The Great Divergence by Pomeranz.

If you're based in the UK, DM me the title and also the name and address to post it to.

Also, what's the magic word?

I was making my mental list to choose from while reading the post, until I read “UK only.”
Ugh.
Have fun. Happy celebrating.

Hi Simon :) I'd like to buy a book for someone this week. Anything their heart desires up to about £20.

I've been on the receiving end of the generosity of strangers a few times recently so time to pay it forward! I'll buy someone a book of their choice up to £20. Or if someone is struggling to choose a book, Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie.

amelie-clct.bsky.social•11 days ago

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to take you up on that offer. Your book suggestion is really fascinating to me and I'd love to read it.

@andyclyde.com

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's £9.99 + £2 P+P.

Is this OK @andyclyde.com ?

andyclyde.com•11 days ago

Definitely!

andyclyde.com•11 days ago

Shall I PayPal you the money?

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes please, thanks!

@amelie-clct.bsky.social can you DM me the book title and also the name and address you'd like me to send it to.

I'll send a copy courtesy of Andy.

amelie-clct.bsky.social•11 days ago

That's honestly incredibly kind of you. I haven't heard of Burnt Shadows before. What genre is it? Would you mind detailing what it's about briefly? 🥰

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

Blurb in alt text. @andyclyde.com

amelie-clct.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you so much 😊 it honestly sounds like such an amazing read!

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

You should ask for it.

whyalice24.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ok Simon I am happy to #buyastrangerabook
but this time a biography. Either Timothy West Pru and Me, Clive Myrie Everything is Everything or Paul Sinha's One Sinha Lifetime. Or a biography of their choice

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thanks!

I'll put out the three options to start with and if we don't get a bite, I'll expand it to any biography.

Does that sound OK?

whyalice24.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes that sounds good 👍 🙂

reeniemcmains.bsky.social•11 days ago

Love this!💕
Be even more fun to give away banned books… 😎

jsubbz.bsky.social•11 days ago

I wish you were NA as well!! I have been looking at how to spin yarn and there are two books I want to get but they're like both $50 :(

biggreenbooks.bsky.social•11 days ago

Phew. I'm glad i'm not in NA then! This is my money i'm spending!

melissaschuh.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’ll #BuyAStrangerABook to celebrate the end of term 🎉

Personalised recommendations are my jam, so don’t forget to mention what kinds of things you like to read and I’ll suggest accordingly 📚
