Book Spotlight: The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger #bookspotlight #thelighteaters #naturebooks #nonfictionbooks

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!): 🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.” 📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.” 🎥 “The movie was better.” 🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.” ❌ “It's not book censorship.”

You might know Jeffrey from Reno Punk Rock Flea Market. He's got a new one out and is signing copies at Thistle & Nightshade! Come snag your copy May 31st! #localauthor #signingevent #authorevent #fictionbooks #punkbooks #musicbooks #renonv

I have reposted this Change of Plans three times, so I apologize for any confusion! I didn't realize scheduling an appointment would be so chaotic. We are going to be closed this Friday and apologize for any inconvenience!

Learn to say no in life. If someone says, "Do you want a book?" Say, "No. I want the whole set."

It's almost June, and we're fundraising on our Bonfire for Pride. We're tracking any purchases made on our Read With Pride shirts through June 30, 2025 and half of any profits we're donating to Our Center Reno! This includes all the pride designs on our storefront. www.bonfire.com/read-with-pr...

A customer traveling through Reno recently rated our Sci-Fi section 6/10 (prompted, we did ask and appreciate his opinion!) So for all you #scifireader people out there, what's the sci-fi author or series or book that raises a bookstore's ranking in your mind when you see it on the shelf?

We've got another #authorsigning coming up! Jeffrey Matucha will be joining us May 31st from 2pm-4pm to sign copies of Triste! Come say hey and snag yours! #localauthor #indiebookstore
