I love using the Suggest A Purchase form to have my library pre-order multiple copies of a book to 1) help boost those pre-order sales numbers and 2) snag that sweet sweet number one hold spot on a book before it even comes out.

A few (3 part series) thoughts on Latine spaces in speculative fiction.
"Keep submitting. Keep exposing editors to Latine voices. Show them we are here to stay and that just because our voices are unique and unfamiliar, that does not mean they are without worth." @apthayer.bsky.social www.frivolouscomma.com/part-three-o...
