ICYMI: When a child sees another child reading, especially someone they admire — a friend, an older sibling, or another pupil — they see reading as a fun choice, says Alison Palmer 👇 #BookSky

I'll be swinging by Capricos Books this weekend as part of my whirlwind Senseless tour: caprichosbooks.com/event/2025-0...

@caprichosbooks.bsky.social I can't spell!

If you don't have a local indie, check out the map of participating bookstores & make an online or phone order with one of them. Or buy from @bookshop.org (they have e-books now!) or @libro.fm. www.indiebound.org/independent-...

Remember that they have never directly competed with #IndependentBookstoreDay before. They're doing this because they're scared. Who's scared them? YOU have, by beginning to move your purchasing away from their monopoly. Keep it up! Visit your local indie on 4/26.

This is a weird request, but anyone in Baltimore area want to help me collect tap water samples this summer? I can give you some vials, you go to a couple restaurants/grocery stores/public water fountains and we get some critical science done for forensic work

May 9th, 4:00–5:30 PM @Caprichos Books! Come hang out with some awesome middle-grade authors! 🌟 Meg Eden Kuyatt 📚 Ali Terese ✏️ Sydney Dunlap 📝 Heather Murphy Capps They’ll be talking about their books, sharing what it’s like to be a writer, and answering your questions.

Hey y'all! Whatcha reading?

Anyone else binging? @libro.fm

Your worth as a human being is not dependent on your productivity. Read that again and believe it 💗

Dear Sara, I just finished Go Luck Yourself on Valentine's Day and #1 if you ever feature Valentines please have another library/books involved cause 🥵 and #2 that ending gift was the most romantic thing I've ever read in my entire life. ♥️ Thank you! caprichosbooks.com/book/9781250... #HoliNerds

Did someone say BOOK GIVING DAY?!?

Holy, Moley, the Kitty Mardi-Paws half time!? Are you kitten me?! DJ Scratch spinning tracks..

These #SuperbOwls spent a few days in my front yard four years ago. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. #birds #photography 📸

One of the first years that I'm not watching the Super Bowl because I really didn't need to be sold anything and most of those companies really don't care about me. But the only commercial I've seen so far during the Puppy Bowl: Superman trailer features the only acceptable Krypto! Yes please.

My favorite part about the Puppy Bowl is this camera at the bottom of the water bowl so we can see who's drinking and who's playing in the water. These puppies are so stinking cute.

Friends- where are you learning about local events now that we are leaving Meta?

How to support an indie bookstore-- In-shop books, pickup, signed copies, local authors, preorders and events calendar: www.caprichosbooks.com Audiobooks: libro.fm/referral?rf_... Ebooks: bookshop.org/shop/caprich... #BookSky #indieBooks #indieBookshop #indieBookstore #eBooks

Training for the National Civic Bee essay competition judging this morning! Excited to learn more about this and participate this year.

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

I heard this lovely lady made someone very mad when discussing mercy and compassion yesterday so I'm just going to leave her book right here... caprichosbooks.com/book/9780593...

Look, the next few years are going to be hard. It’s going to be exhausting trying to keep up with all of the noise and distractions. So make sure to enjoy things. You cannot be all fight. You need joy as well. And do not let people make you feel guilty for finding moments of joy. That is bad.

Feels like 1° .... Yeah I think I'm going to stay in and read.

I have 9 deluxe versions left if you want to order for shipping or pick up in Ocean Pines MD. #booksky #OnyxStorm

Southern Independent Booksellers Association shared this on insta and I needed to share it with y'all. #MLKDay #BookSky

Whew, on this beautiful MLK Jr. day I have had so many wonderful, productive conversations with people who are working with change- themselves, their communities and the world around them. Let's be kind and patient with one another this week. ❤️

I shared this as a reply but it's come up a lot in conversation today so I want to share it here too. commongood.cc/reader/a-few... You can be part of the Ripple Effect.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

What are you reading currently? #booksky

Good morning party people! Who's new here trying to make the best of it?

"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

I'm working in Starbucks today because there aren't too many other options in the area. It's January 15 and we've got a Christmas Mix tape playing....

Karen Wynn Fonstad was a novice cartographer who landed a dream assignment: to create an atlas of the setting of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”

The first read through a few years ago took me years ... I did audio this time and that didn't change the feeling I was trudging through but I liked it enough to keep going and start the second book today.
