Finally getting to start my Christmas present to myself: What in Me is Dark. #booksky 💙📚

Republic of Letters @republicofletters.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

It was my first cosy fantasy read and I didn't expect to love it as much as I did.

Hello! We're a bookstore over in Wisconsin and we love small presses.

Republic of Letters @republicofletters.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Have you checked out the small presses Asterism distributes? I like a bunch of them- Whiskey Tit, Kernpunkt, Burrow Press, etc.

Republic of Letters @republicofletters.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Reading The MANIAC right now. Labatut's When We Ceased to Understand the World was one of the most memorable and horrifying books I've ever read. #booksky 💙📚

Some advice. If you're worried your tbr pile looks too big, just move it further away, so it looks smaller You can then buy more books. #books #Booksky

Looking to find Midwestern writers (especially Wisconsin). Do me a huge favor and comment any that you know. Including yourself! #booksky

The Priory of the Orange Tree. The Wolf and the Woodsman. The Bear and the Nightingale.

But with social media having killed off the traditional media I could otherwise have worked with, it leaves our bookstore with no good way of reaching our audience. No where near enough local users here (yet).

It seems like the owners of other social media platforms are intent on making their sites worse. Honestly, that may be the best. Most of us would be better off without them.

The weather outside was frightful. But we had a wonderful popup bakery in the store today.

Finally the kind of content I came here for!

Today is one of our town's biggest tourism days--the streets will be lined with candles, there will be chestnuts roasting on an open fire, horse drawn carriage rides etc.

I'm a picky gamer these days, but I love the right game.

We had a great reading and discussion last night with Holly Wilson, author of KITTENTITS. KITTENTITS is an imaginative, wild, sweet, and filthy fever dream of a book. It's really pointless to try to describe it, but it is one of the most memorable books I've read in a long time.

The highlight of our week was having cool writer Abra Berens visit and talk with Meadowlark Organics about local food systems, our loss of connecting to farming, and delicious, delicious food.

Republic of Letters @republicofletters.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

But talking back to your book out loud in public is normal, right?

Republic of Letters @republicofletters.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

We'd love to be added to your starter pack!

3) because we are rural, we curate books on nature and agriculture, and 4) we love imaginative fiction, so if you come in the store we will try to sell you an Ursula K Le Guin book.
