Not that I want you to spend money at A-zon, but EPIC AND LOVELY on Kindle is 50% off right now. If you partake of the Kindle, please consider reading my little bookie-book.

A guy jerked off next to me on a Southwest flight from OAK to SAN when I was 17. I told the FA, who wouldn't let me move because the flight was full. I told my mom when I got home, and she did nothing. Maybe that was another Gen X neglect moment. Or maybe this shit happens a lot.

Today the bookstore was haunted by dour-looking teens holding Penguin Classics in their hands. At 4pm, the panicked mom calls began: "My child needs ______ for school by tomorrow." I guess PPS high schools are reading Portrait of the Artist right now.

You could always attend a women's college and find yourself at age 50 talking to fellow alums online about discontinued china patterns, as I just did. But you don't want that. Okay.

"People say college is what you make it," one student told Angelina. "But college is what people see when they look at you." (highlighted in yellow)

It's fall and that means my brain tells me I should walk downtown to Thorne's Marketplace and get a Mad River cream soda at Cornucopia. I'm 3000 miles away but the heart wants what it wants. And there hasn't been Mad River soda in 20+ years.

The algo is pushing old people smell soap and fiber gummies on me today. Last week it was that vibrator that's shaped like a lemon. I don't have old people smell and I don't need fiber gummies and I don't want a lemon on my private parts.

I'm Mo Daviau, an author and bookseller in Portland, Ore. At the beginning of Mary's Song by The Aislers Set (on the album Terrible Things Happen), you can hear someone's jangly bracelet making a noise. I got to see them play last month for the first time since '03 and <3 I love them.

As a Smith alum, I feel like I should say something about Gloria, but I have nothing original to say. I do want to say that the wink-wink in the new Elizabeth Strout novel, wherein her character reads Olive Kitteridge, is chef's kiss. Love her. That is all.

Let me just say: Al Green is the FINEST, most PERFECT bookstore music. He checks all the boxes: smooth lyrics, upbeat, recognizable, appeals to all generations, puts folks in a good mood.

Mo Daviau @modaviau.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

LOL I put on an Al Green album at the store a few times a week and call it good. And if you want to hear an author talk about their books, we've got three on staff. You can talk to us in person.

I don't know who needs to hear this in 2026, (okay, I do) but if a bookseller provides you with MANY RECOMMENDATIONS and you say to that bookseller, "I'll just order it on Amazon," you are STEALING LABOR in addition to being rude. You should have told me beforehand so I could blow you off.

It is a critical failure of the left that the explosive diarrhea parasite outbreak has not already been branded "The RFK Runs" or "The MAHA Squirts" or "The Trump Trots" or something along those lines. "Oh, man, I can't go because I got a bad case of J.D. Pants."

July 4, 1976 was a great day for me. My mom took me to Sears Portrait Studio that week for photos on a dirty-looking piece of carpet in front of an image of fireworks and the flag. I'm lucky to have been born at a time when moms put their babies on dirty carpet for photos.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business
