Hello! It may be a dreich Thursday, but in your #localbookshops in Melrose and Stow it’s warm and cosy! There are some great books this week, from fascinating folklore to murderous deeds in bygone Edinburgh, to brand new fiction from the author of Butter… Perfect reads to wile away the afternoon!
A black background on which, in gold, are the logos of The Wedale Bookshop and The Reading Room, under which, in white text is the message: Thank you for supporting your local bookshops, in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Displayed under this is the text: Proud to support The National Year of Reading 2026 and the "Go All In" logo.
Times are tough and we really do thank you for supporting your #localbookshops wherever you are! Keeping it local helps the economy, keeps towns and villages vibrant and stops billionaires raking in even more money.
Thank you. You're all braw!

A reminder of some cool free audiobooks being given away by the lovely Portal Bookshop!
They still have plenty to give away if you're after something new!
I'm looking forward to The Parable of the Sower. 😁

Crazy (and unfortunate) that there's no "Vibes & Scribes" bookshop presence on Bluesky, or Mastodon (but there is a bookshop called "Scribes & Vibes", here)! #CorkCity #Cork #Books #LocalBookShops #SpéirGhorm
As someone who jumps across the pond & back, “local” to me are also the incredible independent booksellers in Northern Ireland. Thank you so much to Lesley at @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social for getting this to me so fast! And with a bow, too!
