You may not be able to tell from my bio abilities, but I’m a writer! I’m also a bookseller! Let me tell you what books to read!

I’ve been carrying this one around with me for a long, long time and just finally managed to finish it. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a difficult read, not just because of intense, graphic violence but because of the setting in a culture I know nothing about and language I’m not familiar with.

Thought book two in this series was coming out this fall, but it’s actually book three! So, naturally, I had to reread The Golem and the Jinni AND order a copy of The Hidden Palace before I can read The Gates of Midnight in September.

Did you know today is the ExtraGive?!? It’s a great time to support your favorite organizations and the nonprofits that keep this world afloat. One of those organizations is Gracie’s House. I started working here earlier this spring, and it’s been an incredible opportunity.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

You know you’ve been at a bookseller conference when you develop a shoulder bruise perfectly matching the strap of a tote bag full of books 📚💙
