  1. As the evenings grow darker, who is up for a night on the sofa and a date with Murder, She Wrote? 🎃🍂🥧

  2. "The central #London #bookshop at the centre of controversy last month after selling copies of #AdolfHitler’s #MeinKampf has now also been found to be selling a #book that accuses #Jews of possessing “evil qualities” and reproduces excerpts from the #Protocols of the #EldersofZion, the JC can reveal.

    #Aafaq #Bookstore in #Westminster has been found to be selling copies of So That We Do Not Forget: #Jewish Crimes - #Zionist Resentment, an #Arabic-language #book dedicated to “every martyr whose blood was shed on the land of #Palestine, #Jerusalem, and #AlAqsa”.

    The book’s first chapter describes Jews as a “people who committed great sins and possess evil qualities, thus deserving the wrath of [God]. God Almighty has mentioned their characteristics and actions in the Holy #Quran, and how He punished them, yet they did not learn a lesson. Therefore, we must know their history so that we may be wary of them… God’s victory for the believers over the Jews is inevitable.”

  3. I stopped at Librarie Argo Bookshop in #Montreal last week and was delighted to find Queer Rites on their metaphysical shelf! I signed it, so if it hasn't been purchased yet and you're in the area, go get it!

    Argo is a gorgeous store with a beautifully curated collection. They specialize in books on linguistics and Japan, as well as books on marginalized groups and by marginalized authors, including books on race, gender, and queer issues.

  4. Dear English-speaking #indieauthor.s, can you help me out with a question on book catalogues? Currently my books are listed in the German VLB, but print on demand providers like Bookvault request the data from Nielsen. How can I get my book data into that Nielsen catalogue? In which catalogues do you list your books? @maryrobinette or @mwl maybe? RT welcome.

    Using Bookshop.org to Support Black-owned Bookstores

    1. Use the Store Locator; filter "Black-owned"; once upon a time they had a direct link, but alas no more
    2. Pick a store as recipient of your purchase subsidies; like Marcus Books
    3. Bookmark that URL in a place you will actually remember to use; Bookshop(.)org is a little tricksy and false and tries hard to forget your prefered bookshop and will divert your subsidies into the slush fund for all bookshops
    4. When buying or wishlisting books, start from the bookmark for your chosen store. Use Bookshop's own search form, not Google
    5. When ready to checkout out, start from the bookmark for your chosen store. Keep double checking during checkout. Make sure the "Thank you" / receipt page lands you back on your chosen store. Contact support if anything goes awry

  6. I have been talking about this book to many of my friends over the years but the English translation has been out of print since 1989. Finally I found an affordable copy of J.Bernlefs Dutch classic online at a second hand #bookshop in Boston. Not even the biggest of surprises since the story takes place in #Massachusetts. And got it delivered here in #melbourne
    But now others will have to read it, because I want to discuss this book with the people here in #australia that didn't grow up with this book on their high school reading lists. And the book is certainly a better read once you get a few years older than you were in highschool.
