Know what we find really terrifying?

⏭ When people interrupt our reading.
⏭ Companies that send their CEO to the moon, all while trying to put small bookshops out of business.
⏭ The realization that we'll never get through our TBRs.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Poor Young Frankie he just can't decide what to read this Halloween. Should he go with a classic or try something new like #PoorCreatures by #MairiKidd or #Mary by #AnneEekhout?
