Other great finds @loyaltybooks.bsky.social in Petworth. Did you know they have a pop-up shop in The Parks by Historic Walter Reed? Worth checking out!

By a strange coincidence we picked this up today at one of our favorite bookstores @loyaltybooks.bsky.social in Petworth. The Mint sends out it thoughts to the President and his family.

What goes great with books? A cup of nice hot beverage. We are perking up our coffee cup collection and moved these two to the giveaway pile. They can be yours along with a couple of teabags of our favorite licorice tea. Stop by and browse!

What book made you become a reader when you were a kid? This is one of ours. It was a few summers before the Bicentennial and this brilliant YA book set imaginations on fire. April 19, 1775 was the beginning of No Kings for America. #americanrevolution #books

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.
