Book Shopping at 3 INDIE Bookstores! 📚 | The Wirral's Best Kept Secrets + Book Haul!

Join my OFFICIAL Thriller Cult Book Club ✨ 💀   / @whatmichaelareads   Can we PLEASE talk about how WHOLESOME this bookshop day was?! 📚✨ Sarah and I went on a MISSION to visit EVERY independent bookshop on the Wirral and OMG the vibes were IMMACULATE! 💕 I know what you're thinking - "Michaela, you're on a book buying ban!" And you're RIGHT! But here's the thing... I found books by LOCAL AUTHORS who are literally MEMBERS of my book club and like... supporting indie authors is a completely different rule, okay?! 😅 I don't make the rules! (Actually I do and I'm changing them! 🤣) Today's adventure takes you inside THREE incredible independent bookshops: West Kirby Bookshop (with the CUTEST dog Princess Donut 🐕), Lingham's Bookshop in Heswall (featuring signed books and amazing events!), and Paper & Word (the UK's FIRST fantasy-only bookshop! 🧙‍♀️). From cozy community vibes to gorgeous bookish merch, we're experiencing the MAGIC of shopping local! 🎉 Plus you get to watch me hilariously justify breaking my book buying ban TWICE because "supporting local authors doesn't count!" 😂 The mental gymnastics are REAL, book friends! 📚 BOOKSHOPS FEATURED: 🏪 West Kirby Bookshop - Cozy community hub with events & book clubs 🏪 Lingham's Bookshop, Heswall - Traditional bookshop with signed editions 🏪 Paper & Word - UK's first independent fantasy bookshop! 📖 BOOKS MENTIONED: 🔪 The Murder at Black Alley Towers - Hannah Dolby 🔪 My Sister's Shadow - Danielle J 🔪 Ester is Following You - Cat Sarsons 🔪 All These Human Remains 🔪 Murder Manual for Psychopaths 🔪 Love Letters to a Serial Killer 🔪 The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre 🔪 Boy Parts - Eliza Clark 🔪 The God of the Woods - Liz Moore 🔪 The Women - Kristin Hannah 📚 Too Much Plot Reading Journal 🕯️ Cozy Reader Candle (Vanilla Musk) ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro: Book Buying Ban...

West Kirby Bookshop runs THREE book clubs (crime, litfic, and queer fiction!), Lingham's hosts author events with people like Elly Griffiths and Clare Mackintosh, and Paper & Word is championing the fantasy genre in the most beautiful way! When you shop indie, you're supporting real people, local authors, and keeping book culture alive! 📚💪 Also can we talk about how I found TWO local authors who are literally in my book club?! Like what are the ODDS?! Hannah Dolby and Danielle J both live in the North West and their books look INCREDIBLE! This is exactly why shopping indie matters - you discover authors you'd NEVER find at chain stores! 🙌 If you're in the UK (especially the North West!), PLEASE go visit these shops! And if you're not local, find YOUR local indie bookshop and show them some love! These places are MAGICAL and we need to protect them! ✨ Did I technically break my book buying ban? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not! Supporting indie authors is worth it! 💕 🔗 LINKS & STUFF: Audiobooks Free Trial: https://www.filify.co/SHEyJ 📱 TikTok:   / whatmichaelareads   📸 IG:   / whatmichaelareads   FB:   / whatmichaelareads   📚 Goodreads:   / 124449625   📊 Storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile... *affiliate link - I earn a small commission if you use this link 💌 Business Enquiries: whatmichaelareads@gmail.com #IndieBookshops #UKBookshops #BookshopVlog #SupportLocal #IndependentBookstore #BookHaul #BookTube #ThrillerBooks #BookCommunity #TheWirral #LocalAuthors #BookBuyingBan #BookShopping #ReadingVlog #BookLovers #SmallBusiness #ShopLocal #BookishVlog #UKBookTube #BookstoreTour #IndieAuthors #WestKirby #Heswall #FantasyBooks #CommunityBookshop #BookClubs #ReadingCommunity #BookBestie
