Guess what it's Prime Day. Jeff doesn't need your cash, your indie bookshops do. UK.bookshop.org is a great start, pick your favourite store and shop like Amazon doesn't exist.

It’s good to see me, isn’t it? 💜✨

Yes, yes, the rumors are true — we are OFFICIALLY launching here on Bluesky!

In case you forgot, we’re a place to buy books online where every purchase supports local bookstores, not billionaires.

Thanks for being here 🙌🏽

Text says Coming Soon with some footsteps and tails of three literary illustrations.

You know how annoyed you feel when people post cryptic messages and make you wait to find out what they're talking about? Yeah we're doing that.

A visitor is on their way...

Use your local library, your local bookshop, that indie cafe, the park, the board game cafe, the beach, that weird fountain at the mall... Use them all the way you used to before you owned a computer in your pocket. Maybe that small thing will help us all in 2025.

This year has been a mixed bag. So much sadness and loneliness in the world caused by the very platforms that also provide so much joy. A gentle reminder to everyone, third spaces still exist, they still need people to use them, and we thrive in them. 1/2

Good morning Blueskyers! Bluskis? What are we as a collective?
Anyway we're back open so come and spend your book tokens with us!
