Bridge Books Dromore@bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social · 7h agoIt's that time of year again when I lay myself prostate before you & ask for your vote in the Irish Bookshop Awards. It takes two seconds to vote & saying something nice isn't even compulsory! You’ll find Bridge Books Dromore in the drop-down menu 👇 Love Les x www.anpost.com/Irish-Booksh...

Well, yesterday was a day 🙈 Quietest in Bridge Books’ 31 years! I get it: good weather + holidays + loooming back-to-school = no shoppers. So, instead of staring at the kebab shop, I added lots of books online with 20% off all pre-orders. Please share! #BookSky 💙 www.bridgebooksdromore.co.uk
I can't match the multinationals' discounts, but I can offer 20% off ALL pre-orders (not just selected ones). If it's not on my website yet, just ask! Every pre-order helps this little indie bookshop more than you know. And if you can't order, a share goes a very long way.
Thanks for all your support this week! Holiday book shopping has kept me busy, and many of you were stocking up as I'm closed until Sat 18th. Enjoy the 12th celebrations (if that's your thing), I'm off for a big rest! This week's #TopTenBestsellingTitles for your delight! 👇
I'm calling this post 'Fiction Fiver Friday' because alliteration is my friend. Oh, and because each & every book in the stacks costs only £5. Why? Because they're last copies, event overstock, or they might have a teeny tiny damage on the cover. bridgebooksdromore.co.uk/product-cate...
If a tote is your bag, then these are the ones you need. Made from 100% cotton with strong double thickness contrast coloured handles, they will happily hold all your things. Plus, the book shaped pocket is ideal for slipping your latest read into!
What a week it's been. A mix of deeply worrying revelations and glorious weather. Thanks to everyone who's supported Bridge Books - stocking up on books for the garden, holidays, or a shady spot indoors. Your support means the world to me! This week's #TopTenBestsellingTitles 👇
A window full of colour and coordination to counteract the awful news stories and celebrate the sunshine!
It had to be done 🤷♀️ After matching Met Gala looks and Oscars gowns to novels, I’ve finally tackled football shirts: World Cup Kits as Books. Some pairings were instant. Others put up more of a fight than England in a penalty shoot-out, so don't laugh at the bad ones 🙈 🧵
Huge thanks to everyone who chose to shop indie during #IndependentBookshopWeek. Your support means the world, and it’s been lovely to see so many of you in the shop. There's still time to get 10% off online with code INDIE at Www.bridgebooksdromore.co.uk This week's #TopTenBestsellingTitles 👇

It appears I've been nominated for a Business Woman of the Year award. I've launched a full investigation into how this happened. Early theories include human error, mistaken identity, and wine. Vote (Lesley) if you'd like to make the situation even more hilarious 👇 ulstertatler.com/ut-awards-vo...

Drake www.drakethebookshop.co.uk/product/the-... Berts Books bertsbooks.co.uk/product/the-... Thanks so much for the support. We publish next week! 28th 🤩 #Whoop!
Not every book needs to be long to inspire a love of reading. Comics, graphic novels & short books are a brilliant way to engage readers of all ages. We also stock a fantastic dyslexia-friendly range from Barrington Stoke ❤️
Been into Bridge Books lately? You’ve probably noticed… there are a LOT of books. Space is needed for LOTS of new arrivals, so there's good news for bargain hunters: our sale section is packed with deals from just £1! Yes, ONE POUND! Last copies, be quick! bridgebooksdromore.co.uk/product-cate...
My signed copy from @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social arrived today! Love the map - and the presentation with the ribbon. Hugely looking forward to this...
Exciting new arrival!! To Rule All Under Heaven (2025) by Andrew Seth Meyer as supplied by Aunty Lesley of @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social who really believes that she rules all under Heaven! 😮 #sinology #histbookchat
I LOVE listening to writers and creatives, so last night's event as part of the Dromore Book Festival was a joy. Thanks so much to everyone who came along and to Hannah King for wonderful chairing! 🥳 I even managed to pickup a book 😊 @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social #dromorebookfestival #writing
Tomorrow (Mon 4 May @ 7:30pm) Dearbhla Mescal opens #DromoreBookFestival. Poet & author of Finding Joy, she inspires reflection & beauty in everyday life. Dearbhla will be chatting to @mikephilpott.bsky.social A few tickets left - join us! www.ticketsource.com/bridge-books...
Tell me it's #DromoreBookFestival next week without telling me it's #DromoreBookFestival next week... Www.ticketsource.co.uk/bridge-books
How about this for presentation? Nothing like buying a book about local history from a local independent bookshop. @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social @tomhulme.bsky.social P.s. Bridge Books are also running the Dromore Book Festival next week - check it out!
Just one week to go until this year's #DromoreBookFestival! (This time next week, I'll likely be a blubbering wreck 🙈) Some events have sold out or are close to selling out, so don't delay if you want to come along! Www.ticketsource.co.uk/bridge-books
There have been lots of new arrivals recently, but I guess I've been a bit preoccupied with a certain book festival to show them off. Have I mentioned #DromoreBookFestival recently? No? Well, you can get tickets via this handy link... www.ticketsource.com/bridge-books
I haven't met Dearbhla Mescal yet, but i know that I'm going to love her when I meet her at #DromoreBookFestival on Mon, 4th May. Anyone who takes time to sign their books in this way is going to be a darling! Come hear Dearbhla chat to @mikephilpott.bsky.social 👇 www.ticketsource.com/bridge-books
Dromore Book Festival author books are starting to arrive. It's getting very real now! www.ticketsource.co.uk/bridge-books
