If you visited the cafe at bookish recently and e’d really appreciate your reviews on Google! It’s been a bumpy ride these past 12 months as hospitality is HARD, but Mr Bookish has been cooking up a storm this month!
It’s raining outside of the bookshop and it’s raining inside of the bookshop….still trying to get this leak sorted!
Tonight’s event with @ellielevenson.bsky.social @juderogers.bsky.social discussing Room 706….belter of a debut novel!
Happy Friday all, What are you all reading this weekend? And if you’ve not got a good book I’m here all day for recommendations and booky advice!
Always welcome! Maybe on your next schools tour!
That sour cherry is Delish

Happy Valentine’s Day! (And happy my birthday too)
Haha sometimes I actually love autocorrect
I have pirating on my list, I need to sleep tonight!!
Adds to shopping list. I assume I can but anything that dries things out seems to have more of an effect on me after taking Accutane as a teenager. My deafness also makes colds seem 10 times worse than they are!
Best cold remedies so that I stop almost sneezing my eyeballs out and that I feel human enough to brilliantly interview Jojo Moyes tomorrow evening to a sell out audience?!….GO
Thank you…..but Jeffrey?! 🤣
It’s my birthday on Friday…I think I’m buying myself an early pressie.

Last night I had a dream that we had a sell out event with Ben Fogle but on the night another writer/mathematician also called Ben Fogle turned up….chaos ensued. I have a cold, I blame the Lemsip.
Today from 10am I am driving the till in our Abergavenny shop. Small but perfectly formed 55a Frogmore Street has, in my opinion, the BEST book smell in the world.
A packed out hall
Copies of ‘The hunt for the Golden Scarab’

Fabulous morning with @mglnrd.bsky.social and @panmacmillan.bsky.social and 250 local school children learning about ancient Egypt, adventure writing and of course, beetles! The Hunt for the Golden Scarab is out now!
Just a thought…has anybody checked on the large hadron collider recently?

February events are starting strong!
Just me driving the till in Crickhowell today, anybody thinking of a run out, a book purchase and a coffee?!
Funnily enough that was a discussion last week….
Thank you! So happy you think so. Always a joy to send them out into the world
Glad it arrived safe and sound!
It’s the first day of my birthday month! AND it’s no longer January, who fancies buying a book, your future self will thank you! (We need to sell approx 1400 books in Feb just to keep the lights on in the place!)
