Aren't these books by @lulunealon, @maddiethien, and the late Mary Lavin utterly stunning?
It's a knowledge of beauty in these days rare, as @kevin_anthony_rowland so wonderfully put it.

As William Henry Davies almost said,
"What is this life if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare
At Waterstones half- price offers."

It was something like that, I believe 😉

Thanks to all bookclubbers who came along today to chat about Ghost Mountain by @ronanhession.bsky.social. The book was a hit with everyone finding different meanings and resonances in the text.
Bookclub remained Bookclub.
Ps, everyone would have loved Ronan to have been there !

Cheers to @jamesgwriter.bsky.social for calling in today with Maltesers After Eights. I thought I'd taken a snap of them but clearly didn't, so this pint of the black stuff will have to do.🤪♥️

My genuine pleasure gentlemen .

I tried one of those herbal teas that are supposed to help you sleep. It had me up to pee about 4 times through the night.

Now that's what we call a recipe book!
Ach sure we all love a wee traybake , bun or biscuit with a nice cup of tay in our part of the world, and with this easy-to-follow book there'll be no excuse the next time visitors call round, thanks to @the_hungryhooker

We had a great time celebrating #WorldBookDay2025 with Year 7 from St. John's Primary School, Coleraine today.
After a tour of the shop, which included the top-secret areas that customers don't get to see, we had a book quiz, a story and everyone got to spend their #worldbookday2025 vouchers.

Today is #WorldBookDay and as if that wasn't exciting enough, you can get DOUBLE PLUS stamps until midnight on Sunday! 🥳

I naively assumed that was for everyone and that fleets of vans would be zooming around thd country distributing tay and apple tart. Turns out I was wrong. Feel like a numpty now.😟

Signature author hat ( further reduced to £1.70) waiting to be collected next time you're in Coleraine 😄👒
