I love this little video from Brilliant Books in Traverse city with our Bright Green Futures anthology!
A reminder that indie bookstores rock & there's never a bad time to visit one. And @bookshop.org supports indies online!

It’s #indiebookstoreday!
If you’ve been thinking about picking up one of my books, both set in the #pnw, may I suggest Powell’s Books?

I had no idea about indie bookstore day and it’s a good excuse to get a few books I’ve been looking at. I love living in a place with so many small bookstores and so far all the ones I’ve found are queer too! #bookstodon #indiebookstoreday #indiebookstores #queerbookstore #books #literature #fuckamazon
Come on out to RavenCon this weekend! If you can't do that, at least avoid the zon on Saturday and buy your books from a small bookstore instead.
RavenCon of Richmond, VA is this weekend. It's an awesome, fan run SFF convention with an emphasis on science & writing. Here's what I'll be doing there: https://thescribblinglion.com/ravencon-2025-is-this-weekend/

Looks like libro.fm is having a weeklong sale leading up to Indie Bookstore Day* and there are lots of great deals for DRM-free audiobooks!!! I've already gotten three in addition to my monthly credit and I may buy more
*I think the name varies, but this is the name for the Canadian version, organized by the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association. They even have a website to help people fine indie booksellers!!!
Finally picked up *months* of orders that I placed at the queer bookshop down the street, Birdie Books. I thought they'd be a bit upset that I was planning orders and not picking them up, but no, they're happy I'm a customer!
Shopping there and buying from them is a much, *much* better experience than Amazon. Seriously. If you haven't, find your closest indie bookstore, you'll love it!
The books, all of which I'm excited to get to:
- HUMANKIND, Rutger Bregman
- SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, Suzanne Collins
- THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP, Sarah Kendzior
- PAPER DOLL, Dylan Mulvaney
- THE QUEER ALLIES BIBLE, NV Gay
- THE STONEWALL READER, anthology
- TRANSGENDER HISTORY, Susan Stryker
If you’re in the Albuquerque area, come say hello on February 6th at Bookworks! I’ll be there to support Lauren C Teffeau in celebrating the release of her new mythic science fiction book A HUNGER WITH NO NAME (University of Tampa Press).

My friend and former colleague, Katherine D. Morgan, is running a GoFundMe to bring her Black woman-owned online romance bookshop to brick-and-mortar reality. Katherine is talented and experienced and savvy and an all-around lovely person. Help her add another wonderful indie bookstore to Portland's community!

A rainy day visit to our local indie bookstore Rainy Day Books. I picked up Knife by Salman Rushdie after hearing his recent interview with Ezra Klein.
I also picked up a great map of all the independent bookstores in the Midwest, and I have to say, man, Wisconsin is admirably chock-a-block! Puts us to shame!

I'm not a big frontlist reader, so I've been increasingly disappointed by Bookshop.org's catalog and the number of books I've read that aren't available there at all. In many cases, there's not even a listing with an out of stock message, as if the book I'm holding in my hand doesn't exist.
I want to link to them anytime I mention a book, but the hit rate has been depressingly low for me.
#Bookstodon Last day to get #freeshipping from our Bookshop.org shop! Get some fun #queerbooks from us and support #indiebookstores too! https://bookshop.org/shop/qospress
