This is true! We do some amount of shoveling in bookstores but I don't know if I would use that word to describe the bookselling process 😭

Also "shoveling it out the door" - is this how any book people talk about selling books??

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I got another one ...very few people seem to know about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's many anti-trans comments so the media attention surrounding her new book will undoubtedly be positive and voluminous

Oh my god there is a scene in this where in 1990 Trump goes to a bookselling conference to promote his book! Does anyone know anything about this? I am dead 😭

I did a search for "bookseller" but I only got people I already follow, so maybe I'm doing something wrong! Ty anyway!

Idk maybe don't include your book in a holiday gift guide if you're going to let it go out of stock ☺️

One thing they don't tell you about being a serial book hoarder is that it makes attempts to declutter the stuff of the other people in your house ...sort of comical. "Oh you think these baseball hats are a bit much?" *Points practically anywhere*

Booksellers, are you on here? Can we finally recreate the halcyon days of twitter where we had a nice community that was actually helpful??

I think romance readers have reclaimed the word, based on the number of "I read smut" stickers and tshirts and bookmarks I've seen on faire

Eh I work in retail so it isn't something I want to re-live in any way shape or form. But I hear what you say, and I'm glad these books exist for those who want them!

I am honestly shocked that people want to read (let alone **write**) novels with covid storylines. Like there is nothing I want to read about less. We all went through it. Like not that long ago. It isn't revelatory? It isn't interesting? Anyone else?
