Thanks to @baihlywdio.bsky.social and crew for this sweet segment on the bookstore, bar, theater, and community space. Plus, a visualization of a honest dog vs not-so--honest dog.

Opened my copy of The Day Leap Soared by @blairbraverman.bsky.social & illustrated by @oliviawhen.com and it's even more gorgeous in person.

@honestdogbooks.bsky.social once again made the package feel super special.

The story, about Leap finding what makes her unique? 11/10

The cover of the children's book called The Day Leap Soared. Highly recommended for all #UglyDogs especially - it's a gorgeous image of Leap leaping in the forefront, sky and snow behind, Blair (the author) to the bottom left with a sled, and Grœnch and friends (6 sled dogs if all different sizes and colors) to the bottom right! Honest Dog Books made the packages so adorable I actually left them wrapped for days! They included a limited edition card signed by Bler and Leap, a bookmark, and a glow in the dark sticker of a dog! Just gorgeous packaging, as always, from Honest Dog Books. The book of wrapped in plain brown paper and folded so the signature card and bookmark could slide into a front pocket. They also included a sticker of their logo, which is white with a dog silhouette drawn in black ink with a loop of red on its chest.

6 years ago, I walked into What Goes Round to find a book of poetry, and walked having bought the bookstore. Changed the name, added new books, multiple subscriptions, online store, + 2 buildings, theater & bar. Here’s how we’re celebrating.
