I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

The local library had a pin-making station at the book festival and I made a Dolly pin and I might go back tomorrow and make 20 more. #BookFestivalsArePrettyGreat #LibrariesArePrettyGreat #BooksArePrettyGreat #DollyPinsArePrettyGreat
