@audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social

50-year-old indie bookstore in amiskwaciwΓ’skahikan, Alberta. We sell new books, run a podcast called The Audpod, host author events, have a fabulous bunch of well-read booksellers, and are occasionally a bit snarky.

In just a few days we'll welcome @margaretatwood.bsky.social to Edmonton with a packed out crowd at the Edmonton Convention Centre. You brilliant #yeg #booksky folk have shown that Edmonton really does have an audience for fabulous authors. We hope to bring you more great writers in 2026.

Right, we're here, it's happening, the countdown begins. If you arrive at the store on 24 December and we don't have the book your nephew desperately wants, it's on you, bud. 😜 Time for #giftshopping #yeg #booksky Talk to our awesome booksellers to find that perfect gift....

SOLD OUT. The event is sold out and we have a pretty full waitlist, but we still recommend you sign up for the waitlist if you didn't get tickets in time. There will be no more tickets released (we are full to bursting), but cancellations will go to the waitlist first.

We're not doing black friday nonsense because we're an indie bookstore not a super-rich bald guy. But we like Small Business Saturday because we're a small business and we do actually like giving you discounts. Seasonal cards, advent calendars and cookbooks 15% off this Saturday in-store only.

Close up picture of a hand holding a red mug shaped like an apple, including a red lid with a green stem and leaf, but it’s no regular apple… nay, it’s a Richard Scarry Apple Car with two wheels protruding off the bottom of the Apple, two silver headlights above the wheels, and a large orange-coloured window in which can be seen Lowly the Worm in his signature green hat, red bow tie, blue shirt, green pants, and, most critically, the other end of his worm self wearing a red shoe while wrapped around a stick shift or control stick of some kind.

I don’t know who needs to know this, but this is how Lowly the Worm drives his Apple Car…

Would we love to see a huge number of sci fi fans descend on Edmonton? Why yes, we very certainly would! Support the bid!

We're blown away at the response. So many tickets already sold and we're still a few weeks out from this exciting event. Get yours now! Book + Ticket option gets you an entry for a chance to win a signed edition instead of the regular edition of the book.

Standardly the subscription is stand-alone, but you've thrown out a great idea there...

We hear ya. What if you could see the book chosen for that month and opt out of that one if it's not right for you?

#booksky, how do you feel about Book Subscription Boxes? Got thoughts? Got reviews? Got a fave? We're thinking we might make something small scale happen here in #yeg with a monthly sub so we're gathering data. Help a bookseller out with some comments ...πŸ“š

Some of you may know I wrote a book, but did you know you could come see me talk about that book, and ask questions about that book?

See all the details in the pictures. And maybe see you soon.

We've come to expect the unexpected from the marvelous @janiceminx.bsky.social , and last night's launch of her new Imogen Durant mystery was a barrel of fun. We snapped a pic of Janice & her fiddle instructor, Jay, setting the scene for 'Wexford Carole'. Pop by to pick up your copy. #yeg #booksky

We could definitely get behind this idea... Could the emotional support owls be trained to give book recommendations, do you think?
