We 🧡 bookshops: brimming with heart and integrity...

We’re delighted to have author @philearle.bsky.social join us to share what makes bookshops magical for him 📖✨

#ChooseBookshops
An orange background with a photo of author Phil Earle, and his book When the Sky Falls. A white text box with dark blue text reads: "My favourite bookshop is The Bookseller Crow on the Hill in Cystal Palace. For twenty-eight years it has been run by Jon and Justine, with help from Karen, and it is a very special place. The support they have offered me has been wonderful. Jon recently passed away, and the Palace won’t be the same again. Our retail landscape is full of online retailers, but you can’t replicate the heart and integrity you find in a bookshop. I love the interactions you have in them. Its alchemy, the ability to love a book so much that you can’t wait to spread the word about it: to push it into someone’s hand and say

A fantastic day on Saturday. 100 miles travelled, 10,000 steps walked, 8 bookshops visited and a lovely pile of reading purchased. Thanks to all the lovely booksellers who took part. #bookshopday #choosebookshops
A pile of new books, purchased on my bookshop day ambassador tour. T Kingfisher, T J Klune, Katherine Arden, some interesting folklore and a bee notebook.

Christmas is just around the corner.
Waterstones • 6h • Alan Moore is back for #BookshopDay to remind us all why bookshops are so important and why we should 'support the hell out of them!' #ChooseBookshops (In the photo, Alan Moore looks very much like Santa chilling between Christmases.)

We 💙 bookshops: a place to slow down, immerse ourselves and know stories more completely 📚

We’re delighted to have author Markus Zusak join us to share what makes bookshops magical for him 📖✨

#ChooseBookshops
A bookshop background with a blue colour overlay, a text box and photo of author Markus Zusak. Text reads: My favourite bookshop is Gertrude and Alice at Bondi Beach here in Sydney – a blend of new and second-hand books and a whole array of other magical surprises. It always pays to go in and take my time – which I think is one of the greatest gifts bookshops give us: to remember what it is to slow down and immerse ourselves again, to know stories more completely.
