Book your place now: send us a message or pop in and see us!* (*Be careful out there on the snow & ice!)

Young Frankie says, relax with a good book this Jólabókaflóð. I've just finished #TheWatermark by #SamMills (@grantabooks.bsky.social ) which is a fantastic epic love story where the 2 main characters are racing to escape the clutches of the author who has them kidnapped...!

Waiter! There's a- er, waiter in my maw!* Surprisingly fun and subtle dystopian near-future-set short novel with 11 endings... (*Don't worry, the book doesn't feature such 'jokes') #KwanAnnTan #theemmapress #nairnbooks #nairnbookshop #booksellerrecommends #booksbooksbooks

Robin is one of the funniest and most original people I have ever met. I admire his curiosity and his intelligence. Also, he told me to watch The Asphyx, which is an amazing film. Continues:

I have avoided commenting on this today, but I feel that it would go against our charter to say nothing. We are, I hope, old friends of @robinince.bsky.social who has graced us with his presence more than once. To continue:

As the Bram man said (kind of, almost), "...the fishermen say that we are in for a storm. I must try to watch it and learn the weather signs. To-day is a grey day, and the sun as I write is hidden in thick clouds, high over [Inver]ness." Be careful out there!

We are 5! 🎈 THANK YOU for being part of the mission. At a time when Amazon profits are soaring, and small businesses face ever increasing pressure, WHERE you choose to spend your money makes all the difference in keeping these community spaces on the high street. Bookshop.org

Well, we know what Young Frankie is up to today, but what about Dr F? www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7P-...

Know what we find really terrifying? ⏭ When people interrupt our reading. ⏭ Companies that send their CEO to the moon, all while trying to put small bookshops out of business. ⏭ The realization that we'll never get through our TBRs.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Happy and spooktacular reading to you!

Poor Young Frankie he just can't decide what to read this Halloween. Should he go with a classic or try something new like #PoorCreatures by #MairiKidd or #Mary by #AnneEekhout? @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social #nairnbooks #nairnbookshop #supportlocalbusinesses #booksbooksbooks #booksarethebest #BookSky
