Few snaps from the shop today, such a lovely summer's day.

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole". (It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

What a way to end the week. €5000 going straight to @medicalaidpal.bsky.social I'll be honest, I had big hopes to reach this goal. But it's the first time either myself or @sineadohart.bsky.social have run a fundraiser like this, so I had no idea how it'd go.

The first thing I did when I finished reading The Benefactors is read it all over again. Partly I didn't want to let go of the characters, partly I was trying to figure out how @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social did this. So powerful, so original, and so gripping. Lines from it keep coming back to me.

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

Take a moment at Sunrise. Wednesday, 5.57am

All authors are now required to bring their pets to signings.

Very excited to dig into this!! And super impressed with how quickly @gutterbookshop.bsky.social got it to me in rural Alaska!

The feet of the heron, under those bamboo stems, hold the blue body, the great beak above the shallows of the pond. Who could guess their patience? from Many Miles by Mary Oliver

GUTTER BOOKS❤️📚… With a short layover in Dublin🇮🇪, I’m glad we had time to check out this delightful bookshop. @gutterbookshop.bsky.social #childrensbooks

The full piece by this blessed patient Saint Elena Gosalvez Blanco on working for Patricia Highsmith originally ran in the excellent @yalereview.bsky.social yalereview.org/article/work...

That's @samreadbookseller.bsky.social if you're in the UK. And why not, it's @gutterbookshop.bsky.social if you're in Ireland

Team Gutter is still pretty proud of that gift.
