Loyalty Bookstores

Horrifying to see my own face on the timeline with that "well yeah it is bad" look on it so many times, but DEEPLY touched to see the reposts and shares. We love you bookternet. We also love supporting authors with preorders and shares! Thank you thank you! -Hannah

Just finished many hours of signing the books you all have preordered from @loyaltybooks.bsky.social. Shout out to those who got books not only for yourself but for your kids, your grandchildren, your students, and even the kid down the street who keeps riding his bike over your lawn. I’m grateful.

Thank you so much!

Petworth is open 1-5PM today (Sunday) as our booksellers head out to our trade show/ conference! See you next week all inspired and ready to rock those *gulp* fall and holiday books!

Listen, I think if it is gonna storm every afternoon for some random amount of time it should count as automatic reading breaks. We all just stop, drop, and read. No email, no real life, just book. Seems entirely reasonable to me.

Thanks so much for sharing!!

Two days later… still gay. Holding onto our queer lit extra tight right now. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

To share, for those in DC area, @loyaltybooks.bsky.social will host convo between myself and @venessakelley.bsky.social on Thurs., July 10 at 7pm, at the DC Pop-Up as we discuss The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery and When the Tides Held the Moon.

Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Because we are a tiny staff run by overwhelmed elder millennials and mainly by one with rather intense ADHD we sometimes forget to say hi on here. But HI! The bookish community here has been so kind and we're grateful for you tags, props, and questions. 💕

We lovvvvvve Libro.fm! I may be listening to an audiobook via them right now as get the store ready to open. Thank you for your support! -Hannah
