God, yeah. I’d see if the demon wants a sip. That might mellow them out

He was at my library district the last two days, and my friend that was hosting his program said that was one of the best days of her life! I was super bummed I had to work during his visit!

Have you apologized to the books you have at home that haven’t been read yet? 👀👀

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Found a new favorite shirt to wear to both jobs! 😆 Hey, @shanehawk.com, do you want me to wear this on my Salem/Sleepy Hollow trip??? Get some Indigenous spook on, ya’ll 👀👻🎃

😲👀😲👀 Let me see if I can bring my mom to the horror club

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Ohmygod, Stephen, are you a cyclist??? My mom’s bikes are the siblings I never had. You’d have a fan in her on biking alone!!!

That ending is going to punch you in the gut beautifully, fair warning.

Yyyooo, THAT cover!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Small town, younger, Western Idaho me would have been REAL grateful for that, as the nearest Barnes and Noble drive was a divine hour away. 👀👀👀

I still have space in my schedule for work later this month and into September. If you're looking for a reporter to tackle election stories, a copy editor to go through the manuscript you worked on all summer, or some exciting third option, please reach out! RTs appreciated.

And then pick up That Which Feed Us from @kealakendall.bsky.social, cause it was written on the Fourteenth Commandment to start that book when finishing Mexican Gothic 👀👀👀

We’ve had to stop letting our patrons sleep in the branches, cause we need to know if they’re having a medical emergency or not. 😢

I ONLY TOOK 30 SECONDS OUT OF MY E-READER TO GET ON HERE, MIND YOURSELF!!!!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

And the library paid for those copies! Don’t feel guilty, the author and team were paid! Are the copies going bad? The library can buy more! You never have to pirate a damn thing, just put a Suggest a Purchase in, my dudes!!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I definitely want to get this devoured while I’m writing an Adult Dark Fantasy based on Scarborough Fair—I just need to finish 57 other books first. 😅😅 But ya’ll had my attention when this dropped on Edelweiss a year ago, and I realized I wanted my own copy to highlight in!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I had extreme anxiety about this last year in January. Had to go print out backup codes for my E-mail just in case. I’m too scared to learn what technologies going to morph into—hell, three years down the road.

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

@shanehawk.com @thischerokeerose.bsky.social, I had half a glass of wine this evening, swaying a bit, but reading half of “Miss Cherokee Princess 1996” really 👀👀👀😱 at your brain in different spaces when you’re on the edge of being drunk and you tuck into this story? What an opening for Part II.

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Lord, can’t even edit before posting. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I’d like to try this to show it’s ok not to write every day

010

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I—honestly love this visual or tracking word count. The pandemic shattered my routine and it’s been a slow climb out of the grave back into writing. I’d honestly like to try this just to show it’s ok not to writable every day, just as long as you’re producing SOMETHING throughout the week.

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

A series of photos of me pointing to places where packages could be like inside of a mailbox or on the front porch or in my hands except there is nothing there

From one Ace to another, this book was fucking solid. Welcome to my list of top five reads for this year. I was laughing, gasping, swooning, wrapped up and falling hard for this read.

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

That ending took me out. Was absolutely gutted, but what a ride!!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

@mychal3ts.bsky.social If you were just in our bookstore this afternoon…I walked by you a little star struck. 😅😅 I totally wished I could have asked you if you would come speak at our library’s Staff Day this fall!

010

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I really hate having a shit week, and everyone continuously asks how I’m doing. I don’t know what, if, or how much to unload, and I despise that feeling.

010

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

@shanehawk.com! 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t leave it up, cause it doesn’t fit with our shelf taller guidelines, but I tried for you! 😂😂😂

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

@jwocker.bsky.social I got Edelweiss access for “Chasing the Headless Horseman” and what effing timing to have this book. My family and I will be in Sleepy Hollow this fall to see if we potentially have family buried at the Old Dutch Church (also possible distant relations to the Van Tassels 👀👀).

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

—We have “Mexican Gothic” —“That Which Feeds Us” is a Hawaiian Gothic from @kealakendall.bsky.social —Someone has already brought up “Japanese Gothic” If you give “Lipan Apache Gothic,” we will come

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Did it actually??? It normally kicks me out and I have to log back in, but it didn’t this morning. I refuse to do anything after Facebook, but when half your life is on that platform, it does spark some anxiety losing it.

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Is this how I write my shelftalker for a NWAN faceout at the bookstore? “As seen on THE FOUR SEASONS?”

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I wish you’d done that a month ago when I was on my way to Bismarck. 😞😞😞😞

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

When it’s midnight and you have a library shift in *checks notes* ten hours, but you had to finish @kealakendall.bsky.social’s That Which Feeds Us, and you feel certain you’ve found another pick for top three reads of 2026. Keala, I like to collect thank you’s, so Mahalo nui loa for this winner! 🙌

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr... The library system I work for is making budget cuts, and it’s been very anxiety inducing wondering who and how it will impact myself and colleagues. If you’d like to take a moment to ask our board to reconsider how these cuts should be done, you’d have my gratitude!

sign.moveon.org

Protect the Library, Librarians and Library Staff

The board and library administration claim these cuts will impact all areas of the library system equitably, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The workers most likely to bear the burden are unio...

When you’re on Edelweiss, subbing at a branch, and you have to try not to scream into the Last-Hour-At-The-Library silence, because this beauty dropped. @stephengrahamjones.com, you and @shanehawk.com are about to give me a beautiful summer (I say “summer,” because my ass is a slow reader).

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

It was incredibly meaningful and spoke your truth. I’m sincerely excited to jump into this as we progress into summer!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I just started this on Edelweiss, but I loved yours and Theodore’s Introduction pages. 🥹

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I was looking at my books at home the other day, and it saddens me: There’s probably a percentage of books we’ll never get to in our homes before we pass. 🥲🥲🥲

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Literally am now watching an Amazon van parked IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN ROAD with his hazard lights on to make a delivery. So, one way of cars can go by, but your loss if you’re coming from the other direction, cause this asshat was too lazy to find a spot IN THE PLETHORA OF OPEN STREET PARKING!

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

@metuiteme.bsky.social, as I read 250+ books, because the pandemic wrecked me, I finally concluded The Ones Who Come Back Hungry. You’ve hit little Shannon’s heart in the right place. 👏❤️🎉✨ Now, I’ll sleep tonight with no closure, going, “How did Audrey get it?!?” 😭😭😭 Those questions have no answers

Caught me at Folk Horror 👀👀👀

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

While I was in the bookstore the other day, a thought came upon me, because I was looking at a book: Everyone in the building was looking for a good hallucination. Can’t remember who came up with that original concept, but everyone is collectively in the store to find their next hallucination.

021

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

My 2026 started in December, where I felt like I had my ass handed to me, and now this is the month where I feel like I’m getting punched in the gut, so know that you’re not alone. ❤️ Sorry that everything feels like it’s piling up.

000

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Do they have any friends or classmates that have talked about their parents making them move out when they turn eighteen? I know that’s a reality for a good chunk of kids before the end high school. That could be what set the fear in your child. I’m glad you let them know their reality will be ok. ❤️

110

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

I have been punched in the gut twice this week, and I can’t take whatever the third coming of three’s is going to be. I simply can’t do it
