The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop
@ylbooks.bsky.social
In all our forms - bookshops in Gloucestershire, a festival or two, schools and libraries. Occasionally Hereward. Less often, Errol the dog.
Our August newsletter is published 📩 Featuring @olgawojtas.bsky.social @karenllo.bsky.social Sarah Close and @ylbooks.bsky.social, as well as events, including @womensprize.bsky.social shortlisted Rozie Kelly & Marcia Hutchinson joint book tour! sarabandbooks.substack.com/p/august-at-... #Booksky

Not a bad evening for a gardening event. Thank you Rodmarton Manor for hosting.
Do you have a copy of Jekyll and Hyde? No, I'm really sorry. But I can order one for you. No, I need it for today to teach my son a lesson. Oh, right... Yes, he's a right bastard and I need to help him understand what happens when he drinks.
Mother’s Day. Forget flowers or a meal out. What mums really want is £100 to spend in their local indie bookshop. We’re open 11-4. Make your mum’s day. Then take them to the pub.
We never need an excuse to read a book written by a woman. Here are some of our current picks. Happy International Women’s Day! #iwd #internationalwomensday #readwomen
Forgive us! We've been quiet as a mouse on our socials for a while... sorry. But no longer! Two new things in the shops (and online), 'Author of the Month' and 'Publisher of the Month'. And excitingly, Patrick Gale is coming to Stroud next month. Book here: ylbevent.link/love-lane
Hi @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social , saw this fetching display in Yellow Lighted Books in Nailsworth yesterday @ylbooks.bsky.social I also had my first stab at alt text.
Have been laughing for far too long after walking past a Cambridge pizza place and seeing it offers a CORPUS CRUSTI
Wow, thanks Matilda! @ylbooks.bsky.social is such a gorgeous independent bookshop. If you order from them, they will post you the book wrapped in brown paper with a special stamp ♥️ Last day to order for Christmas! 👉 yellowlightedbookshop.co.uk/product/no-f...

I like to think I make up for this treachery by making websites for a song for all the non-Cormac McCarthy writers who are as broke as I am... handpressed.net

Nick@handpressed.net · 9mo agoI know it's not the done thing but you can get a collection of six Cormac McCarthy novels for just under 20 quid on Amazon right now. Doesn't include my favourite, Suttree, but still... 20 quid for six great novels.
The very wonderful Mary Keen will be with us at Brimscombe Mill on Friday 14th November at 7pm. 'What's your favourite garden?' people ask. 'Mine, of course'. ylbevent.link/keen-gardener

We’ve got a new sheep stamp for our bags! Guess which forthcoming title we got it for and we’ll put you in a draw to win a copy of the signed indie edition…
Sadly I have yet to meet Jonathan Main at Bookseller Crow. However, I know him to be a very good thing. Jon is rather under the weather & they need a bit of an umph. If you were going to buy books from us online in the next few days, please don't. Buy them from them instead. booksellercrow.co.uk
There are two great books by Lake District authors that feature ducks quite strongly. One of them is with us in Stroud next month. Tickets and info here: ylbevent.link/rebanks
