I'm creating a booklist for all of the books that came up in conversation & the chat during the Lost & Found Magic event & it's long & a lot & my eyes are getting tired, but worth it. So many great books for people to discover or re-visit.

Starting in 30 minutes!! Come join us!

A handful of new tickets have been added, but chances are good that they'll go fast. Save your spot now so you don't miss out on what is sure to be a fun, smart, lively conversation among an amazing group of authors.

I'm working on an idea for #BookstoreRomanceDay & need your help. What are some of your favorite Romance Graphic Novels or comics series? I have a few already in mind, but know there are a lot more out there than I'm aware of. By & about LGBTQ+ & BIPOC authors a plus. Thanks in advance.

This is such a RAD line-up of authors holy SHIT

This is such an amazing line-up of authors, this will be incredibly cool!

Only a few days left until @oliviawaite.com chats with @clpolk.blacksky.app, @evaleigh.bsky.social, @kitrocha.com, @jessiemihalik.com, @stephanieburgis.bsky.social, & #LeslyePenelope about Lost & Found Magic on Zoom. Tickets are free, but almost gone! Sat., 11/1 @ 3PM Eastern

It shouldn't be. Romance is a massive genre, and histrom is a big part of that. There are a metric ton of cishet white women writing M/M histrom. That queer men of color are being excluded or discouraged from this category is a problem publishing should be addressing.

Apparently, the link in the original post is broken. Here's hoping this one works. www.eventbrite.com/e/1762356127...

THIS SATURDAY! 90% of the spots are already taken, which means there are only 30 left. Get yours now so you don't miss out on what is sure to be a fantastic conversation with an amazing group of authors.

@support.bsky.team Again. I've tried emailing you and received no response. This is tedious.

There's about a week-and-a-half to go & only a few spots left to see @oliviawaite.com @clpolk.blacksky.app @evaleigh.bsky.social @stephanieburgis.bsky.social @jessiemihalik.com @kitrocha.com & #LeslyePenelope talk magic lost & found. www.eventbrite.com/e/lost-found...

Godsdammit. @support.bsky.team What am I doing wrong? Is there a permanent fix for this issue, or a way for me jiggle it back myself? I am not ⚠️Invalid Handle

Because this quickly climbed to 87% sold, a few more tickets have been added. And by "sold" I actually mean "claimed" because the event is FREE to attend. Donations are welcome, but not at all necessary to reserve your spot.

The 11/1 virtual event with @oliviawaite.com @clpolk.blacksky.app @evaleigh.bsky.social @kitrocha.com @stephanieburgis.bsky.social @jessiemihalik.com & #LeslyePenelope is 80% sold out. Save your spot now so you don't miss it. www.eventbrite.com/e/1762356127...

You know what would be fun? A bookmobile pod. Like a food cart pod, but an assortment of bookmobiles w/ different owners & specialties. One for Cozy Mystery with club chairs & a cat. One for comics & graphic novels with character art on the walls. One for Romance, Cookbooks, Kids books, etc.

Does anyone have recommendations for reliable, but not-too-expensive button makers? For financial & storage reasons, I want to start making Bookstore Romance Day buttons myself. Also, color printers that won't completely break the bank? THANK YOU!

80% now & still 2+ weeks to go. I think this one's going to sell out.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Tickets are 75% gone for the event on 11/1 w/ @oliviawaite.com @clpolk.blacksky.app @evaleigh.bsky.social @stephanieburgis.bsky.social @kitrocha.com @jessiemihalik.com & #LeslyePenelope. Grab your spot now so you don't miss out. www.eventbrite.com/e/lost-found...

And yet again. Big, full body sigh. I would like nothing more than to be able to fix this in some permanent way or at least to know how to fix it myself. Please and thank you.

It's only taken a week for 60% of tickets to be claimed. Don't miss out on @oliviawaite.com @clpolk.blacksky.app @kitrocha.com @jessiemihalik.com @evaleigh.bsky.social @stephanieburgis.bsky.social & #LeslyePenelope talking magic lost & found on 11/1 @ 3 PM EDT. www.eventbrite.com/e/1762356127...

And yet again, @support.bsky.team. If this is tedious for me, I can't imagine how much more so it must be for you.

Books are better if you get them from an indie, that’s just science.

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵 First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.) go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

ICE sightings in Aurora, IL today.

With thanks and apologies to whomever in @support.bsky.team keeps having to deal with this. I'm not sure if you're actively fixing it or if it's simply the act of reaching out to you that makes it magically act normal, but I'm grateful for whatever.
