👯👯it’s yr booksellerssss 👯👯 The author of one of the most high-concept and audacious novels of the year is coming to Storysmith! Pretty sure that’s the most people we’ve ever wedged into the shop at one time 😅 Shocked, delighted, weak-kneed, fluttery-bellied but mostly PUMPED and HYPED to discover this insane news?! We love nothing more than a full shop brought to complete silence by an author reading their work, GOOD THING WE OWN A BOOKSHOP THEN etc etc but no seriously guys it is basically the best. 📚SUBSCRIPTION PICKS📚 Friday night scene: at the end of a very busy week sometimes booksellers need a professional hug for comfort and well-being. 🐶NEW COLLECTION DROPPED🐶 GIRD YOUR SWIPING MUSCLES, there are QUITE A FEW good books out this week. Among other things, you will find: new Eleanor Catton! Comedy YA! Brain control! Wolves! Eno! NOTHING SPECIAL??? 🚨NEW EVENT🚨 Been a busy few days so we almost forgot to remind you that BOOKS CAME. Sunday reading all taken care of, with fiction and memoir via Rwanda, Mauritius, China, Trinidad, Chile, Argentina and Nepal, non-fic exploring caste systems, love in all fashions and - very pleasingly - local hero Kirsty Sedgman’s insightful new book on breaking social rules for the benefit of human progress. It’s a stack and a half! Absolutely jazzed. Such a lovely endorsement of our little shop and our top-drawer booksellers. We’re listed alongside some fellow Bristol bookshop powerhouses and some real venerable institutions from across the the UK, so please forgive us if we have a second coffee before 11 this morning to aid recovery 😊 We are literally in love with our new window... ‘IF YOU EAT THE BREAD, YOU’LL DIE, HE SAID’ Hardbacks///Paperbacks Our events board is FULL! So pleased we can bring these amazing authors to Bristol - Swipe for a little tour of the most delectable items to hit our tables in the last couple of weeks… pithy + insightful commentary below 👇
