Goldberry Books

@robertmays It is a bit of a bummer not to hear your takes on the bears and Vikings.

We made the choice a while ago to focus on the 5-6 biggest games in our weekly recaps because we can't provide the analysis and insight we're after if we try to hit every game. Our hope is that it gives people something unique on Monday mornings. twitter.com/PhenoMVP/statu…

Just had this exchange in the shop.

And he was recently interviewed on Withywindle @GoldberryBooks Gary Schmidt Gets Things Started play.acast.com/s/60afe40bca7f… via @acast

The great @ScottAvett of @theavettbros joined the show to talk about all kinds of stuff: art, creativity, the contemplative life, and, yes, books. Check it out wherever you listen to pods or via the link below. open.substack.com/pub/closereads…

@crwiley1962 We consistently sell out that book at our shop!

I haven’t posted any of my illustrations here. Perhaps it would be fun. Here’s my illustration of Tom Bombadil that to my surprise my publisher decided to use for the book that I wrote about him.

@bryancurtis sorry for getting in touch via Twitter, but we have a pod with interesting people about the books they live, and would love to chat with you about the best sports books. Figured I’d shoot the shot and see if you’re willing. Cheers

That is an aspiration!

My new book Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle is out today! The inside story of Colditz is a tale of the indomitable human spirit, and much else besides: bullying, espionage, boredom, insanity, tragedy and farce. Available now from wherever you buy your books.

This is a great book. (Good post on it, too). It is great alongside this year’s THE INTERNET IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS by Justin EH Smith and Wendell Berry’s classic essay, “Why I Will Not Buy a Computer.”

Fun mail day.

David Bowie was a genius artist and a deep thinker. In 1999, only 6 years after the birth of the worldwide web, Bowie spoke about the "unimaginable" effects of the Internet on society.

A while back Chris Beha (editor of @Harpers and author of THE INDEX OF SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ACTS) joined us for Bibliography to talk about some of the the books he loves best. If you love a good TBR list, tune in! #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">closereads.substack.com/p/chris-beha-s…

Madresfield Court (Worcestershire), where Waugh got the inspiration for the Marchmains

These gardens are what we're eventually going to go for with the shop.

@dakern wrote about our founding and mission for Memoria Press's magazine (by invitation of @MartinCothran). Seems like a good day to share. memoriapress.com/articles/the-r…

One of the best ways you can help indie bookshops is to just spread the word. Word of mouth is everything. So when you re-tweet, tag, etc. your favorite shops on this Indie bookstore Day it is a huge help to all of us.

@ShaxperJack @KSPrior @byronborger @EighthDayBooks @wtsbooks @Malaprops Malaprops is an O.G. name in the NC bookstore scene, no doubt.

@KSPrior @GoldberryBooks @byronborger @EighthDayBooks @wtsbooks A resident of North Carolina should know about @Malaprops in Asheville.

Shout out to some of my favorite independent bookstores in celebration of #IndependentBookstoreDay: @GoldberryBooks Hearts and Minds (@byronborger) @EighthDayBooks @wtsbooks 📚📚📚

It's Independent Bookstore Day, which is the day when we all celebrate the notion that books should be more than loss leaders. What a concept.

Tomorrow is @BookstoreDay. So, a big #ff to the indie bookstores of the QC! 👑 @ParkRoadBooks @mainstbooksdav @GoldberryBooks #ShelvesBookstore @BookRackNews @thatsnovelbooks @UrbanReaderBook #IveReadItInBooksCharlotte @SecondLookBook5 @EditionsShop #WallsofBooksCornelius 📚
