Every month we go behind the shelves at a different independent bookshop - we meet the owners, customers and pets. Bookshop dogs and cats are the best! If you’d like us to feature your local bookshop get in touch using the form below.
INDIE BOOKSHOP OF THE MONTH
Loyalty Bookstores, Washington, USA
Indie Bookshop of the Month: May 2023 - Tertulia
This month we’re taking you to Westport, County Mayo in Ireland. Tertulia is owned by Brid and Neil, who fell in love with Westport after taking a wrong turn! Tertulia is a space for book lovers, film lovers, a place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, meet old friends and new, chat about books and more! This indie bookshop is a perfect fit with Salon as the word tertulia means; a type of literary salon that was popular in Spain from at least the 17th century!
Celebrating 5 Years of Indie Bookshops!
To celebrate five years of our Indie Bookshop of the Month feature, we’re taking you back to City Books in Hove, the very first shop we featured way back when in July 2018! Read on to see our interview with Paul and Inge:
From the niche to the super-niche, from super-swank to pile-em-high second-hand, we LOVE independent bookshops! We want to highlight the high-street heroes who dedicate their lives to readers and writers so every month we’re celebrating a different indie profiling the owners and their tastes (and bookshop cats & dogs)
Meet Paul and Inge from City Books in Hove!
