as we have a few new followers i thought i had better tell you about the shop...

2019: The co-op is formed
When a popular local bookshop (The Big Green Bookshop) moved away from the area at the end of 2018, it left Wood Green and Turnpike Lane without a bookshop.

Farah was in today. She is reading: Disobedient Bodies by Emma Dabiri.

We need to find a way to do beauty differently. This radical, deeply personal and empowering essay points to ways we can all embrace our unruly beauty and enjoy our magnificent, disobedient bodies.

An independent bookshop is one of the best things you can support right now.

Visit one today & spend £10 on a book.

the books sit upon the shelves
lone
gathering dust
like whispered kisses
of skin
waiting to tell
secrets
about people
and places
and things
but
the biggest secret of all
is that today
is bookshop day
and you can get
10% off new books

One of the cartoons in my new book 'Physics for Cats' which is out now in the UK, USA, Canada, France and Germany. Order from your local bookshops or online: www.tomgauld.com/

Two beetles on a stick.
One beetle says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out to reveal that they are in a glass case with two scientists studying them.
One scientist says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out into space. Abouard a spaceship, two aliens watch the scientists on a screen.
One alien says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
The aliens turn to look out at the reader.

Text below the cartoon reads:
From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld. Preorder it at www.tomgauld.

It's World Mental Health day. Part of the reason we set up this place is because inclusive, welcoming third spaces like this are important, especially in busy cities. What's a positive space in your area?

Christine is reading: 'Safekeep' by Yael van der Wouden

Isabel has built herself a solitary life of discipline and strict routine in her late mother's country home, with not a fork or a word out of place. But all is upended with the arrival of Eva as a guest.

Hello! Thank you - have sent you a DM.

All Good Bookshop @allgoodbookshop.co.uk · 1d

Honestly, it's been a bit of a quieter week or two than would be... ideal. If there's a book that's on your mind, we'd love it if you bought it from us! Email us, DM us, etc.

Natalie is reading: Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets.

A riddle for @theguardian.com books page.
p.s. My new book 'Physics for Cats' is out this week in bookshops and online. Details at www.tomgauld.com

Title: One door leads to freedom, the others to certain death. You may ask one question.

Image: Three guards with shields and speard stand in front of three doors. One guard sits at a folding table working at a typewriter, his shield and spear leaning against the wall.

Caption: One guard always tells the truth, one always tells lies, and the third always tells an entrancing story that blends reportage with imagination in an attempt to reach a deeper authenticity by moving beyond the narrow categories of fact and fiction.

Our current reads - starting with Stephen's:
'Albert Angelo' - BS Johnson
Albert is a trained architect but supply teacher out of necessity. He is failing at both so begins questioning what he wants to achieve.

Johnson uses original narrative techniques to reproduce life as closely as possible.
