Excited to host the delightful Victoria Schade at the bookshop today for her brand new book PICK ME!!!

As a NAIBA member store for 13 years (and now represented on the board) we are beyond sad to say goodbye to Eileen! We haven gotten to know Liz, and she will be an incredible addition. www.shelf-awareness.com/theshelf/202...

We met Dan in 2010 and were lucky to know him. Our hearts hurt today. Absolutely wonderful human. www.shelf-awareness.com/theshelf/202...

The "Somebody Should Do Something" book tour heads to Pennsylvania! Join co-author Alex @madva.bsky.social at The End Bookstore on Tuesday, October 7th when he will be in conversation with Aimee Saunders, from @redwineblueusa.bsky.social: theendbooks.co/event/2025-1... @playbooks.bsky.social

Did you hear? Order now to grab this exclusive pin from THE END!

We have TWO BIG announcements about our bookshop to share shortly. With everything everything online, viral, pop-up & specialized, how can an independent, brick and mortar, general interest bookstore survive? We have ideas. Do you? Stay tuned! @americanbookseller.bsky.social @shelf-awareness.com

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

I'm really hoping rumors of Stephen Colbert running are true because Lindsey is bad enough but this man is more evil! #RunStephenRun #Pinks apnews.com/article/dans...

Could not love him more. ♥️ @goodplacejames.bsky.social

This is a video that Noma Dumezweni (Dr Mensah) took during the filming of Murderbot, so I thought it would be a fun treat for Murderbot Day. Thanks to @mianomania.bsky.social for sharing!

Dissent is patriotic. We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

Bullshit. His age, growing up in NY, he knew. President Donald Trump says he didn’t know the term “shylock” is considered antisemitic when he used it in a speech to describe unscrupulous moneylenders. apnews.com/article/trum...

What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” - Mahogany Books reminds us to take a moment and listen to Frederick Douglas‘s speech - @npr.org shared a reading by his descendants 5 years ago

Our summer reading picks.

Join us - All are welcome #allentown

READ THE BOOK FIRST!!! PROMISE!!!! #WeWereLiars @elockhartbooks.bsky.social

Exciting news - confirmed a visit from the incredible @marthawells.com

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

We will just keep buying all the books. We will keep just selling all the books. We will just keep buying the books.

Proud of our fellow citizens.

Nothing says law and order like publicly fantasizing about 18th-century mob violence.

@esglaude.bsky.social today on @msnbc.com “ I have no words”

It’s peaceful. Marines should not be deployed!

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

You can take a name off of a naval ship, it won’t change what Harvey Milk showed LGBTQ people that they should be proud of who they are and who they love. We’re thrilled to be showcasing his story at a number of story times this month- particularly Pride: the Story of Harvey Milk. #harveymilk

Are you going to pick up a new book this week? May we suggest… #booksky #prideallyearlong

Yea it is.

Bernie on books.

Love for Sinners - it’s tangible

What the actual ???????

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

One more time for the people in the back.

Trump just threatened to cut the CHIPS Act… after his administration celebrated a huge manufacturing investment it made possible YESTERDAY. Yet another falsehood & attempt to give American power to authoritarian nations like China.

Fact checkers. Go!

Bye WaPo.
