Hi everyone! This is a note to say that if you want to support the shop, but are more likely to listen to audiobooks these days, you can still help out! We are now signed up with Libro.fm, and when you buy from or subscribe to their audiobook library via their Green Hand Bookshop page, we will receive a portion of the proceeds. This is also a great way to move away from using Amazon-owned companies such as Audible. Thank you in advance for your support! :D And... happy reading, however you enjoy your books! https://libro.fm/greenhandbooks LIBRO.FM Audiobooks that support The Green Hand Bookshop
Adding a few more fun essentials to our brand new books! Salem’s Lot is one of my favorite Stephen King books, and this is the perfect time of year to read it, as autumn creeps in on little catfeet and summer fades. And don’t get me started on how fun the new Robert McGinnis cover art for Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods”... 🤩 #newarrivals #neilgaiman #stephenking #book #bookstagram #greenhandbookshop

Today we honor Martin Luther King, Jr., a great man who spoke clearly. Please raise your voices to continue his good work today as we continue efforts to mend our errors instead of burying them in silence. “He has not organized for conquest or to gain spoils or to enslave those who have injured him. His goal is not to capture that which belongs to someone else. He merely wants and will have what is honorably his.” #mlkjr #speakup #voicesofcolor #POC #bookstagram #book https://greenhandbookshop.com/search?q=Martin+Luther+King
