Missing a few of our stalwart Booksharers tonight (one due to a fall from her library steps - a very bookish injury! Don’t worry, she’s going to be fine) but lots of lively chat and some delicious books shared, from page-turners to timeless classics. Join us on 10 July for more!

What a lot of lovely books! Shared by a lot of lovely people who came along to Deal Bookshare on Monday evening. We dined and chatted and talked about books and all sorts of other things. If you fancy doing the same, come along to the next one, on 14th August. 📚📚📚

2 years ago today we witnessed the last harvest on this site near Margate #Thanet #Kent. Soon to be 450 houses to fund the road which will obliterate the rest of the view & impact the last area of dark skies full of bats & owls.

How many of these classic books can you tick off?

Such a wonderful novel, and such a bargain right now - but be quick!

A favourite read with Deal #booksharers! Thanks for sharing.

A great turn-out at last week’s #Bookshare, and a bumper crop of brilliant books shared - look at all these gorgeous titles! For more like this, join us upstairs at @81BeachStreet on 9 October 📚📚📚

Rather a compact little gathering by comparison to last month’s #Bookshare, but still some great titles on the table for sharing… Do join us upstairs at @81BeachStreet on 13 November – bring a book to talk about and go home with a different one! 📚📚📚

Horrible news for a small indie bookshop in those all-important days running up to Christmas… let’s do what we can to help. And hope whoever did it get salmonella from their turkey…

Yesterday was our 10th birthday so we had cake and fizz at our spiritual/actual home of @81BeachStreet and our wonderful mentor Bee from Bee's Bookshare joined us with booky gifts (of course!) - do join us to begin the next decade! 📚📚

Happy World Book Day!

Great #Bookshare last night - delicious food at @81BeachStreet, lots of good bookish chat… and here are just some of the lovely titles that landed in the middle of the table for sharing. Because that’s what we do! Do join us next time…📚🥰
