I know times are tough for all of us, but there is literally nothing in the #BookstoreRomanceDay coffers. I'm trying to put together some special virtual events over the next few months, but I need funds to do so. If you're able, please consider donating. gofund.me/33b48a4d

Sponsorships & donations are way down for #BookstoreRomanceDay for 2026. I don't want to have to shutter it, but I'm unemployed & don't have the funds to keep it going out of my own pocket. I'm considering setting up a Kickstarter & would love to talk to others who've done so. #Romancelandia

Okay I am digging out from underneath the costume avalanche and we’re starting out with a Book Dragon restock! I’ve restocked earrings and both sizes of statue ☺️

I'm creating a booklist for all of the books that came up in conversation & the chat during the Lost & Found Magic event & it's long & a lot & my eyes are getting tired, but worth it. So many great books for people to discover or re-visit.

A handful of new tickets have been added, but chances are good that they'll go fast. Save your spot now so you don't miss out on what is sure to be a fun, smart, lively conversation among an amazing group of authors.

I'm working on an idea for #BookstoreRomanceDay & need your help. What are some of your favorite Romance Graphic Novels or comics series? I have a few already in mind, but know there are a lot more out there than I'm aware of. By & about LGBTQ+ & BIPOC authors a plus. Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't be. Romance is a massive genre, and histrom is a big part of that. There are a metric ton of cishet white women writing M/M histrom. That queer men of color are being excluded or discouraged from this category is a problem publishing should be addressing.

@support.bsky.team Again. I've tried emailing you and received no response. This is tedious.

Godsdammit. @support.bsky.team What am I doing wrong? Is there a permanent fix for this issue, or a way for me jiggle it back myself? I am not ⚠️Invalid Handle

And yet again. Big, full body sigh. I would like nothing more than to be able to fix this in some permanent way or at least to know how to fix it myself. Please and thank you.
