I work part time in an independent book shop in Bristol

It’s quiet in the bookshop this morning. I guess everybody’s at their jobs, earning money so they can come and buy books at the weekend 🤷‍♂️

So does getting up

A croissant, coffee and a notebook on an outdoor wooden cafe table

Working brunch, making the most of the sunshine while scribbling down notes for the novel-in-progress

Near-future space adventure with a tight-knit crew and a mystery on the edge of the solar system

Thank you!

Good morning, pals. I hope the new week brings you health and good fortune.

Should've gone for "Rabbit vs Simian"

We can't even run from them now

Since the world is moving through the universe at high speed, probably best to mount it in a spaceship, because that's where you're going to end up.

If mega-ships are your thing I can heartily recommend @garethlpowell.bsky.social "Descendant Machine" part of his "Continuance" series. Epic story with huge scope and heart.

Bone tired at the end of a long day's work in the bookshop, but to paraphrase Robert Frost:
"I have deadlines to keep,
And words to write before I sleep.
And words to write before I sleep."

You wouldn’t fill a wine cellar with the empty bottles of wines you’d already enjoyed; similarly, bookshelves shouldn’t consist solely of #books you’ve already read. It’s important to have a good selection of new reads for every occasion.

It’s a bright Saturday in the bookshop, but it’s quiet. Everyone’s out enjoying the sunshine instead of shopping.
