Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

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

It's Prime Day... so please consider buying your books direct from (ideally indie) bookstores and publishers today, instead of from the Big River that's gouging us all into penury

We'd love you to grab one of our books, from our estore or as a signed paperback

But really: any indie is good :)

Last minute request! Do I know anyone interested in talking about ParaNorman on @finalgirlsfeast.bsky.social next Wednesday? We record via Zoom and plan to record at 8pm EST! Let me know!

BREAKING NEWS: they cracked the code and deciphered what this mummy had to say. Unsurprising (to us) it said: “READ MODERN MUMMIES!”

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

A black and white illustration of an interior view of a stone castle. The perspective of the viewer is peaking around the corner of a crumbling passage into a gargantuan throne room, where light spills from a crumbled vaulted ceiling onto a massive monolithic throne. There is a tattered banner hanging on the wall, rubble all around, and a small window behind the throne where you can barely see clouds in the distance through the vines that have crept into the throne room on the walls.

A black and white illustration of a birch forest where a crossroads is littered with abandoned and broken down carriages, carts, and wagons. Some of the carriages have clawing hands and fingers reaching out through the windows and bars. some of the carts in the foreground have decaying bodies on them. a lone living figure loots one of the carts in the middle of the composition.

a black and white ink illustration on dura-lar of a 3 story building with neo-colonial and victorian architectural details. the first floor is an arcana shop called Hierophany & Hedge, and the moulding above the windows also says “reagents, wands, talismans, bespoke arcana”

a black and white illustration of a swamp landscape gnarled trees and skulls floating in the water. there is a banner at the top that says "swamp"
