’d buy a book.

I've been chatting, so I forgot to remind you all to go home. Sorry. You've had to stay an hour later than you should do. Treat yourself to an extra book at the bookshop on your way home.

First book of the day was God of Ruins by Kate Atkinson - one of the few of hers I haven't read. Yet.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️❤️

I’ve come to London for approximately 5 hours. I’ve brought three books with me.

Are you jealous you didn’t get to come to our event with Jennie Godfrey last night? Don’t worry, I interviewed Jennie for a bonus episode of The Bert’s Books Podcast - available wherever you get your podcasts from!

Happy publication day to The Barbecue at No.9 by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social - started my copy last night after the @bertsbooks.bsky.social event and I’m loving it

Morning all. Pedro and Michael here today for your bookish needs! - Michael

Lovely to attend an author event at @bertsbooks.bsky.social today with @jenniegauthor.bsky.social and @ellielevenson.bsky.social

You’ve got two guesses who is visiting us this evening.
