It was so fun talking about your books and other people's books with you. I loved that someone randomly bought Margaux's book while we were talking about it! Bookstore magic!
This weekend was the first time I’ve worked up the nerve to walk into a bookstore and tell them I wrote a book, and… it wasn’t a disaster! Thanks to Margaux Meganck and @earldizonwriter.bsky.social at Green Bean Books for making this as painless and fun as possible!

I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't get approved to read the Arnold Lobel picture book biography coming out next week. But at least I can read it next week and we'll have four copies in the store.

Appreciated hearing from someone that Louder than Hunger by @mrschureads.bsky.social really helped the young reader- and their entire family- be able to discuss a serious topic. Hopefully, it's just the start of more conversations to help them deal with it. bookshop.org/a/6720/97815...

The highlight of being a bookseller this week was getting to reunite a kid with her bunny stuffie. I noticed they had left it at the store. I'd overheard the mom saying they were going to the co-op next. After wandering down the wrong aisles, I found them and gave the girl her toy. #BooksellerLife

My first read of 2025 is also my first #FilipinoReads of the year. It's the forthcoming #PictureBook New by @ninamataart.bsky.social and publishes May 6th!
