@audreysbooksyeg
50-year-old indie bookstore in amiskwaciwâskahikan, Alberta. We sell new books, run a podcast called The Audpod, host author events, have a fabulous bunch of well-read booksellers, and are occasionally a bit snarky.
Thank you for your attention. We have nothing to say at this time. Please continue to pay attention at reasonable intervals. Something exciting will happen. We're sure of it.

At Audreys we get dozens of non-profit requests a month, and we do our best to support every one of them. It's important to us to be there for our community. And although we don't do it for 'marketing', we sincerely appreciate everyone who shows us love in return!
So, it's chilly, snowing, grey. This is so clearly Curl Up With A Book weather I don't know why I'm even bothering to post. Get on down here. Better, still, go to audreys.ca/lists/LuEKr4... and choose from February's great new releases for delivery STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR. #booksky #yeg
Soprano Book Club Feb 19th 7pm, Audreys Books. Tickets $16.
By Thursday it will have stopped snowing (right?) and you should definitely join us for Soprano Book Club. Erin V-P, Daniel Belland and Martin Galba (all-star line-up!) will treat us to some of the most beautiful soprano songs (and duets!) from musicals based on books. Bellissima!! #yeg #booksky
Our bookseller Sam has just read about this and is running around the store chanting 'Gormenghast, Gormenghast...' 😁
We'll be at this cool event to sell books. See you there, #booksky friends in #yeg.

A u-haul partially filled with boxes.
It's the month of teacher's conferences, and that means we're wildly busy getting tons of boxes of books packed, stacked and over to the exhibition centre. So many boxes that we can make box forts in the store. Teachers, find our stall and come say Hi. #booksky #yeg #netca
We got a new staff member, y'all. Come on down and ask him some weird questions (about books! keep it together, folks). Welcoming William to the Audreys Books bookseller team.

That's been a popular one with our booksellers, Rebecca. And we applaud your library use!
Our booksellers are picking the books they're most looking forward to in 2026. Kelly is keen on a new Lisa See, Levi chooses some wonderful literary releases, Sam & Sarah have a few delicious cookbook picks. Do you have any great titles on your radar, #booksky?
Tonight:
Audreys Book Club reads #Juiceboxers by #BenjaminHertwig 7pm Mon 26
#yeg #booksky
This award-winning novel by local author Benjamin Hertwig examines the effects of war on a group of young men. By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, this book promises a lively discussion tonight.

January is off to a good start with something new for everyone. Literary fiction, cozy fantasy and some fascinating non-fiction. Come by and have a browse... #booksky #newfiction #yeg
New Julian Barnes now in stock at @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social Meditations on writing, life, love and death. A lovely read, and really funny.
Anyway! I hope I will see you at the St. Albert Readers Festival event on Jan 23 with noted @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social bookseller @breetaylor0.bsky.social ! We will be talking books and publishing and climate grief and ?? who knows ?? we don't know (not yet!)

This one was on our radar for that eyecatching cover alone! But what a great story this looks. Can't wait to see Cherry find her self again!
Great rec, and we know we can trust your taste! This one now on order, and so is 'All Hail Chaos'.
#Booksky, what's your hottest pick for 2026? Our booksellers are putting their lists together and there are some FANTASTIC BOOKS coming out this year. Literary fiction is looking strong, and romance is blooming (plus of course EVERYONE WANTS SOME OF THAT HEATED RIVALRY ACTION). Give us your recs...

Two copies of "A Year With Gilbert White: The First Great Nature Writer" by Jenny Uglow.
#booksky, this is my top pick for nature lovers this festive season. This gorgeous book (lavish illus & fantastic book design) is a wonderful insight into the world of Gilbert White. His 18th C "Natural History of Selbourne" is considered the first nature writing. #yeg @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social
In just a few days we'll welcome @margaretatwood.bsky.social to Edmonton with a packed out crowd at the Edmonton Convention Centre. You brilliant #yeg #booksky folk have shown that Edmonton really does have an audience for fabulous authors. We hope to bring you more great writers in 2026.
Right, we're here, it's happening, the countdown begins. If you arrive at the store on 24 December and we don't have the book your nephew desperately wants, it's on you, bud. 😜 Time for #giftshopping #yeg #booksky Talk to our awesome booksellers to find that perfect gift....
SOLD OUT. The event is sold out and we have a pretty full waitlist, but we still recommend you sign up for the waitlist if you didn't get tickets in time. There will be no more tickets released (we are full to bursting), but cancellations will go to the waitlist first.
See you tomorrow #yeg #booksky friends...
