Let me read my dragon smut in peace, Bethany! But seriously, Jessi doesn't have that classic literature dog in them. Every time someone says, "OMG YOU GOTTA READ (INSERT CLASSIC TITLE HERE)?!?!"

periodic reminder that I’ve got two more books out this year. they are both unhinged in different ways. please try to enjoy each book equally.

Still reeling from the finale of White Lotus? We see you. Here are some books we'd recommend to the cast this season. We had to do it to them!!! (Some of these may be a targeted attack - looking at you Saxon! But really, they should think of it as a call-in.) #whitelotus

Just got a video of the Starving Saints preorder pin and 👀👀🐝 if you preorder from @copperdogbooks.bsky.social you’ll get this pin and an art print! and a signed book plate!

Bought from @copperdogbooks.bsky.social today in Salem, MA where I am vending. I know @scalzi.com will approve.

Lord of the Rings implies the existence of Lady of the Rings. Anyway, happy #worldtolkienreadingday

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss! Have you been watching the new season of Yellowjackets? You have to check it out! It's messy, it's gay, it's intense, you'll love it. Need sapphic horror that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, PLAIN BAD HEROINES and WILDERNESS OF GIRLS are perfect!

This week, we're seeing double with our Copper Dog(s) of the Week! Meet Tilly and Macchiato! They are some of our favorite pups and our most frequent furry visitors to the shop. They kinda look like Ewoks and we would die for both of them.

This month (and every month), we celebrate women's rights - and wrongs! Sometimes, female rage is the fire needed to burn down the patriarchy, amirite ladies? Have you read any Good for Her books lately? Share them with us in the comments. #booksky

Our Copper Dog of the Week is Hendricks! Isn't his wrinkly face just absolutely adorable?!? Percy melted at the folds. 10/10 cutest puppy. If you could name this puppy, what would you name it and why? Let us know in the comments.
