Now this is good @bookshop.org news. (Still salty about then partnering with Spotify, though.)

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I’m still on hiatus from this platform, but I’m incensed about Bookshop partnering with Spotify and have to spread the word. (See my earlier post.)

ICYMI, @bookshop.org has decided to partner with Spotify. Y’know, the same music streaming service that accepted $$ to run 🧊 ads. For some strange reason, Bookshop seems pretty shy to let readers know about this. Gee, I wonder why. newsroom.spotify.com/2026-02-05/b...

I guess idk how Bluesky works bc all these non-followers are interacting with my last post yet when I post reviews etc it’s like pulling teeth to get any type of interaction from followers or “moots” as the kids used to call them on twitter. (& let me b*tch, I don’t need an explanation thx)

Hi, good morning, this is another random PSA that AI-generated images suck and they definitely don’t belong in creative spaces where you’re promoting books written by real people. Have a nice day.

And a new #T5T / #Top5Tuesday is now up at my blog! Today's topic was Top 5 Covers of 2025. It wasn't easy because I had quite a few GORGEOUS covers, but I managed to whittle it down! #BookBloggers #Blogging #Books #CoverLove #BookSky📚💙 twirlingbookprincess.com/2025/12/top-...

Today I'm reviewing AS MANY SOULS AS STARS by Natasha Siegel! 💙📚🌈 "Another Siegel book that will sit on my shelf of favorites. The characters and their relationship, as well as the story's premise, were all incredibly compelling... Siegel is now an auto-buy author for me." 4.5⭐

Today is the 10th anniversary of me launching There's Always Room For One More. TEN YEARS. I might rewatch Grosse Point Blank tonight, but first: come find out how our reading tastes compare as I share 40 favourites that are standing the test of time

10 years, man. 10 YEARS

Today is the tenth anniversary of me becoming a book blogger and launching There's Always Room For One More. TEN YEARS. There's a lot of Grosse Point Blank vibes today, without the assassinations. I copied across a lot of older reviews from LiveJournal and LibraryThing, but this is the big day for this blog. I'm surprised and delighted and proud to still be here, however inconsistently, and hugely grateful to my regular readers and bookfriends who have made this such a rewarding hobby.

Well, this morning’s sourdough baking is not going as planned because the fridge breaker tripped last night, which means my dough overproofed in the fridge and is barely rising in the oven. 😭
