Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Just sharing the news here that our newly redesigned website is live! Amanda's been hard at work over the past few weeks rebuilding it from the ground up. It was a wild undertaking for 1.25 people (Amanda did most of it, I helped a lil) but it is gorgeous + great:

It’s a slow hot Friday in Buffalo and I’m manning the shop at @eveninghouse.bsky.social! It’s nice to just get to soak up the space as our collection grows. Our website is a little behind but we’re working on getting it updated if you want to grab a good book even from afar:

Not to slag on these anonymous bookstores who are returning my book, but @powells.bsky.social and @eveninghouse.bsky.social sell copies of Still Alive like hotcakes—so might be a skill issue?

Malarkey @malarkeybooks.bsky.social · Aug 5

We have 13 copies of Still Alive that have been returned by bookstores. Now we can resell them for $13. Nice discount for readers and the press doesn’t lose out on the returns. Tossing in three zines and two stickers!

Not technically a Buck Bezos (I love you, Alive Girl) purchase, but still came in from @eveninghouse.bsky.social during Prime week; and the sale is still going on, so you should definitely check it out, because 10% off and helping out an indie bookstore run by amazing humans. BUT look at this haul.

Top row: In Universes by Emet North, A Cat At the End of the World by Robert Periṣ̌ić translated by Vesma Maric, Portalmania by Debbie Urbanski.
Bottom row: The Museum of Whales you Will Never See by A. Kendra Greene, Silk and Sinew edited by KP Kulski, We Are Dreams in the Eternal Machine by Deni Ellis Béchard.
