IT’S TIME FOR SOME R&R! The bookshops are closed for Midsummer festivities and R&R (Reading & Relaxation) on Midsummer’s Eve and Midsummer’s Day (Friday and Saturday).
On Sunday we’re open as usual again (in Uppsala & Stockholm 12–17, in Göteborg 12–16).
Come rain, come sunshine – we’ll help you to stock up for Midsummer reading before the holidays.
GLAD MIDSOMMAR!
Oh, and in Uppsala we’re cheeky and close the shop half an hour earlier than usual on Thursday, at 18.00 (maypoles to dress and places to go…)
(security protocol currently unupdateable, but we don't ask for any personal info)

One family’s deepest pain. Another’s darkest secret. Who will they be when the truth comes out?
On a hot day in 1960s Maine, six-year-old Joe watches his little sister Ruthie, sitting on her favourite rock at the edge of the blueberry fields, while their family, Mi’kmaq people from Nova Scotia, pick fruit. That afternoon, Ruthie vanishes without a trace. As the last person to see her, Joe will be forever haunted by grief, guilt, and the agony of imagining how his life could have been…
The Berry Pickers is an exquisitely moving story of unrelenting hope, unwavering love, and the power of family – even in the face of grief and betrayal.

Would you kill for a good story? Roach – bookseller, loner and true crime fanatic – is not interested in making friends. She has all the company she needs in her serial killer books, murder podcasts and her pet snail, Bleep. That is, until Laura joins the bookshop. With her cute literary tote bags and sunny smile, she’s everyone’s favourite bookseller. But beneath the shiny veneer, Roach senses a darkness within Laura, the same darkness Roach possesses… Bringing together toxic female relationships and our cultural obsession with true crime, Death of a Bookseller is a compulsively readable roller-coaster of suspense that prompts discussion and reflection about the ethics of true crime and who really owns the stories we tell. // Discuss in the Crime reading group //
