☎️ In between procrastinating my grad school assignments and calling my reps, I made a fun little bingo sheet! Let’s celebrate some of favorite indie bookstores this Valentine’s Day and spread the love❤️

💌 Which of these have you visited? And which ones are on your list?
A pink gradient with bingo spaces on it. Red text at the top reads “Valentine’s Day indie bookstore bingo (New England edition). Below that in smaller red text it reads “Because they love you so much more than big Bezos.” All of the bingo squares have an indie bookstore from the region listed. The list is as follows: Whitelam Books Andover Bookstore Book Ends The Book Oasis Bookshop of Beverly Farms Bookstore of Gloucester Concord Bookshop Copper Dog Books Dogtown Bookshop Lala Books Maxima Book Center Molly's Bookstore The Purple Couch Bookshop Saltwater Bookstore Silver Unicorn Bookstore Wicked Good Books Wickham and Willoughby All She Wrote Books Lovestruck Books Trident Booksellers Beacon Hill Books Bear Pond Books Stowe The Bookery Athena Books Antidote Books Crow Bookshop Riverbend Bookshop Curious Cat Bookshop Harbor Books House of Books Below the bingo squares in red text reads “template by @bookreviewsbrookes”

We know many of you are opting to write emails instead. Totally fine! But if you do so, we strongly advise against copy/pasting our call scripts into emails. Repetitious written msgs can easily get filtered out as form letters and trashed. Emails/letters are most effective w unique personal mgs! 🤓👍📞

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*

Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-
Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.

What do you use for your reading journal? I’d love to see! Here’s mine my lovely friend got for me for Christmas💜

Atop a purple blanket with yellow moons and white bunnies sits a purple journal with yellow, pink, and purple detailing that says “reading journal” on the front in gold. Next to the journal are pens in the colors of pink, purple, green, blue, and yellow.
