This Independent Bookstore Day was everything I needed. Post-layoff, and especially after this past week, I really needed this day of celebrating bookish spaces and the incredible bookstore owners of Chicago.

7 hours, 15 bookstores! I had to restrain myself while still supporting our amazing indies. I tried to funnel my energy into buying books for my friends’ kids, but even so, I took home a good couple reads for myself. And now I have 15% off for the year! Thanks to my partner for taking photos and helping me to carry all these books, and to all the kind booksellers I saw in person today. 🩵

The Saint Martin's Press boycott is ongoing.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people discrediting it by saying it will harm the authors, despite it being made clear that it is a MARKETING boycott - you can still buy and read the books! Just don’t post about them. Finding the publisher of a book is easy too, hence these graphics I made!

You can find these graphics to download/share and more info about the boycott here.

*✧ — february wrap up

it was an audiobook month <3 i did not have much time to read in outside of my commute (my new job has me exhausted) and, while on the move, audiobooks are just easier to get though. so yeah. i hope i'll manage to actually pick up physical books again this month.

2024 goal: 38/100 books

as alway, feel free to drop book recs, questions, or opinions in my inbox; i am always happy to talk to you about books!
