You may not be able to tell from my bio abilities, but I’m a writer! I’m also a bookseller! Let me tell you what books to read!
Did you know today is the ExtraGive?!? It’s a great time to support your favorite organizations and the nonprofits that keep this world afloat.

One of those organizations is Gracie’s House. I started working here earlier this spring, and it’s been an incredible opportunity.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I love getting the chance to re-read one of my favorite books of the last year for book club @aaronsbooks.bsky.social! Can't wait to tell everyone how much I love it 😍

Speaking from recent experience, I highly recommend not reading I Who Have Never Known Men and The Memory Police back to back… 📚💙

In our opinion, a visit to the bookstore actually *is* the answer to your problems 📚💙

If I'm reading an 800 page book, I really think I should be freed of all other responsibilities 📚💙

You know you’ve been at a bookseller conference when you develop a shoulder bruise perfectly matching the strap of a tote bag full of books 📚💙

After years of emailing back and forth, I finally got to meet @mcflycahill90.bsky.social in person! I can’t wait to read Audition for the Fox - congratulations on your debut 🎉

I’m part of a panel next week on Social Media for Bookstores (contrary to what my personal accounts look like, I’m a pretty good Social Media Manager 😅).

If you were a bookseller attending, what would you want to hear about?

That’s what we’re all about here at Gracie’s House. Thanks to all families and campers for coming to have fun with us! And thank you to the staff and admin at SMYMCA, and to our epic volunteers for making our time at camp safe, special, and full of love. ❤️

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Well I asked my indie bookstore for a recommendation and they found me the perfect book 💙📚

It’s me! 🥰
With Pride month almost over, we wanted to show off a few more of our favorite LGBTQ+ books! You can find these and more in the shop all year long 🏳️‍🌈

Friendly reminder that Indie Bookstore Day is this Saturday, and that it’s definitely not a coincidence that you-know-who is having a giant book sale at the same time 👀

I spent my morning writing almost 1,000 words about the show 9-1-1 because...why not?

Did 9-1-1 Make a Major Mistake This Week?
In which I spend nearly 1000 words ranting about a glorified soap opera.
