It's Bookshop Day. *looks in the mirror* I'm a bookshop! So, it seems like a great time to encourage you to buy books from me. BUY BOOKS FROM ME PLEASE.

Happy little hobbit wandering around. Why is tomorrow approaching so fast... Just a little boat on a big wave ⛵

I have a spare ticket for Malcolm Middleton at The Hug & Pint this Friday if anyone is looking for one. £20.00

I loved today. Annual leave Saturday for Aberdeen WAYWORD festival. Solo trip to recharge. 🔋📚🖤

A day of WayWord in Aberdeen. I'm excited. 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 Still love this song and album. Now to drive to Aberdeen with it blaring. youtu.be/7OHQ9PXOOww?...

My pal, Brenda, has started to make her beautiful prints available at nuts prices. Most are now sold out but hopefully some will be made available again. She also does a zine called Here's Where You Belong which has just been reprinted. Check out her shop... brensweeney.bigcartel.com/product/here...

"Keshed vividly describes the strange beauty, stubborn pride and abject horror of lives brought low and broken. There's humour; but no hope." Big up @robtruestories.bsky.social for the latest awesome Keshed endorsement to add to the list, really homing in on the dark side 🙏🖤

Spent almost 4 hours in the local library today. Such a pull to this place. Picked a book off the shelf that caught my eye, and opened it. As I watched my daughter, so happy amongst the books, I smiled reading this. 💙 I fucking love books. 📚

🌧️☕

I spent the afternoon slipping in and out from the beginning of sleep to this album. It was quite remarkable, my heart had a few pangs as the sound poured itself over me, the kind of pangs you get when you listen to something that really moves you. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Find myself with some hours all to myself - it doesn't happen often enough, so when time in solitude appears - and I don't already have plans - I can feel paralysed deciding what to spend them on. Music & books - I think I'll head there first. I'll blink & those hours of recharge will have gone.

Mogwai are set to play Aberdeen Music Hall on Fri 13 Feb 2026, mixing new tracks with favourites from across their 30-year career. It’s their first city date in years, bringing their powerful sound back to one of Aberdeen’s best-loved live spaces. ⭕ Now on POST

We can't wait for the new Katya Balen book. We've loved all previous releases and expect this one to nestle in beside the others instantly. A joy to read aloud to my daughter, these books open up wonderful in-depth discussions.

The Jay, The Beech And The Limpetshell is a book that's partly about being a parent but mostly about being a kid. It's about being a kid in the woods and at the seaside and in a warming world. It's about picking up toads and watching Octonauts. It's pretty good. www.hive.co.uk/Product/Rich...

The Woodcock is a novel set on the North Sea coast in the 1920s. It's kind of about a naturalist and his wife and a pier-building lunatic, but also it's about sex and fear and love and nature and the sea and sex. www.hive.co.uk/Product/Rich...

Sunday 🌼

At times

I will have these small drawings and some other things in my shop tomorrow morning 9am PST

RT's appreciated for this one, pre-orders are super-important for small presses cos they help gauge print runs and they're really helpful for getting us noticed by the big high street chains too 🙏👌

Here comes Sunday Soreheart, schoolheart, city-suburb-small town soul sink; the sky fade sonder & saudade hour. Something about the streetlights nodding on will graze us under the sternum like a sitcom theme unheard in years. Adult self take your child self’s hand & say you find it strange here too

Oh, Max, you really do keep us on our toes.

As before, his own main Crowdfunder remains active, and #OneMoreTune is still going in turn. However you can help, spread the word.
