Saturday 8/21 is #bookstoreromanceday! Basically it’s a day to shout from the rooftops that we have a romance section and we love romance readers/writers! On the blog, check out a list of some of our faves (link in bio), or head to our YouTube channel and relive our virtual event with @authorabbyjimenez and @casey.mcquiston (pinned to the top of our channel!) You can also check out bookstoreromanceday.org to see what’s going on at stores across the country- including virtual events you still have time to register for! Even better, swing by the store and browse our lovely shelves. Don’t forget that booksellers are always happy to recommend or special order items if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for! Find your bookish #happyeverafter this weekend. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #romance #readromance
It's Women in Translation month, what should you read? With voices from Mexico, Côte d'Ivoire, Russia, Korea, Germany, and more, anything in this stack is 🔥🔥🔥. Seriously, this is probably the "theme month" that actually means the most to me (Annie) as a bookseller. You might recognize some of these titles from previous staff picks posts, blogs, or newsletters---thats no coincidence, because my favorite thing is to expose more readers to global literature. These days there are so many publishers doing wonderful work bringing translated literature to US readers, and I'm here to spread the good word. 🙌
Why not pick up this little gem over the weekend, then tune into our FREE livestream with @afrominimalist next week? Christine Platt will be in conversation with @nicolemcrowder live on Thursday 8/5. Streaming links in bio!
Happy pub day to Goldenrod by @maggiesmithpoet! 1 week from today she will join one of our favorite local authors, @alisonmcgheewriter, for a virtual conversation, and you can be there too! Follow the link in our bio for FREE registration. 💛 #poetry #indiebookstore #virtualevent
