My first order from @foxlanebooks.bsky.social and what a delight: wrapped up and with a little hand written bookmark/card. Price was exactly the same as a “discount” online store. Will definitely be placing more orders. ❤️🦊📚

My two favourite bookshops (when I want to buy not borrow from our local library) are @foxlanebooks.bsky.social and @biggreenbooks.bsky.social. Buy a book today - support small independent retailers.
