My local is Joseph-Beth Booksellers and one of my fave booksellers (hi, @panediting.bsky.social!) works at @mainbooksin.bsky.social and they’re fantastic! Highly recommend both stores.

The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud".

Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

Hey! We love libro! I think when we combined forces with sister shop @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social it combined both our libro accounts, so if you choose Second Flight as your partner store you're supporting us!

Whoever decided to release Onyx Storm the day after a holiday when most (if not all) delivery services are closed is, um, not the sharpest. Especially after the disaster release of the last book. 👀

It's a great day to support your indie bookshop and rely on your friendly neighborhood bookseller to recommend some awesome gifts (because those special orders probably aren't gonna make it!).

Am I going to stop by @mainbooksin.bsky.social and @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social to spend money I shouldn't? Yep.

We look pretty stinkin' cute in the snow.

Just a heads up that if you want to support your local bookshop as part of your holiday gift buying, you need to get any special orders in like, NOW, if you want to ensure things are here by xmas.

Turns out it's cover reveal day!

A GAME IN YELLOW is coming August 12, 2025 from Saga, with a delicious cover by Caroline Teagle Johnson and Math Monohan, that the publisher calls "a masterful blend of horror, erotica, and psychological thriller" 💛

Over on tiktok we had a viral post about Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees with 1.5 million views that has likely brought in A LOT of sales, but want to guess how many we've sold at OUR indie shop? Just FIVE. In 2 months of it being viral, & with so many commenting about how they just bought it. 😭

A lovely local author posted a video of our shop yesterday and someone commented to take the pride flag down. If you don't like the flag, we're perfectly fine if you don't come in! 👍

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Next time you have an idea that seems too crazy, just remember that John Woo once walked into an office and said "I wanna make a movie where Nick Cage plays John Travolta playing Nick Cage, and John Travolta plays Nick Cage playing John Travolta," and someone wrote him a check for 80 million dollars

One of the things I think people don't understand is that you only need 2% of people to be actively committed anti trans people to wildly outnumber, outpace and out power 1% who are trans if the other 97% are ambivalent.

Ambivalence about human rights is a problem.
