I apologize to the other books I was reading when I started this one that will now be abandoned until it's finished.

I should've known better...
Next read for the eyes and ears

My friend's flight was ultimately canceled last night, and just after she boarded this morning, they delayed them two hours due to staffing shortages at O'Hare.

My best to all you travelers out there.

Still buzzing from the fun that was this weekend. Great friends, great books, great authors.

Can't wait to do it again next year.

My friend found a signed copy of Acquired Taste by @claymcleod.bsky.social at the bookstore today. Would it be in bad taste for me to steal it out of her luggage before she leaves tonight?

On the way to my event here, late as usual, Texas book festival, Chipotle tea in hand, and we see this Psycho long line of people on the sidewalk, not where we’re walking. I mosey over, ask who they’re in line for, and: me. Thanks, y’all. Should be fun.

A real thing that just happened:

Found a signed @sgj.bsky.social book at BookPeople that I already own, also signed, so I left it. Decided I needed it anyway and went back to grab it. Just as I was walking up to the shelf, a lucky guy swooped in and snagged it.

Happy for the guy. Sad for me. 🔪🩸📚

After a full day of books here in Austin, my friend and I are headed back to BookPeople for breakfast and more books.

Because, you know...books 💙📚

My guys got a cabin for the weekend while I am playing in Austin. Their view is prettier. 🍁

And they have Pickles. Always better with her.

Hitting up one of my favorite bookstores tonight with my favorite person to share books with. Wearing the shirt to prepare.

Text from my bf 😂:

When I was checking out, the woman at the front desk told me, “and if I don’t see you for the rest of the day, I hope you find relief from your stress that will allow you to rest and shine bright again.” There has never been a nicer way to tell someone that they look like shit.

Growing up were there any moments in movies that traumatized you?

Well...yeah...

I am doing my best to finish up the physical novel I am reading (The Last Witch by @cjcookebooks.bsky.social, it's phenomenal) so I can load up and read a bunch of books at the book festival this weekend. 50 pages to go...

We have a number of exciting upcoming releases from authors who also have new titles coming soon with other publishers...

Here's a thread of some great new books you should pick up from other presses while waiting for these authors' new Shortwave titles!

Dex did this in his law class today. Should I be worried, @stephenking.bsky.social?

Reading this one with DJ.

His first time. My second.

Was trying to come up with a funny reason I was wearing this Jaws shirt today, but the real reason is because it's Thursday, and I wear Jaws most days.
