One of the great things about working in a bookshop is getting to see that there really is a reader for every book out there - you shelve a book you think no one will ever want, but one day, someone comes in & they've been looking for that book for years, & leave with it so happy

Isn't this amazing? All those tickets have been paid for by gorgeous, generous people in just one day! They are going to do so much good. Please keep sharing and talking about this. It's so important that books are made available for all children. Thank you so so much to everyone

I’ve seen a growing number of people throwing reading parties where they gather together once or twice a week for snacks and silent reading, and I can’t think of anything that would more improve our collective mental health.

A bookshop is a sanctuary. There are few other shops we enter & feel the change from outside to inside so acutely. Few other shops where the inside is also our own interior. Few other shops that hold us so gently, shelter us so strongly & maybe also change us so completely.

The oranges are really intense in this piece - they contrast with the wavy patterns in blue, red and brown. This was one of my earlier monotypes when the idea for the deep foreground was new and very fresh in its execution. #northeastart https://t.co/TvNEl08Eeh

"Fiction is an act of willfulness, a deliberate effort to reconceive, to rearrange, to reconstitute nothing short of reality itself." Jhumpa Lahiri #Books #Reading #BookTwitter

been signing emails + letters + books lately with “wishing you every gentleness.” because that is my wish. for myself, too

I love that the artist Matisse painted in a way to bring joy to those who saw his work. As he described it, “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter.”
