Sending my regards to any fellow Booksellers contemplating their engineering skills after spending an embarrassingly long time putting our World Book Day stand together 😂 If only it took 15 seconds! #worldbookday2025

To be able to speak about bookshops and making a mark on our communities was a privilege, and Hillsborough is booming thanks to such a fab selection of indies reflecting the locals within it 👏🏼

I will always bang the drum about the power of spaces that offer more than a physical item for the community ❤️

Every Bookseller right now, trying not to be buried alive by an insane amount of cardboard whilst simultaneously bringing a ridiculous amount of festive cheer 🎄✨️

"The power of stories will never get old, and being able to be a place that brings those stories to life and into the hands of the people in my community is pure magic." www.facebook.com/booksaremyba...

Gorgeous book sleeves keeping novels cosy in between chapters ✨️ flying off our shelves at the moment #smallbusinesssaturday #booksky

Full colour, always 🌈 Nothing black, just a curated selection of colourful stories I think my community will love. (And you get me: your own personal shopper who knows exactly which book that annoying uncle will enjoy!) Open 6 days in December, and I'd love to see you ❤️ 📚

With reading for pleasure at its lowest, and writing for pleasure feeling like a chore for lots of children in school, it was brilliant fun to launch our Junior Writing Competition- and the entries have been full of joy, imagination and creativity ✏️ Writing workshops launching soon and I can't wait!

If you're Sheffield based and after a sneaky peek of the @tramlines.bsky.social 2025 line up, then pop into the shop tomorrow and shop local - we've got a saucy treat for you if you do! Open 10-5pm 👀

Shop small and local. Singing it loud always, but especially this week when the world turns black for a weekend. There's always colour here, 365 days a year. We have sales too, but we can also handpick the perfect book and show you something you'd never have chosen that has you swooning 📚 #booksky

You can shop our uk.bookshop.org/shop/hillsboroughbookshop account if you're not local. Every sale on there supports us and keeps the indie drum beat going 📚

Hello (is anyone out there?!) We're an indie bookshop based in Sheffield, promoting reading for pleasure & making sure everyone in our community feels seen through the books in our shop! How beautiful is our new window by @lorettaschauer.bsky.social for her and @katethompson.bsky.social new book!

A bookshop full of Dragon Chasers this afternoon for our special storytime and craft session 🐉 where we dared to meet the Wantley Dragon and even made the baby dragon gifts! 🎁

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

A brilliant visit yesterday! We had Reading Ambassadors from a local primary school come to the shop to choose new books for their library! 📚
