Last year we marked #Valentines4Palestine in store, in solidarity with bookstores across the UK. Palestinian writers still need support: donate via the gfm, share this post, read their books.
Can't believe it's a year since the incredible coming-together of so many indie bookstores, publishers, writers & readers. Can('t) believe & can't stand that there's still such risk for writers in & from Palestine. Donate, share this thread, read Palestinian writers & follow @englishpen.bsky.social
You can support the Educational Bookshop! @saqibooks.bsky.social have set up a gfm, give it a share / donate, help replace damaged books, repair the shop & cover interim booksellers while Mahmoud & Ahmad are (unfairly, infuriatingly) under house arrest.

Delighted to have you on the list, Mark!

I'm so delighted to see SAFIYYAH'S WAR on the @burleyfisher.bsky.social books of the year - it's the best children's book I've read this year! I think there should be a copy in every classroom & library around the country - it would prompt very interesting discussions. And adults should read it too!
After the Rites and Sandwiches by @pimlottkathy.bsky.social is a Book of the Year from the fantastic @burleyfisher.bsky.social! Thank you!! 🙏
Just added you to my #StarterPack! go.bsky.app/AHQhv2z
