No, YOU bent down to pick up a book in front of a customer and, as if living in a 1970s sitcom, ripped the seat of your trousers straight down the middle.
*OUT TODAY*
Hooked, from Asako Yuzuki, the author is Butter, is finally out in the wild!
It's been translated brilliantly by Polly Barton, and we have limited stock of the Exclusive Edition!
Some brilliant advice from Catherine Fisher at our school event last week celebrating the launch of Candlemam as a Firefly Welsh Children's Classic:
'When you finish writing for the day, leave a sentence unfinished. That away, the next day you can launch straight back into it.'

What everyone reading this weekend?
Doors open in 25 minutes.
Beyond them, more books than you could carry, though we'd like to see you try. After the necessary health and safety checks and risk assessments. Actually let's not bother.
Whilst waiting for Hooked, the next from Butter author Asako Yuzuki, here are a few suggestions to keep you going...
Everyone, this is Lexie.
Lexie, this is everyone.
Find someone who looks at you like Lexie looks at mobile phone cameras.
Her proudest achievement is that she's a Very Good Dog.
#DogsInBookshops
Doors open in 1.1 hours.
Beyond them, more books than you could possibly imagine.
Unless, that is, you are capable of conceptualising the idea of a building with lots of books on shelves and tables, in which case you can disregard our initial statement.
Does opened an hour ago.
Everyone, this is Ruby.
Ruby, this is everyone.
Ruby loves you.
Her proudest achievement is that she's a Very Good Dog.

Thank you so much to Stephanie Burgis, who popped in this week to sign her book!
Wooing the Witch Queen is our Welsh Book of the Month for February; the opening instalment in a delightful cosy romantasy trilogy, which finds a feared sorceress falling for a dark wizard
The front window of Waterstones Swansea has a display up for Wooing the Witch Queen, as Welsh Book of the Month, with a gorgeous mini bonsai tree and several stems of fake cherry blossoms lying around it.
Inside the shop is a front table with two tall stacks of copies of Wooing the Witch Queen beside a tall stack of copies of Enchanting the Fae Queen.
Street art of a Green Barred Colonel Curlew (as identified by the artist) marching along proudly with a background of green flies.
Steph sits underneath street art of a woman in traditional nineteenth-century Welsh garb.
Yesterday was day 2 of my mini-signing tour for Wooing the Witch Queen, traveling around different wonderful Welsh Waterstones while WtWQ is Welsh Book of the Month! So prepare for happy photos. :)
I started out at @swanseastones.bsky.social , a bookstore (and city!) I've loved for a long time:
Everyone, this is Dolly.
Dolly, this is everyone.
Dolly is 70% nose and 30% cloud.
Her proudest achievement is that she's a Very Good Dog.
