Dear Burnham Labour government, There are uniformed fascists on the streets of Dover. You have done and said f*** all so far. Not good enough. You'll lock up pro-Palestinian grannies and young climate activists - but you ignore fascist thugs. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Buy secondhand. It’s sustainable, fun and you find a lot more than the latest hype

My sister has always been nicknamed’Margot’ after the wonderful Penelope Keith. Her facial expressions were always a treat. When aimed my way by my sis, they were less so. RIP PK

We’ll miss our Pride and diversity window after June. Framlingham is a sea of St George crosses and red white and blue. Our shop feels like a bit of a beacon. Maybe I’ll keep the bunting up…

Oh dearie me. What a long time since we posted! Online orders take do much time (there’s only two of us) that social media takes second place. But today has been hot and quiet. Was closing early and lots rushed in!

A shout out to my American readers for February 3rd. A French Inheritance is in a Bookbub promotion and has also had a price drop to 99C. So if you haven't read it yet and would like to maybe grab the e-book and settle down for a visit to the South of France. bit.ly/4qiEBkN Boldwood Books

Walked on a public footpath right into a pheasant shoot and had to tramp past first a CHILDS quad bike then a truck and trailer already full of strung up birds, staring the poor things in the eye. Give them indigestion fellas. 😠

Today's book shop browsing music. Any thoughts on what music would encourage you to linger in the shop?

These lists are useful for us as a secondhand bookshop. It is hard to keep up with what children chose, or are asked, to read.

open.substack.com/pub/suziegro...? What do you look for in a second-hand bookshop? For me, it’s recipe books, memoirs, autobiographies and mid-20th c fiction. You? Tell @framlinghambooks.bsky.social #writingcommunity #authorcommunity #writinglife #authorlife #skybooks #skywriters

I don't think I have to tell most people who follow me why libraries are important, or that they're under threat in the UK. But I want to make sure everyone knows Lambeth libraries are going on strike and there's a solidarity hardship fund HERE linktr.ee/savelambethl... #KidlitUK #SaveLibraries

It's 11.30am and we've taken just £2.50. Favourite comments on the way out: 'Thank you - it's a lovely shop', 'I'll come back with my reading glasses' 'We're staying locally so we'll come back with more time.' 'I'm so glad we've still got physical bookshops.' I feel like a tourist attraction.

An old bookmark found in our stock is often a joy. This book token (token used, free plate not) has no date but must be 1950s perhaps?

My Substack went crazy (really!) for this post about how to decide what we sell in the shop. Secondhand bookshops, especially tiny ones, have to make hard decisions #Booksky substack.com/home/post/p-...

Oh dear, we have got to 1pm on a hot sunny day here in Framlingham without selling one book. Lots of lovely comments about the shop and long browses but no sales. Buy local, buy indie or all your 'lovely shops' (thank you for the compliment) will go out of business 😔

I'm Suzie Grogan (@keatsbabe.bsky.social)and a bookseller here. My own Bluesky was dominated by book posts anyway, so I thought the shop should get its own spotlight. We'll looks at reviews, show new acquisitions and share book shop news.

Hello! I hope there are some bookshops on Bluesky - we are off other social media. We are a secondhand, rare and collectable shop and online presence run by brother and sister-in-law team Chris Grogan and Suzie Grogan. www.framlinghambooks.co.uk
