Me after having to buy something to replace the thing I bought in surplus only to have the husband lose them after "putting them in a safe place where we won't forget" and then NOT telling me where they are before HE forgets where he put them....

As I get older, I find myself getting more frustrated with book covers that are too cluttered and/or the fonts are too fancy for my old eyes to read...even in thumbnails. 😢 #booksky

A sepia-tone profile of a young Black woman against floral wallpaper, reminiscent of 1850s ambrotype photography. She is wearing a high-necked collar, and her coily hair is upswept to reveal dangling skull earrings. A skeletal hand rests on her shoulder. Text reads: PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE EDEN ROYCE "A deeply loving exploration of grief, loss, and the righting of past wrongs."—Moniquill Blackgoose, author of To Shape a Dragon's Breath

Solidarity with indie bookstores now and forever, send books into your hands not pop stars into space

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

I almost bought a book off AbeBooks until I remembered that it's owned by Amazon too! Whew! Dodged that bullet! I can't tell you what to do, but if you're interested, here's a list of Amazon-owned companies. #AmazonBoycott #blackbooksky #booksky

This doesn't sound right to me. Itler WAS definitely racist and I believe FDR DID ignore Owens. I haven't read Owens' autobiography. Is this short video true, or is this a blatant attempt to rewrite history and normalize Nastyism? #blackbooksky #booksky

There's an #AmazonBoycott until March 14. I've been weaning my dependence on Amazon for months. I'm old enough to know life without Amazon. It's nothing but a search engine. I'll find products there and spend my cash elsewhere. #booksky #blackbooksky
