🌈 In this newsletter: A round up of all FIVE events we have coming up next week (!!!), a new booklist from bookseller Carey, a very special announcement of an annual activity (you've got to open the newsletter to find out what it is!), and a super cute pet photo of the week.

In 2024 I took the train to St Louis for the Bury Your Gays release, this year I went to Chicago for the Lucky Day release.

Fingers crossed we’ll get a closer date for 2026 (my birthday IS in July 😉)

Cards are also available on our website if you’re not local bobzbay.square.site/shop/greetin...

Jamie at exquisite goes ALL IN on Halloween, she’s done stranger things the past 2 years and always adds something new. I’ll see if I can dig up some photos from years past this week :) she’s trying to get the whole block to be Hawkins-fied but no one is as artistic as her.

Also, this is your reminder that YES - we do take books as a donation or for store credit. Find more info here: bobzbay.square.site/book-trade-ins

Also! The sticker is by @catrocketship.bsky.social and I didn’t order enough BUT they’ll be available starting Saturday.
