Had a great weekend doing an author event at @cavershambooks.bsky.social on Thriving With #Neurodivergence. I did an entire presentation on this subject and answered questions on it, too. Decent turnout of people who have either known me for years, are #Neurodivergent themselves, or all the above.

Author and speaker Rosemary Richings stands in front of an orange wall at Caversham Booksellers during a presentation titled “Thriving With Dyspraxia.” She wears a green cardigan and a long black skirt with a white butterfly pattern. A laptop and small display items sit on a table beside her, and a large screen shows the event title. The scene captures Rosemary presenting at an in‑store event promoting her books.

Author Rosemary Richings stands inside Caversham Booksellers during the “Thriving With Dyspraxia” event, introducing herself to the audience. She wears a green knitted sweater and a black dress with white butterfly patterns while holding her two books—Stumbling Through Space and Time: Living Life With Dyspraxia* and Studying With Dyspraxia. Behind her, a presentation slide is partially visible, and bookshelves and attendees fill the background.*

Damp weather in Toronto for #CIBD Indie Bookstore Day. But what better way to spend a rainy spring Saturday than browsing bookstores? And lower-than-expected turnout will boost your odds of winning our gift card raffle, or scoring a pouch from @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

A red Canadian Independent Bookstore Day balloon on Caversham Booksellers' New Releases front table. In the background, rainy weather is visible through the glass front door

A zippered canvas pouch with the Penguin Books penguin on it, and the text "Shop local and make notes." Inside the pouch are some stickers, a pen, and some notepads you can use to make notes while reading. It's free swag from our pals at Penguin Random House Canada. Did you know the penguin is named Allen?

Raffle tickets and a glass vase to put them in. The vase is empty! There's literally zero competition to win yet!
