I got my first glimpse of the gorgeous new #indiebookstore @wonderlandbookss.bsky.social in Bethesda today. It was hopping for #independentbookstoreday!
Also stopped by @childsplaytoys to get my #DCBookCrawl stamp and pick up the new book from @jamesrileyauthor.com and @randomhousekids.bsky.social!

I had a blast with #DCBookCrawl today for Indie Bookstore Day!
A spread of five books and a white canvas tote bag which reads "Politics and Prose Bookstore Independent Bookstore Day Saturday, April 26, 2025. The books displayed are Eat & Enjoy Gluten Free, Moby-Duck (not a typo, this book really is about bath toys lost at sea), and three volumes of The Murderbot Diaries which are the editions with two stories per each volume.

Stop #4 -Solid State Books! Nice big shop...and some air conditioning! #DCBookCrawl #IndieBookstoreDay #BookSky
This is an eye-level, outdoor shot of Solid State Books, an independent bookstore and cafe in Washington, D.C. The storefront on the ground floor of a brick building features a blue sign reading "SOLID STATE BOOKS" and a white section noting "EST. 2017." Large windows display the interior and have orange lettering spelling "BOOKS" on the left and a circular logo with a tree and the words "read gather listen sip" on the right. The interior appears cozy with wooden furniture and books. A concrete sidewalk is in the foreground, and a red arrow sign points towards the store on the left.

Independent Bookstore Day! Headed to downtown DC for a bookstore crawl! #DCBookCrawl #IndieBookstoreDay #BookSky 💙📚
A brightly colored, illustrated map titled "DC Bookstore Crawl" for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The map of Washington, D.C. features a stylized tree trunk at the bottom with branches reaching across the district, each branch marked with numbered circles indicating the locations of 20 independent bookstores. To the right of the map is a numbered list of the bookstore names, each accompanied by a unique logo or icon. The instructions read: "Visit six (or more) stores! Have a bookseller mark your map at each one. Get a prize at your final stop!" There are also fields to write the map owner's name and email address. Festive illustrations of books, cupcakes, and stars decorate the edges of the map.
