#booksky #bookseller pick of the day @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social
Look at that eye-catching cover, and what a fascinating history. Can't wait to dive into this.

Saw some stills from today's meeting and all I can think is "Zelensky put a suit on, after all these months, so those nitwits in the oval wouldn't get distracted by fashion issues again".

Spines of five colourful books from the Yale Little History collection.

Must have the whole collection. These covers are just wonderful.

Would love 1 of these if they're still available.

A hand holds up a copy of 'World as Lover, World as Self', by Joanna Macy.

Today's #bookseller #pickoftheday honours the brave and tireless Joanna Macy, who passed from this life last weekend.

A hand holds a book open. At the top of the left page is the title '22. Tinnitus'. The rest of the page is unreadable.

A hand holds up a copy of 'Steamy: a menopause symptomology' by Susan Holbrook.

Feeling very seen by Susan Holbrook. Thanks to @coachhousebooks.bsky.social for publishing 'Steamy: a menopause symptomology'.

A hand holds a copy of Exophony: Voyages Outside the Mother Tongue by Yoko Tawada.

#booksky, it's been a minute, but here is my#bookpickoftheday. Yoko Tawada is a pick for me any time, but this looks especially fascinating.

'The Safekeep' seems to be getting notice now that it's in PB. Lovely debut with strong characters but a plot so obvious I was annoyed.

Garden scen with chair covered in colourful blanket and cushion, an iced drink on the arm. Beside it, a table carries a copy of 'I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness' by Irene Sola.

Tuesday reading. Would read anything by #irenesola, and I'm loving 'I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Towards Darkness'. Anyone else out in #booksky reading this?

Substack Did Not See That Coming Let’s set Substack’s “Nazi problem” aside for a moment. What if the bigger issue is being stranded on a collapsing platform... with a bunch of Nazis?...

I just wrote 'Substack Did Not See That Coming'.

A hand holds up a copy of Enemy Feminisms by Sophie Lewis

#booksky Here's my Pick of the Day. Sophie Lewis gets into the thick of how Western feminism has so often served colonial and patriarchal efforts over feminist collective needs, and how we need to tackle this if we're to find a truly liberatory feminism. #bookseller #enemyfeminisms

A meme I made with a goose yelling “you do not have to be good”

A hand holds up a children's picture book title 'ashimpa the mysterious word' by Catarina Sobral.

#booksky pick of the day. This one is for @blackriders.com , who is going to be utterly delighted when he sees it, in the way that only my most bookdragony colleague can be.. #ashimpa

Good, because this is pretty much my plan.

A hand holds up a book titled 'Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice' by J.F. Martel, with an introduction by Donna Tartt.

#booksky #pickoftheday #bookseller
A new edition of Martel's incisive meditation on art vs artifice, with intro by Donna Tartt. Niiiiccccce.

my friend, at lunch: hasn’t the LHD done enough. Just LOOK at reality rn. How many times do we all have to die for the multiverse before we get to a reality that is at least MODERATELY not batshit

Two bookmarks rest on a wooden surface. One side shows the logo for Audreys Books with the words "Choose your next adventure at audreys.ca or shop in person at 10702 Jasper Ave | 780-423-3487 " The other side shows a pattern of colourful book covers.

At long last... we have bookmarks. Iykyk

Currently really hating whoever decided urinal cakes should smell like lilac in South Africa. It's lilac season in #yeg and to me it smells like I'm in a grubby nightclub loo queue the whole time.

Underland by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social is my all-time favourite non-fiction, and is currently closely follwed by 'Is A River Alive', his latest release.

As a #bookseller I'm gutted when i read the list of NEA grant losses and see so many indie presses who'vehad vital funding taken away. Small independent presses are, and always have been, absolutely vital to the world of books. #booksky

A hand holds up a blue book with the title "You Gotta Eat: real-life strategies for feeding yourself when cooking feels impossible ", by Margaret Eby

I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭

From a bookseller perspective, the blue sweep of Edmonton has a bunch of folks coming out of the woodwork to order far-right titles today. Ugh. #booksky #canadaelections #bookseller
