And yet another book to add to our buy list for the store. 🙂

Happy book birthday to the paperback edition of @kaaauthor.bsky.social's The One and Only Ruby!

"What did PBS shows teach you?" Mister Rogers taught us feelings are mentionable and manageable. Reading Rainbow taught us discovering books is joy. Sesame Street taught us learning through the kindness of community by way of our friends. Bill Nye taught us to observe wonder through science.

This looks amazing! Adding it to our store buying list. ❤️

Happy book birthday to two-time Newbery Medalist @erinentrada.bsky.social's At Last She Stood: How Joey Guerrero Spied, Survived, and Fought for Freedom! mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/10/at-l...

We have so many books in this week, we can’t fit them all in photos! Holler if you see anything you love and we’ll set it aside for you.

This one looks really lovely and quirky. Can’t wait!

We have copies of @littlefeethiking latest—Strolling and Wheeling around Vancouver, WA, as well as a restock on all her other titles!

We got this book in this week. So cute and terrifying! 😂❤️

We received a gorgeous hardcover copy of Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea. It is the 1st Atheneum printing (1991). This was the 2nd printing overall. The very first printing was a small print run—6,800 copies—by Parnassus (1968). Price $45.00. Very good condition. Full details on website.

Congratulations!!!! ❤️

Maisie and Oliver cordially invite you to celebrate Indie Bookstore Day with us.. Thanks to our friends at Third Eye Books, we have copies of The 1619 Project to give away, while supplies last. Oliver, with help from our staff, will be hiding the Libro.fm Golden Ticket. Will you find it?

Yay!!!!

This book had broken threads, so needs to be completely disbound for repairs and resewing. #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts

This necessary, honest, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L book requires an in-person conversation. We need to be in a room together for me to do this story justice. A space in which I will articulate why I love Bobbie’s poetry. Buy it, read it, share it! mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/03/octo...

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

Shared this elsewhere on social media today—we’d love to hear your suggestions! ❤️

Such gorgeous illustrations. 🥰

Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon

Look at this gorgeous cover. Coming from our friends @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Available soon on our preorder page:

It’s an absolutely gorgeous Saturday here in Vancouver on this first day of March. We hope you’ll be able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. And when the rain returns, we have a few books for you! 😁

We care about small businesses because we are a small business. If you're not spending today, show up for your indie bookshop in other ways—such as following them on social media, leaving a positive review online, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Support doesn't always require budget 💕

Please support local small businesses tomorrow. Make sure you are acting against the folks you want to go away and not the ones you want to keep around. ❤️

seems reasonable

We're so excited for next week's @slj.com's #MiddleGradeMagic virtual event! Find out more about what authors will be there and other free books you can get at this FREE event! #EduSky

This! ❤️
