Heading off twitter, please bibliomaniacs follow on insta or website mailing list. Will be trying to follow everyone on insta/email lists/websites before going. Happy Halloween :-)

Random reminder that this Africanfuturism anthology I edited while short (at 7 stories) is still available to read for free and includes an awesome story by Nnedi, a nommo-award winning story, and stories that have been reprinted in years' bests. Its all killer no filler.

It's an honour beyond any I'd imagined to have won the @ClarkeAward. I nearly fell down in shock when they said my name! I think the judges recorded the speech I gave and it'll be shared, but I wanted to say a little of it here, so, a thread:

Anyone obsessed with local history will be delighted by the Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre’s fabulous local history bookshop, which has books, maps, prints of Camden and other parts of London, all available online. Camden.gov.uk/local-history-… camden.gov.uk/documents/2014…

A fantastically illustrated book on bookshops, congratulations to artist Natalie Kay-Thatcher! Look at the #endpapers

Not-so-random question: are there any bookshops in London where it’s possible to work half-days/shifts of no more than five or six hours?

@steshark Any Amount of Books also and Books Peckham, and of course Cecil Court

@jademoiral aside from Oxfam and Amnesty shops, I know Books in Peckham buys some, and in Bloomsbury Skoob Books, just double check before bringing your books :-)

Susan Cooper stans activate!

📖 Jane Eyre was first published #OnThisDay in 1847. Poet and novelist Charlotte Brontë drew inspiration from the rugged Yorkshire landscape surrounding the @BronteParsonage. Here we look at some historic buildings connected to the Brontë sisters ⬇️ heritagecalling.com/2016/04/21/7-b…

It’s #bookshopday today so what better way to spend the afternoon than to explore every one of Bristol’s independent bookshops? First stop: Bookhaus in Wapping Wharf, which was officially opened by David Olusoga in August last year. (1/12)

Thomas Fisher kept a bookshop at the sign of the White Hart on Fleet Street, London. #OnThisDay in 1600, he entered ‘a booke called A mydsommer nightes Dreame’ in the register of the Stationers’ Company. bit.ly/2OsjWfZ
