Lovely morning in West Marin at Commonweal hearing @dghaskell.bsky.social speaking about not just the biology of flowers but how we understand ourselves through flowers. And got to catch a few minutes chat with @ssparks.bsky.social while I distracted him from doing his business!

We've learned over the years that gathering to listen writers talk about their books, their passions, and the things we care about can inspire and renew hope in the face of ongoing crises. We hope you'll join us this winter and spring at some of our events: ptreyesbooks.com/upcoming-eve...

Storing up things to look forward to: Thanks to the always fabulous @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social I now have tickets to book events with Rebecca Solnit; Jackie Morris & Tamsin Abbott (online): & Terry Tempest Williams. Will be attending the last with one of my favourite Dominican Sisters.

Our hearts go out to Northtown Books in Arcata. This is a huge loss. If anybody knows them personally, let them know we’re here to chat if they like. www.madriverunion.com/articles/mas...

Our booksellers read a lot this year. Here are some of their favorites: ptreyesbooks.com/books-we-lov...

"West Marin Community Services in downtown Point Reyes Station has A LOT of it at the food bank right now - come down and grab some before 5pm today (Wednesday 11/26.) They will be closed tomorrow, Thursday."

We're sure @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social would approve.

Inspired by fellow booksellers, we at @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social will be donating Sunday profits in November to the SF-Marin Food Bank. You can donate directly to the food bank here: www.sfmfoodbank.org

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

What We Can Do About ICE

ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

Malcolm Margolin will be greatly missed.

John McMurtrie@johnmcmurtrie.bsky.social · last yr.

So many of us are indebted to Malcolm Margolin, who did much to celebrate the culture and history of California. I’ll miss his passion, his wisdom and his wit — and his endearing Boston accent. May his memory be a blessing. www.berkeleyside.org/2025/08/20/m...

Loved talking to friend and author Samantha Kimmey about her debut novel, "The Extremities!" –the first draft of which I read nearly ten years ago. Her quiet persistence is an inspiration. Special thanks to @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social and @kwmrradio.bsky.social www.jordanbowen.com/home/2025/5/...
