I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

If someone told me I could magically fix one allergy or illness manifestation I have, I would immediately pick the onion intolerance.
I want a blooming onion SO BAD.
If I ate one now, I would be praying for death within 2 hours, and the horrendous intestinal pain is not worth it 😭
