Hi there, this is Freya Blythe from the Bookshop by the Sea. I wanted to say a
00:03
massive thank you for winning Independent Bookshop of the Year
00:08
TikTok Book Awards 2024. It is such an honour, it's genuinely such a wonderful
00:14
thing to be recognised for the hard work that we do in our community and I love
00:18
that this is going to bring more tourists to our community in Aberystwyth
00:21
and in Wales and hopefully benefit all of the other local businesses as well.
00:26
We're doing a treasure trail that we announced yesterday on the day of
00:29
announcing that we were winning that will take people all the way around
00:32
local businesses and that'll be running all the way through the summer so
00:35
hopefully some of that traffic that we've got from this award will also
00:40
benefit the town as well. But it's just a genuine honour to see something that
00:44
started off and is such a community-based project in Aberystwyth,
00:48
such a community-based bookshop, to also have this worldwide community and this
00:54
outreach on social media that people genuinely feel like they want to see
00:59
the sunsets with us here in Aberystwyth and engage with our book club that we
01:03
also have online and to have authors like Jasmine Donaghey that we have live
01:07
in the bookshop in a couple of weeks time, we're also going to be doing that
01:11
as a hybrid event online live on TikTok as well and so to see the people who
01:16
are both able to engage in person and online is really exciting and something
01:20
a little bit new, a little bit of a positive way to use social media and to
01:25
reach people and inspire them to read more books. Thank you to everyone who
01:29
voted, I'm so grateful and
