I appreciate the humor and pace of "The Alphabet Sleuths." We've got a dead body in the first chapter, and the crazy antics soon follow.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed "Thursday Murder Club" and/or "The Golden Girls."

You want books, but you don't want to spend your money at a giant online store.

SHOP LOCAL! Old Haunts Bookshop is a LOCAL Sacramento-area store stocked with LOCAL and international authors.

(I created the below graphic. Do not hold my lack of design skills against Old Haunts.)

🎉The Road Back to Me: Six Sacred Tools for Queer Healing Through Shadow, Breath, and Truth by Peter Cervantes.
This isn't a book about fixing yourself. It's about reclaiming you. It's about the brutal, beautiful work of becoming whole.
