grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Nine Goblins by @tkingfisher.com is the most perfect start to the reading year. Short and perfectly formed. You will fall in love with the goblins. @titanbooks.bsky.social #booksky. 117220
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 21/11/2025I just love being a bookseller. Thank you @panmacmillan.bsky.social that's my weekend sorted. An upcoming addition to the Children of Time series by @aptshadow.bsky.social 🥳 1162
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 09/11/2025First brisket of the season. Not something we have every week, of course, but it felt like one of those days. 020
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Treating myself after a very hectic week. 010
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 21/10/2025@penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social know how to make a bookseller very happy. @caimhmc.bsky.social with Ring the Bells and Tales From The Stranger Times I have had a really enjoyable week. 071
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 13/09/2025On my week off, I bought one or two books....and a Jellycat 😂 Visits to Waterstones York, Edinburgh West End & Durham. 100
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 03/05/2025I really, really dislike spiders, but this one was just chillin' minding it's own business. 000
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Can our intrepid duo solve the mystery of the kidnapped gentleman via a series of bank robberies, and find the beagle? Absolute genius....funny, quirky, thrilling, the Victorian age on electricity. #booksky 010
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 05/04/2025I have loved The Ink & Sigil series by @kevinhearne.bsky.social. Candle & Crow is a very satisfying conclusion & I will miss Al & the gang. Also took note of all the book recommendations. #booksky 041
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Thank you to @orbitbooks.bsky.social for this beautiful book by M R Carey. Not sure what I was expecting, but I loved this medieval, monstrous, magnificent seven. Ideally paced, plenty of action & unexpectedly brave & honourable characters. 000
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I'm not a huge fan of spiders, but I love Arachnophobia. 100
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Strange Beasts by #SusanJMorris was a lot of fun. An excellent mash-up of gothic horror & Sherlockian crime drama. Will keep you guess. #booksky 050
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 10/03/2025I didn't realise that one of the benefits of having boiler replacement work, was having the time to finish the most excellent The Hidden Legion by @snorrikristjansson.bsky.social Loved the premise, the setting & the eclectic cast of characters. Looking forward to picking up The Silent Emperor. 110
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 09/03/2025When you come home from work & your husband sees your new book 🙄. My TBR pile is not getting any smaller, although Rose/House is a novella, so TBR is not much taller. 😂 #booksky 130
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Also received my copy of The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com. I didn't realise there would be illustrations. A beautiful book, inside & out. #booksky 1333
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Excellent book post from @orbitbooks.bsky.social. #booksky 060
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Publishers bringing their A Game. To Cage A God looks beautiful. #booksky 030
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 27/02/2025The Runes of Engagement from @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social & @daveklecha.bsky.social is a hugely enjoyable mash-up of military & fantasy tropes. Action-packed, nerd reference aplenty & props for naming the British base after Commander Vimes. #booksky 143
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Did I need more books? No. Do I want more books? Yes. 😂 #booksky 060
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 23/02/2025The joys of being a bookseller, showing off the new titles you're excited about. #booksky 1192
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 15/02/2025@garethlpowell.bsky.social Future's Edge out in the wild a little early. 020
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I must thank @scalzi.com who featured The Serpent and the Knife in Whatever. A fun all-action ride across multiple dimensions. Espionage, smart-arse AIs & complicated relationships. 000
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 29/01/2025"The Dead Cat Tail Assassins are not cats. Nor do they have tails. But they are most assuredly dead" Just love @pdjeliclark.bsky.social stories & the above is a wonderful example of the quirkiness of the story. Assassins, contracts with dark gods, friends & honour. Plenty of action & tension too. 010
grumpybookseller.bsky.social @grumpybookseller.bsky.social · 19/01/2025So, my first post is a book recommendation. Stuart Turton has done it again. The Last Murder at the End of the World is a future-set distopian murder mystery. Amazing world-building & fascinating characters. Twists & turns aplenty. #bookrecommends 1103
