It's Bookshop Day! π An annual celebration of all high street bookshops - special places of creativity, learning and imagination π Bookshop Day celebrates the contribution that bookshops make to communities - things that online retailers like Amazon lack π #ChallengeAmazon and #choosebookshops
The temperature is getting colder and the night's are getting longer which means it's time to find a new book to curl up with!
This #BookshopDay, visit your favourite local bookshop to find your next read. Here are some Calon books we've spotted out and about for inspiration!
It's #BookshopDay & some great ones that St Brigid & Other Amazing Irish Women & I have been to are:
The Secret Bookshelf, Carrickfergus.
Bridge Books, Dromore.
No Alibis Bookstore, Belfast.

Lots of new books out this week. I am currently surrounded by signed and limited editions out on Thursday, photos to follow.
This one is out today - signed copies of Michael Douglas' first and full autobiography, One Helluva Ride.
We should really post this as we mentioned it earlier, signed Michael Douglas, One Helluva Ride.
Released on 6 October, available to pre-order now, in store collection only.
Lots of new books coming in. Never mind the signed Michael Douglas, much more prestigious is Red River Valley from @imcmillan.bsky.social
I think my colleague's already read most of it, chuckling as I type.
Tonight! We welcome Alex Howard and all moggy maniacs to discuss cats, people, more cats, Edinburgh, the rest of the world, boats, and probably some more cats!
So join us from 6.45pm in St Peter's Church this evening - tickets available on the door! #ChooseBookshops
Settled my sick family member for the afternoon, so itβs outside chores and book shopping!
I found a Jack Vance in a secondhand shop Iβd never heard of, but it was in too dirty a condition.
Went to my local indie and bought a @blpublishing.bsky.social crime book instead!
A little Christmas offer for independent bookshops ππ±
If you stock Natureβs Acre for Christmas, I'll send you signed bookplates for your copies.
And if you post about the book, tag me β I'll share it with my audience and give your shop a shout-out too.
