2026’s reading so far, with titles from @uncpress.bsky.social, @lsupress.bsky.social, @georgetownup.bsky.social, @ksupress.bsky.social, @derfbackderf.bsky.social, and more. Honestly, every book was incredible and I’d recommend every single one ✨
A few years ago, I reached out to an author on a whim to tell her how much my toddler adored her book. She wrote back and offered to mail him a copy of her next book. In a happy coincidence, my child and that book's protagonist had the same name. There was delight all around. <3
My recommendation for independent bookstore day tomorrow is that you go to an independent bookstore (or several), be very kind to the booksellers, and buy a book on their recommendation that you previously knew nothing about. Your life will be enriched.
