While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Today might have been a lost cause re: energy levels, but it's been a win for lovely book feedback from local followers on Facebook: "Currently enjoying this excellent, nature-based memoir. The author's descriptive powers are top-notch. Purchased from the equally local @nextpagebooksuk.bsky.social"

It’s indie bookshop week and as a thank you, we have a HUGE 15% discount in store and online until Sunday! Buy a book, find some shade, read until it gets cooler… #bookshop #childrensbookshop #ibw2025 #indiebookshopweek #chooselocal #shopsmall

It's #IndieBookshopWeek and I've been visiting local bookshops recently organising my book tour. @nextpagebooksuk.bsky.social, David's Bookshop (where I'll be talking on Thu), Lucky Hare, The Book Nook & Bow Books are my nearest in #Herts.

Where's your local Indie? Why not pop in later? #booksky

Publication Day of #LandBeneaththeWaves is so close. I can't wait to celebrate with friends & locals @nextpagebooksuk.bsky.social in Hitchin on Thursday.

Only 5 tickets left, so if you'd like to come, book soon. I'll be talking about the book & there'll be music from @simonsmithsongs.bsky.social.

How exciting! Pre-order your SIGNED copy of The Diary of Wiska Wildflower now.

This is a BRAND NEW series from Hitchin legend @harrietmuncaster.bsky.social and sits between her previous series in reading age - so a little bit older than Isadora Moon and a little bit younger than Victoria Stitch
