Ever walked into a bookstore and felt like the queer section was basically one shelf and a dream? Yeah. Same. Queer folks deserve better than breadcrumbs. We need a place where we're not a footnote — we're the main character. Want first dibs? Visit bit.ly/48awe3D

Indie Bookstore Day is tomorrow! Come support an indie bookstore that: is queer owned, focuses on diverse reads, speaks out against genocide, and is staffed by actual, real people who love books and are not billionaires!

We read trans books all year 🏳️‍⚧️ It's time for the Trans Rights Readathon, and we're so excited to see a lot of participation! Now more than ever, we trans and nonbinary folks are fighting for our right to exist, & it's important that you bring your energy IRL to help us & defend your trans siblings.

Super excited to meet Sarah Gailey! They're the author of Upright Women Wanted, which is one of the two books that inspired our current business model. Gailey was SO supportive of the bookstore, and it was so wonderful to meet them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun romp! The premise drew me in, and the well drawn secondary characters kept me around. Tons of action, some romance, some fun, badass queer characters, and plot driven, which are my favorite kinds of books. (Con.)

I'm Candice, owner of Tubby & Coo's. I'm nonbinary, witchy, have invisible disabilities, and neurodivergent. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I also love plot-driven sci-fi, weird horror, and a good romance subplot. Cozy fantasy will get me to read it every time.
