A SALE YOU SAY? WITH QUEER BOOKS?
rainbowcrate.bsky.social Rainbow Crate @rainbowcrate.bsky.social · Oct 15
🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows, we are working on clearing older inventory from our packing center, which means it’s time for a SALE! Get up to 40% off select past books and 20% off select past boxes! Quantities are limited and once they’re sold out, they’re gone! 🧵
An image of 31 Rainbow Crate books. The books are arranged in five rows, with the books slightly alternating where they line up. All book covers face the camera, the books near the edges of the image are more cut off. Text along the bottom reads “Last Chance Sale” in white font with a red outline.

FYI: if any of you have DMed me or reached out privately, I don't have access to even read DMs because they come under the UK's age restriction barriers. I refuse to upload my data so I can be even more easily exploited and tracked. Feel free to DM on another platform if this is the case ♡
