Opened my copy of The Day Leap Soared by @blairbraverman.bsky.social & illustrated by @oliviawhen.com and it's even more gorgeous in person.

@honestdogbooks.bsky.social once again made the package feel super special.

The story, about Leap finding what makes her unique? 11/10

Starting Sunday off on a good note! Thanks @honestdogbooks.bsky.social for the cute dog drawing on the package and the awesome button (you found the perfect pig!).
My little nephew is on his way to be a big @blairbraverman.bsky.social and #Uglydogs fan!

6 years ago, I walked into What Goes Round to find a book of poetry, and walked having bought the bookstore. Changed the name, added new books, multiple subscriptions, online store, + 2 buildings, theater & bar. Here’s how we’re celebrating.

Buy from local bookstores! Check out @honestdogbooks.bsky.social in Wisconsin, where they hand-wrap your books in old fashioned brown paper, draw a dog on it and tie it up with a pretty string. 📚
Match that, Amazon!
Amazon announcing a book sale on Independent Bookstore Day is deeeeeeply evil. Find and support your local indie tomorrow! www.indiebound.org/independent-...

Diane Boyd arrived in MT as a graduate student in the 70s when there were no wolves. Zero! Now there are thousands and she was there for all of it. The good, the bad and the truly ugly.
Started this morning right listening to @honestdogbooks.bsky.social owner Julie Buckles interview wolf expert Diane Boyd on Honest Dog Books' podcast. Give it a listen, you won't regret it! honestdogbooks.com/dog-pod #uglydogs
