Recommend that your library buy the books you want to read! Often they will take suggestions both for physical AND ebooks (on overdrive? libby? whatever it is now)

there's also HOOPLA, which gives writers a pay-per-borrow amount!
just use the fucking library.

Reminder that books make awesome gifts for all holiday events, and they taste sweeter when they’re from indie bookstores. Don’t know what to get? Indie bookstores have gift cards!

haaaaa get them
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Moment of appreciation for my excellent human artist @almosthomefree.bsky.social who did this absolute killer for CLUB CONTANGO and it's such a shame you don't get all of it on the cover. Maybe we should issue an art poster for the book's first year? ✨🎲📉🔥
