@petergleick Adding a link to the UK equivalent, Hive, & an independent bookshop that I like to support:
hive.co.uk/Shops/Between-the-L
- but if you can visit in person you will find additional books not available online, such as the new 'History of Great Bardfield' (with a chapter on its #14thCentury prosperity due to the #LadyOfClare). From personal experience, great conversations may ensue!

@shoofle … & to allow oneself to be infected by small joys while supporting diverse workplaces & supply chains, human scale, flexibility & resilience? Please don’t discourage me from believing in the transformative potential of #SmallBusiness!
& the possibility to inspire even after closure… reflecting today on #IndieBookshop #MountZero & the affection & #community it developed in #HongKong: hongkongfp.com/2024/04/02/in-p

Thinking of #14thCentury #Oxford thanks to the splendid #MedievalMurderMaps, I'm delighted to see that the #OxfordMedievalMysteries are on sale again. These evocative #novels by #AnnSwinfen are set in 1353-4, the adventures of a young #bookshop proprietor as life & business begin to normalise after the #plague.
Buy from hive.co.uk/Search/Search?Serie & support your favourite #IndieBookshop, so that they too may live to write a #Bookseller's Tale!

I just went to Wellfield #Bookshop to pick up a couple of #books for my #TBR pile. It’s the closest #IndieBookshop to me and I can always buy something good from there.

I’ve seen Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch around for a while now, but it’s taken me this long to get it. I’ve also heard of The Tatami Galaxy by Tomohiko Morimi. Apparently it got turned into an #anime, but I know nothing more than that.

A book cover with a stylized map of London. The title "Rivers of London" is written in cursive. Ben Aaronovitch, the author's name, is written above it. The tagline at the top reads "A bestselling Rivers of London novel". A quote from The Times reads, "Witty, well plotted, vividly written and addictively readable".
A book cover with a collage of drawn people and objects. The largest is a woman with black hair facing to the left holding a camera to her eye. At the bottom of the collage are the words, "A Novel". The title "The Tatami Galaxy" and the author's name, Tomohiko Morimi, are written vertically on the left and right. At the top a quote from Robert Sloan reads, "A perfect slice of contemporary Japanese pop... I loved my voyage through The Tatami Galaxy." A circular silver badge reads, "Pen America Literary Award Finalist". At the bottom it reads, "Translated by Emily Balistrieri".
