I might have cried. This is SO beautiful @pagesaplenty.bsky.social. Mail that feels like hope. #booksky 📚💙

My sister @mad4booksjane.bsky.social is taking an extended sabbatical from her store for health reasons. In the meantime, she needs help with bills both for herself and the shop. If you can spare anything, it would mean the world to us. Even just resharing would be a great help. gofund.me/d4beda89

A difficult life update that affects the shop. More updates to follow. Thank you for your continued support! www.instagram.com/reel/DE7t73_...

When people ask why preodering from Indie shops matters... one, you get a chance at a signed copy (occasionally) and two, your favorite Indie Bookstore may already be sold out 😲😍?!? Of course, there are other reasons too...but Happy Release Day Grady Hendrix! #newbooks

If you, a mother, ask for recommendations for your 20 something son for non-European Scifi/Fantasy books... don't tell me he's macho & probably wouldn't read a female author. This is an educational moment for your son (sounds like you too).🤦‍♀️ Buy the book, smile proudly that you are supporting women.

New Books usually come out on Tuesdays, and yet I opened a box and had to lift some weights before I could take Brandon Sanderson's new book out of the box 😅. Clocking in at 1,344 pages, this is a chunky boy. Happy Release Day for Wind and Truth! #EpicFantasy #blueskybooks

Coming off the holiday weekend, a bunch of us can probably use some queer escapism

I have needed to be reminded recently to look around me & remember things I am grateful for. And not because it's Thanksgiving, but of course today too... my shop gives me purpose, community, & somewhere I can feel safe/seen. There are tough days ahead, but this shop is my touch of magic & hope. 💗

If you have some extra time and want to hear me talk, this is a nice intro TikTok I did a while back. Hello to all the new followers on here 🤗! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8L3X1bL/ #intro #booksellerofbluesky #bookseller

Does anyone else struggle with DNFing their monthly Book Club picks? I lead my shop's club and have shown up having not finished reading, but I eventually do. I pick the original books we vote on, but this one? Sheesh, I'm on the struggle bus to finish and want to finish by Tuesday!

A*****n doesn’t grab coffee at your local café, sponsor your kid’s team, or donate prizes to the school raffle. Shopping local—whether in your town or the next—keeps money in your community, strengthens local businesses, and supports neighbours. Shop, eat, spend & enjoy local 💚

I've been on Bluesky for eight days, and I'm three followers away from 700. I haven't been 100% present here (life plot twists this week), but to say I'm amazed is putting it mildly. My only hope is more activity (from me) and more interaction (from you) so we can be amongst the books together 😍!

Small touches of Christmas have already started arriving in the shop 🥰. Thanks go to Steph for creating this brilliant book tree in the kids area, you're bound to feel warmer just seeing it ❤️💚! We are 8 days away from #SmallBizSat, but really all I want to know... what are your #FridayReads📚?

And finally, this week’s number one is Sacha Coward’s Queer as Folklore! We loved having Sacha visit us last week and learning all about the history of queer people in mythology! 🦄 #PillarofPopularity

I managed to track down a spare key, and I was only 15 minutes late opening the shop. Chaos averted this time 😉!

Well, one way to start your Thursday is to discover you locked your shop keeps.... in the shop 🤦‍♀️. Time to #WindowShop 😂.

BOOK FLOOD ANNOUNCEMENT!?! You now have the option to #BookFlood at home if you can't make it to the magical evening at the shop 😍🤩! More details & sign up here: www.pagesaplenty.com/book-flood2024 Don't forget the deadline to sign up is November 30th! #Jólabókaflóðið

Sounds like perfect reading AND "stop at the bookstore" weather to me 😉! What are you reading this rainy hump day? #currentlyreading

If you want to hear me talk about more #NewBooks out today... head over to TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8LVFohD/ 😍 and if you would rather skip hearing me talk and head straight to checkout... ok, ok or the playlist 🤣 that's available here: shorturl.at/yLgvu

Hari Conner's graphic novel I Shall Never Fall in Love is out today! I have been so excited about this release. It will be featured in my #NewBooksTuesdays post today 😍 #graphicnovels www.pagesaplenty.com/shop/p/ishal...

Do you any other bookshops host a Jólabókaflód (Book Flood) event? This year will be my shop's third year and I'm considering making an "at home" option available too. I would love to hear others' take on the Icelandic tradition 😍!

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. (2/20) #BookSky 💙📚 #Books #BookChallenge #20daybookchallenge

I could get used to my new title, for this season, of Fairy Book-mother. Check out the highlight reel and my silly accent for the shop's Pumpkins & Petals event last night. It was a magical success! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8LQQCm5/ #booksaremagical #indiebookstore

There are now more than 80 #indiebookstores in the starter pack. Can we get it to 100 by Monday? Don't forget to use the list when buying books for the holidays! Support small businesses rather than billionaires whenever you can. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

No more "little" stirs of the pot in my shop. Let's cause some havoc... I would love to refresh some minds in my town. Drop your suggestions for me, and I'll see if I can get them in stock! This one came from @apocalypsecowboy.bsky.social #bookactivism #ragereads

Sharing from a friend on FB. The evil river, or as I like to say 😆 Lex Luther, doesn't need any more of your support! Indie Shops do! bookshop.org/shop/pages-a...

Mentone is the "Egg Basket of the Midwest" and we have a giant egg in our town square. I tend to lean in to the egg theme during community events... can you tell? 😅 facebook.com/events/s/sma... ##SmallBizSat #shopsmall

Found more of my book family 🥰🤗! I was going to ask to be added and then realized I was already included 😅. I only joined last night and already feels like a huge sigh of relief to be "here". #indiebookstore

In case you are wondering what kind of shenanigans this bookseller gets into... I also double as a Fairy Book-mother as tonight's TikTok can attest 🤣 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8LmRFoV/

First post & Intro... Celebrated 15 years of bookselling in October 😍. This little ole shop & the written word are my passions. It's my mission to create a safe space for all...surrounded by books. All genres, my personal favs are Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Biographies, & Narrative Non-Fiction.
