I’m aware. I care. I’m just not posting about it here.
OH MY GOD the mayoral race flipped to the challenger (YES!!!!!!!) but it's, right now, a difference of SEVENTY-SEVEN (77) votes and the County Republican committee has already (as expected) asked for a recount.
More waiting, but I'm so, so hopeful.

Tell me that the town council is going to flip easily, but the mayoral race is likely going to a recount (right now, a difference of 209 votes).

They're going to expand further into distribution with Baker and Taylor's demise too. B&N made the smart move of building around their local communities.
In fact, B&N has been expanding rather a bit recently; their sales are up and they've refreshed their stores. And independent books stores have been growing in numbers too! It's been quite a turnaround for brick and mortar bookstores in the last couple of years. I hope it lasts.
I'm more shocked they're still opening new B&Ns.

If it's true about Cory Booker being one of the Senators to cave I...
...honestly would not be surprised in the slightest. Hoping he finally gets primaried in 2027.

The Origin bags honest to goodness saved me more than anyone will know this summer. If you're attending #IBBYRegional25, GET ONE.
@angusyk.bsky.social, the book hasn't made it to our new shelf yet. It was checked out the moment I finished processing it. 😍

The publisher’s sales slipped 2% in the quarter ended September 30, and earnings had a steep fall due in part to the write-off of $13 million owed to HarperCollins by the recently collapsed Baker & Taylor.

Am I continually refreshing the County Clerk's results page to see if any write-in ballots have been added to a certain, currently very narrow race whose result will have a great impact on my job?
Maybe.
