Bridge Books Dromore Co Down 📚

How to support an Indie Bookshop, or any small indie business, in a few simple ways.

To celebrate the @IrishBookAward, we're offering 10% off all the shortlisted books, between now and the awards on Dec 1st. If there's a book on one of the lists that I don't have in stock, just ask, and I'll get it for you. Offer applies both in-store & online. No code needed!

If someone decides to make another version of Wuthering Heights, James Nelson-Joyce would make a good Heathcliff, imo.

I would like to state, for the record, that is do not have a tattoo saying 'I LUV LOZZA' on my buttock. It says LOVE not LUV 🙄😉

An eight year old girl, Penny, shares the same birthday as me. She brought me a belated birthday present. I love a pine cone! (And yes, she got to choose a book as a belated gift from me. I'm not a complete monster)

Thanks to everyone who bought a copy of Gruffalo Granny between Sept 10th & Oct 10th. With our friends at @panmacmillan, we are donating 92 copies of It's The Gruffalo to the @NIHospice and to BPositive. We estimated selling 60 copies, so the extra allows us to share the spoils!

Today's theme for big new arrivals is PINK! Book 6 in the Acotar series phenomenon, A Court Of Splintered Harmony, and the poetry queen Donna Ashworth's, The Art of Being Easily Pleased. bridgebooksdromore.co.uk/pro…

Nature, innit. ❤️ – at Dromore, Northern Ireland

What size shall I get you all? I know @Dli_ODoir and @LWestwoodAuthor have already ordered theirs...

It's not even 9pm, yet it feels like it's about 11pm. The clock going back really messes with my head. To be fair, that isn't hard to do.

After an awful yet lovely week, I’m blown away by your support. Drawing a line under the nastiness so no #TopTenBestsellingTitles this week (you can guess 5 of them, and I dont need more hate). Instead, here's Tilly and Maisy who called for cuddles. Thank you all so much x

A milk chocolate Twirl covered in white chocolate. Happy birthday to me!

Today's #IrishBookADay prompt is 'Share a book you want to read from the An Post Irish Book Awards Shortlist'. My choice is All Them Dogs by Djamel White. #IrishBookWeek

I'm on catch up with #IrishBookADay for #IrishBookWeek, so here's yesterday's book for 'Share a Book set in Northern Ireland'. I've chosen the fab debut, She and I, from the wonderful human @_HanKing!

You know it will be a good day when a fellow Irish Book Award Shorlistee drops in & squiggles on his books! It was lovely to see @paddydonnelly again. Congrats to Paddy for three nominations in the Irish Book Awards! (My hair was giving 'hedge backwards' vibes, hence the 'hat')

I was a fun sponge yesterday, but today I have GOOD news! I’ve made the final in the @IrishBookAward! I'm over the moon to represent NI/The North and to be in such wonderful company. I've no notions of winning, I'm just delighted to be in the final. I'm going to need a new frock!

If this wasn't bad enough, now I'm being accused of doing it myself because, apparently the handwriting is the same as the note I have on the door about not bringing drinks inside. Yes, I wanted the expense of installing cctv and having the door repainted🙄 I'm officially done.

And so it begins. This is what I arrived to this morning. If there are any positives to be taken from it, at least they can spell. I could still cry, though.
