I can see the challenge, it’s an anachronistic West Texas regionalism for turning.

After a bit of a slowdown this summer, August is our highest month for print book sales so far this year!

The increase is mostly due to the final book in @cshumble.bsky.social's AMID saga releasing soon, pre-orders for @annieneugebauer.bsky.social's THE EXTRA, and Killer VHS fall restocking. 🌄🍃🍂🔪📼

A bar graph showing print order sales broken down on a monthly basis. August powers over the rest of the year, which was on a steady increase until a slight drop off in June and July.
