There are so many great new books coming out that I'm struggling to find space for them all. If each of you could buy, like 4 or 5 things from our shelves, that would be great! - Michael 😆

I have given @allgoodbookshop.co.uk £150 so they can give a bunch of you free books, and I have paid for shipping as well. Just message them on here or email control@allgoodbookshop.co.uk to order one of these four books for free.

We really don't want to do this, but it's been a bad summer and we need help. Footfall has been down and many of our customers are away. This has meant a reduction of weekly income by £500- £600. It may not be the biggest amount but it is a lot to us.

My favourite bookshop, @allgoodbookshop.co.uk , is struggling. There are 3 very clear ways to help them 1) Buy books and go to events allgoodbookshop.co.uk/order-items 2) Buy shares, and own your own bookshop. allgoodbookshop.co.uk/support-us 3) Donate to their GoFundMe gofund.me/3c299facb

The one good thing about the new version of the Odyssey (I haven't seen it yet) is that it has reminded me of Ulysses 31... Which - as it came out in 1981, when I was nineteen - I have just realised I was too old to watch... Nevermind, I still loved it.

Scam call this morning. Him "Hello, Mr Large. I'm *** from BT..." Me "Sorry, what name do you have?" Him "Mr Large?" Me "I'm a little overweight, but I think you've got the wrong name" Him "That doesn't matter..." ME "Really?" hang up. What should I have said? Oh, and it's my birthday today...

Nextdoor has become the home of bad spelling and grammar. It is also where people post their worst life events. I don't like telling someone it is unlikely that their friend was muddered, or kilt by a car. I will still do it, but I will feel bad.

Stephen Cox - "funny, raunchy, romantic, satisfyingly twisted" @stephencoxauthor.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

My local bookshop @allgoodbookshop.co.uk has sold 35 copies of The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder - crikey!! They sell my signed copies. It's also in the Quaker Book Centre, Euston Rd, London. Check out this "astonishing feat" "absolute perfection" "fun read" of a novel #books #bookshop #crime

A book cover surrounded by the following aspects in matching Victorian lettering - spooky / Vicious Baronet / Spiritualist Scammers/ Hidden Crimes / older grumpy sapphics / snarky dock-lass/ twisty mystery / Lady in Danger/Queer Found Family
The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder by Stephen Cox
A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating.
A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible.
There are pink highlights on some of the letters.
Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.

One thing I liked about being a shopkeeper was sharing little trade secrets with my customers. It made me feel a bit naughty, & it gave them a peek into the workings of the shop. With that in mind, the cat is Tiger and belongs to my wife... www.ebay.co.uk/usr/warewest

I revisited this petition to see if it'd had any new signatures. It had, but not enough. I noticed two things of interest to me. 1) The creator shares a name with an ex-girlfriend. 2) the finishing day is the day after my birthday. Coincidence? Yes.

One of the best things about turning 60 in London, was that I got free(ish) travel on London Transport. Then I moved to Royal Leamington Spa, and - guess what - I have to pay like a peasant! Well, here's a petition to put that to rights. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Day four for me on Bluesky. I told my wife that nobody had been rude to me on this platform. "That's because most of them haven't met you," she said. My faith in humanity has been - if not fully restored - bolstered.
