Last Saturday I spent the whole day @rubberrosebooks.bsky.social. In this month's Widely Read, I lay out my embarrassments, shame, victories, and observations of spending a whole day at a bookstore while it celebrates its anniversary. I hope you enjoy! widely-read.ghost.io/my-kid-says-...

I have been called out

How many books did you read in 2024? Did you reach your goal? I read 63/60 books last year. Five books a month seems to be a good pace for me, so I'm setting a goal of 60 for 2025!

good news: tomorrow is another opportunity for someone to flirt with you at ur local bookstore.

Big thank you to Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner for spotlighting queer bookstores' value and visibility to communities across the country for T: The New York Times Style Magazine.
