As this wild weekend of holiday shopping approaches, don't forget to visit your local bookseller and purchase an incredible amount of books. BE WARNED. Being mean to an indie bookseller this weekend results in an ancient curse that renders you unable to write a synopsis.

Our Stone's Throw story this month is from Preston Lang. A story about survivor's guilt and regret and how we're all connected and the terrible ways we attempt to forgive ourselves. It's called "Flying Ham", and you can read it, for free, right here: www.rockandahardplacemag.com/stones-throw...

What Moms 4 Liberty calls “woke” librarianship just *is* librarianship, because inclusive librarianship just *is* librarianship. It follows directly from Ranganathan’s Laws: Every Book Its Reader, and Every Reader Their Book. 📚

It’s been way too long since we’ve had a @angelluiscolon.bsky.social book out in the world, so I’m pumped for a fresh hit of his unforgettable writing style. I also got a fear of bugs, so… I can only assume this is gonna be memorable as hell. Get it!

Reminder: Love a writer’s work? Tell them. Seriously. A review or an email or something on social media. Whatever works for you. Sure, some might be assholes, but most writers I know are insecure a lot of the time and hearing from readers brightens up their day.
