Random reminder that this Africanfuturism anthology I edited while short (at 7 stories) is still available to read for free and includes an awesome story by Nnedi, a nommo-award winning story, and stories that have been reprinted in years' bests. Its all killer no filler.

It's an honour beyond any I'd imagined to have won the @ClarkeAward. I nearly fell down in shock when they said my name! I think the judges recorded the speech I gave and it'll be shared, but I wanted to say a little of it here, so, a thread:

Not-so-random question: are there any bookshops in London where it’s possible to work half-days/shifts of no more than five or six hours?

[Bluestocking BooksUK @bluestockingldn]

@steshark Any Amount of Books also and Books Peckham, and of course Cecil Court

[Bluestocking BooksUK @bluestockingldn]

@jademoiral aside from Oxfam and Amnesty shops, I know Books in Peckham buys some, and in Bloomsbury Skoob Books, just double check before bringing your books :-)

It’s #bookshopday today so what better way to spend the afternoon than to explore every one of Bristol’s independent bookshops? First stop: Bookhaus in Wapping Wharf, which was officially opened by David Olusoga in August last year. (1/12)

[History Today @HistoryToday]

Thomas Fisher kept a bookshop at the sign of the White Hart on Fleet Street, London.

#OnThisDay in 1600, he entered ‘a booke called A mydsommer nightes Dreame’ in the register of the Stationers’ Company.
