NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. Posting on social media for business has just seemed...unimportant in this moment. It isn’t normal to witness a genocide, along with ICE murders and everything else the state is doing, and then have to answer emails and run a business. But, here we are.

Let's get messy 🤪 What is that book that everyone loves and you just... don't? Let's have it out in the comments 👇

🚨 WE ARE LIVE, BOOK BESTIES! ㅤ The Community Hub is officially OPEN! ㅤ It features our content, houses our new membership tiers, acts as a book list aggregator, and hosts our community Discord server. Basically, it's a one-stop shop for all things Tubby & Coo's, and you can join completely for FREE!

Ever walked into a bookstore and felt like the queer section was basically one shelf and a dream? Yeah. Same. Queer folks deserve better than breadcrumbs. We need a place where we're not a footnote — we're the main character. Want first dibs? Visit bit.ly/48awe3D

ALL OF THIS PLEASE STOP GIVING HER MONEY

If you're looking for summer book recs, you can get them from an actual person if you email or message us! Happy to curate real books instead of whatever bizarre fake stuff this is. Email [email protected] for recs or ask us to curate a summer reading box for you!

Show us what you got at an indie bookstore today! 📚

Indie Bookstore Day is tomorrow! Come support an indie bookstore that: is queer owned, focuses on diverse reads, speaks out against genocide, and is staffed by actual, real people who love books and are not billionaires!

This is a highly important case. If this goes in favor of the parents (and it likely will), it will lead to quiet censorship because it's way too onorous for schools to implement an opt out plan. This will lead to queer books disappearing from classrooms.

Sign up for our newsletter by 3/31 and get a FREE digital reading journal! Also really great book recs and lists 😁 tubbyandcoos.com/subscribe

We read trans books all year 🏳️‍⚧️ It's time for the Trans Rights Readathon, and we're so excited to see a lot of participation! Now more than ever, we trans and nonbinary folks are fighting for our right to exist, & it's important that you bring your energy IRL to help us & defend your trans siblings.

Super excited to meet Sarah Gailey! They're the author of Upright Women Wanted, which is one of the two books that inspired our current business model. Gailey was SO supportive of the bookstore, and it was so wonderful to meet them!

I'd be a terrible fantasy hero because unless I get a text, I wouldn't even know I was the chosen one, and even then, I'd probably ignore it. Also, as soon as they said "we ride at dawn" I'd be like cool, I'm out.

Whether they like it or not, it's still Black History Month. Google and billionaires be damned. Here are some historical photos from civil rights fighters in south Louisiana ✊️

We have always loved @chriswarcraft.bsky.social and somehow now love him even more. FYI to Chris: this story is making the rounds around indie booksellers, and we all appreciate you so much 🙌 Keep fighting the good fight! www.startribune.com/chris-kluwe-...

Y'all the wind has been SO strong, it's wild, I was just walking and suddenly I appeared at the bookstore, then the wind blew like 15 books into my hands, like wut?!

Gay is in, gay is hot 🏳️‍🌈🔥 Looking for some gay (in the umbrella sense) ebooks? We've got you 🙌 Ebooks now available via our Bookshop site: bookshop.org/shop/tubbyandcoos 🔊 From What We Do in the Shadows (Laszlo is the best)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun romp! The premise drew me in, and the well drawn secondary characters kept me around. Tons of action, some romance, some fun, badass queer characters, and plot driven, which are my favorite kinds of books. (Con.)

I'm Candice, owner of Tubby & Coo's. I'm nonbinary, witchy, have invisible disabilities, and neurodivergent. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I also love plot-driven sci-fi, weird horror, and a good romance subplot. Cozy fantasy will get me to read it every time.

Hey! We are a nonbinary-owned bookstore, and we create pocket shops featuring underrepresented voices inside inclusive spaces. Our locations are currently all in New Orleans, but we hope to have shops everywhere one day! Support a local, queer-owned shop: msha.ke/tubbyandcoos
