Tonight, I had a wonderful reading @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social w/ @johnmilas.bsky.social. Great questions asked, had great food w/ John & a long time fan gifted me a copy Grasshands he turned into a hardback! (I almost cried.) Making the hike to local bookstores to support PEERLESS has been great.

My hometown indie is @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social. They have a phenomenal collection of new and used books! They are/love romance readers AND have a fantastic horror section, too! They make this town feel home to me. I've made some of best friends there and I am so excited to celebrate tomorrow!

We might have gotten a few books at #abawinterinstitute this week. This national bookseller conference is a dream! What book should I pick up first?

One of the most fun things about the holidays is when people find a book that's been sitting lonely on the shelf for months and it's the perfect gift for someone. We love to see a book find its perfect person.

It seems like this should be common knowledge, but don't expect a bookstore to have a book in stock at Xmas time just because you saw it MONTHS ago in the shop. Like, inventory is fluid. Things sells. Sometimes we don't reorder them. 🤷♀️

We are still on Facebook because some of our customers still are, but the things it shows me on the feed when I am signed in are wildly transphobic and misogynistic or AI engagement baiting. And we're a progressive bookshop. Can't imagine what it's showing to other people as the default 😬🤢

People tend to romanticize dusty bookshops filled almost entirely with old books, and yes, it's still a room full of books, but every time I go to one like that I am thinking about who is missing in all those pages. All the women and BIPOC folks and queer people. I want to hear those voices.

If you aren't lucky enough to have an indie bookstore local to you, I've created a starter pack of the ones I know of on Bluesky, & I'm sure any of them would love & appreciate your business this holiday season.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

Any “best books of 2024” list that doesn’t contain even a single genre book is bullshit.

Charlie is such an amazing advocate for indie bookshops and we're lucky to live in the same world with her!
Also keep in mind that a lot of shops have had a less than stellar holiday season so far, so help keep them here!
