Indie Bookstore Day yesterday was an amazing, record-breaking day, and were SO THANKFUL for such a kind and thoughtful community of readers. Our bookstore dog Archie raised around $150 with his little bag of book recommendations ❤️

Somebody came by and asked if we had the wizard boy books and I said, "no, we don't have any at the moment," but what I really wanted to say was, "Hell no! We don't give money to TERFS in this house."

Here working at the shop while we're closed (Monday is the only day we're closed) and have to say it's pretty validating hearing people try the door and say "aw, man!" when they see we're closed. Sorry! We love you! We just need a day off.

One of the most fun things about the holidays is when people find a book that's been sitting lonely on the shelf for months and it's the perfect gift for someone. We love to see a book find its perfect person.

It seems like this should be common knowledge, but don't expect a bookstore to have a book in stock at Xmas time just because you saw it MONTHS ago in the shop. Like, inventory is fluid. Things sells. Sometimes we don't reorder them. 🤷‍♀️

We are still on Facebook because some of our customers still are, but the things it shows me on the feed when I am signed in are wildly transphobic and misogynistic or AI engagement baiting. And we're a progressive bookshop. Can't imagine what it's showing to other people as the default 😬🤢

People tend to romanticize dusty bookshops filled almost entirely with old books, and yes, it's still a room full of books, but every time I go to one like that I am thinking about who is missing in all those pages. All the women and BIPOC folks and queer people. I want to hear those voices.

This is probably my favorite picture book of the year. I read it, and was immediately obsessed! It probably would have been my favorite if it had existed when I was a kid. Buy it for all the rambunctious littles in your life.

If you have trouble remembering to put alt text you can go to the accessibility settings and set it to MAKE YOU include alt text. so helpful!

A screenshot of the accessibility settings page, which shows a toggle where you can "require alt text before posting" and also "display larger alt text badges."

Dropping info about my debut, BIRDING WITH BENEFITS, which came out this summer! It's full of birding and hikes through the desert, plus lots of self-discovery, humor, and sexy times! Available where books are sold and in libraries around the world! bookshop.org/p/books/bird...

A trope board about my debut novel. In the center is the illustrated cover of BIRDING WITH BENEFITS: southwest colors with a caucasian woman looking through binoculars. In one circle of binoculars is a good looking bearded man; a yellow warbler in the other. Cactus are in the background. My name, Sarah T. Dubb, is along the bottom.

Around the cover are memes/descriptions of the book: A Man Who Pays Attention; Fake Dating; Spicy (Really!); Southwest Vibes; Plucky Single Man; Characters in mid-Life; Opposites Attract; Birding (Really!).

The background of the entire image shows an orange sky, dark orange mountains, and a blooming cactus.
