Update from Jerusalem: the Educational Bookshop was once again raided by Israeli Police about an hour ago. Police confiscated books, arrested an employee and shut down the bookshop.

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

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!
