CHANGE OF DATE! Storytelling for Children in the Uppsala shop will be on May 20th (instead of on the 13th). 

What happens when things are not quite what they seem and people says things they don't really mean?

Come to storytelling on Saturday 20th May in Uppsala and hear some stories about trickers who get a taste of their own medicine!

The English Bookshop in Uppsala was awarded the Årets Handel 2017 award (Shop of the Year) at an awards ceremony at Uppsala Castle last night!

”Wow. What a great night and wonderful morning.
Thank you, everyone, for your kindness and love.
We wouldn't be here without you!”

– Jan, Christer & Fantabulous Crew – custodians of the 2017 Uppsala Shop of the Year Award!

Reader of mystery novels?
Lover of crimes?

Join the Crime Reading Group in Uppsala! We meet once a month to discuss a mystery novel, either a more hard-boiled, noir kind of book (Tough Crime), or a more classic crime (British Crime). Leading the discussions is author James van Loon.

On Monday 24 April we’re dissecting Sunset City by Melissa Ginsburg and on Monday 22 May we discuss what’s making A High Mortality of Doves by Kate Ellis fly. (The novel that is, the doves aren’t flying anywhere...)

Sign up at the bookshop.
