What with all that's been going on in the world, I forgot to share the excellent book post that came at the weekend thanks to #BuyAStrangerABookDay. Excited to get stuck in to Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social, big thanks to @biggreenbooks.bsky.social and @redwellyfeats.bsky.social.
Such a great series - if you like fantasy, do take up the offer.

@biggreenbooks.bsky.social Hi Simon, I was enthralled by "Waiting for the Out" on BBC1 recently and would like to read the book it's based on. Could I order two copies, please? One for me and one for #buyastrangerabookday. It's called "The Life Inside" by Andy West. Many thanks. How's your Mum?
Hello! After receiving an excellent @ofalafel.bsky.social book last week I'd like to pay it forward by offering a copy of either of @neillcameron.bsky.social 's deranged Donut Squad masterpeices. A perfect gift for a child that's actually a gift for yourself #buyastrangerabookday

Finding #BuyAStrangerABookDay from @biggreenbooks.bsky.social was what made me start to branch out again - there were so many lovely people offering. Audio books might help? Not for me, but friends say that's what got them back into reading. It'll come back x
A copy of The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin

This is just so lovely, always enjoy reposting #buyastrangerabookday !
Hi S, can I combine this with BASAB day and buy someone a 6mth subscription. It would be nice to do so for someone who will be by themselves at Xmas or working Xmas shifts in NHS. In memory of my Dad who died this year and always bought me books at Xmas #buyastrangerabookday
Thoroughly recommended. I was thrilled to receive a copy of Small Gods last week, thanks to @magscampbell.bsky.social and #buyastrangerabookday ❤️
#Booksky
Is this still available ?
I’ve had a book in the past from #buyastrangerabookday but would love a copy of Whatever will be will be, Felix White ? I’m not sure if this falls in budget ?
Times top ten bestseller, sure, but also 9 times requested at @biggreenbooks.bsky.social on #buyastrangerabookday! Great stuff from @jamesbluecat.bsky.social and @moonflowerbooks.bsky.social. Have preordered the paperback at my local bookshop, despite the fancy edition being mouthwatering. #booksky
@biggreenbooks.bsky.social
Hi Simon.
I'd like to offer £15 for someone to choose a lovely book. Their choice!
