A lovely chat with @afsteadman.bsky.social about #Skandar to celebrate the paperback release of #ChaosTrials @simonschusteruk.bsky.social. Brief concern, I couldn’t find my #PhantomRider. But the stable is back together. Chat will be out on Thursday bit.ly/3WSjdqy #QuackedSpines
Allegedly it’s grim up north.
Don’t tell everyone but it’s just an ad campaign we run to keep it to ourselves.
Wednesday means a new -sletter it out! It's World Nutella Day (who knew?) so we are spreading (see what I did there) the book and snack joy...

When I first found out that the amusement park took pictures of me on their rides without my permission I was fluming.
it would be amazing to see you again sir, and hopefully we can find a hotel a bit nearer that doesn't involve you touring the whole of Teesside on the way to the venue 😁thanks @borolou.bsky.social for the heads up.
Better late than never, but I can't believe we nearly missed this one ...

It seems to have all got a bit much to be honest as we reach advent day 24 and the tree has finally given in but not before Richard got his last choice in. #katyabalen #ghostlines from @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social
Seems things are taking a darker twist as we hit day 23 for advent and Mel is taking a #Headshot! #RitaBullwinkel A brilliant electrifying debut!
Day 22 of advent and Eve figured #grisly #YA #Horror was the way to go!
#HouseOfHollow by #KMSutherland
Happy Christmas everybody!
Day 20 and Richard has been booked back in the “holding books so you can see the title” 101 class. That is unless @richardosman1.bsky.social wrote “We Solve Ders”. The less said about why is decided to stand on a chair the better I suspect.
Day 19 and Mel has decided it’s the season for #WhiteHorses rather than reindeer as she has #ADreamOfWhiteHorses by #PaulScraton
Day 18 begs the question why play games involving hunger when you can play games involving Inheritance! With @jenniferlynnbarnes.bsky.social #InheritanceGames
Seems a bit harsh but Han is suggesting #LetsSplitUp for advent day 17. Fortunately in this instance it’s the book @billwood.bsky.social wrote and nothing more terminal. 😂😂
Day 16 in in amongst the photo bomb from the Christmas tree is #BletchleyRiddle by @rutasepetys.bsky.social #SteveShenkein
Wartime mystery and interesting facts (Turing buried and lost some silver ingots!)
Day 15 and Mel is back again with a book so good they names it twice. #AnneEnright with #TheWrenTheWren from @vintagebooks.bsky.social Moving and beautiful!! A triumph.
Here we are again ….
Today, day 14 is mainly brought to you by #Bride by #AliHazelwood. Paranormal Romance … tick!
As we arrived at day 13 of advent. Han has taken us back to 17th Century France for this one by @lillielainoff.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social #oneForAll (I am the only one in the shop singing the muskahounds theme tune. )
Day 12 and I think people on the shop are wishing the image rights dispute was still a thing (just wait till the 24th😂)
Anyway Advent door 12 is set in the home of some epic people … Scarborough and is another brilliant story from #BenMyers #Bloomsbury
Day 11 already! And here we are again. This time #DonalRyan new #HeartBeAtPeace is Mel’s next choice. Beautiful and sentimental & Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year!!! From @transworldbooks.bsky.social
Phew just remembered still had to do day 10.
Advent day 10 is brought to you by Eve and #TheHousemaidsSecret by #FreidaMcFadden More twisty than a twisty thing!!!
Secretly quite impressed it took until day 9 before I failed at this. Here is the window for day 9. Han is back this time with #MLRio #GraveyardShift
Han suggests best enjoyed in the late hours, perhaps whilst on the …
Day 8 and the image rights dispute is over though the “hands over the title schoolboy error issue” isn’t 😂. For those who can’t see, today is #PiersTorday excellent #MidnightTreasure #QuercusBooks. Also smiling might be a thing to work on 😂
Day 7 of Advent & Mel is championing another #IndieBookseller today @pollyrowena.bsky.social with #ACompanyOfOwls from #ElliotAndThompson. Brilliant choice again. @samreadbookseller.bsky.social
Advent day 6 and we are back in the world of Romantasy with Eve & Powerless by #laurenroberts @simonsaysbooks.bsky.social
