Point Reyes Books

Featuring visits from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, @drsuzannesimard.bsky.social, @tempestwilliams.bsky.social, @dghaskell.bsky.social, @robertmoor.com, Helen Whybrow, and more. Our events calendar can be found here: ptreyesbooks.com/upcoming-eve...

Storing up things to look forward to: Thanks to the always fabulous @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social I now have tickets to book events with Rebecca Solnit; Jackie Morris & Tamsin Abbott (online): & Terry Tempest Williams. Will be attending the last with one of my favourite Dominican Sisters.

We've learned over the years that gathering to listen writers talk about their books, their passions, and the things we care about can inspire and renew hope in the face of ongoing crises. We hope you'll join us this winter and spring at some of our events: ptreyesbooks.com/upcoming-eve...

Devastated to learn about the fire that destroyed the incredible Northtown Books in Arcata. Help if you can: giveahand.com/fundraiser/n...

Our booksellers read a lot this year. Here are some of their favorites: ptreyesbooks.com/books-we-lov...

"West Marin Community Services in downtown Point Reyes Station has A LOT of it at the food bank right now - come down and grab some before 5pm today (Wednesday 11/26.) They will be closed tomorrow, Thursday."

We're sure @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social would approve.

A flyer from Point Reyes Books that reads "All profits from sales on shutdown Sundays donated to the SF-Marin Food Bank"

Inspired by fellow booksellers, we at @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social will be donating Sunday profits in November to the SF-Marin Food Bank. You can donate directly to the food bank here: www.sfmfoodbank.org

What We Can Do About ICE ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

SILENCED. The signal may stay on–but the local programming and services you rely on could vanish. It will take all of us to protect KWMR. (KWMR logo + Protect My Public Media Logo)

It's happening. The Senate will soon vote on whether to claw back already approved funds for public radio and TV stations across the country. Tell your Senator to stop this nonsense. A free country needs a free press. Here's how: kwmr.org/post/17070

Samantha Kimmey on her debut novel, The Extremities! — J R D N B W N Jordan sits down with author Samantha Kimmey on her debut novel “The Extremities!” for KWMR’s Community Buzz.

Loved talking to friend and author Samantha Kimmey about her debut novel, "The Extremities!" –the first draft of which I read nearly ten years ago. Her quiet persistence is an inspiration. Special thanks to @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social and @kwmrradio.bsky.social

A picture of a bouquet of flowers on the counter at the bookstore. In the door hangs a pennant that says, Read More Books.

The counter comes alive in the spring.

Got myself some birthday presents @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social

Screenshot of a paragraph in an article on Tomales Bay that praises Point Reyes Books, calling the store "absolutely perfect: small but not too cramped, fantastic shelf-talkers and staff recommendations, the kind of place you find books you've not heard of before that practically call out to you to pick up."

An LA Times writer called our bookstore "absolutely perfect."

A wave and blue sky overlaid with a circular design reminiscent of a mandala or kaleidoscope made of small nature imagery including water, fish, corals, and more. There is also text overlaid on the image that reads: "Elementals, Book Club, Vol. 3, Water. Hear from editors & contributors to Vol. 3, Water of Elementals, the newest five-volume book series from Humans & Nature Press. Online, hosted by Point Reyes Books. March 19th, 2025. 6pm-7pm Pacific. 9pm-10pm Eastern. RSVP at the link in our bio and at ptreyesbooks.com/events/calendar"

📘 What can the vital forces of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire teach us about being human in a more-than-human world?

Join us online to explore this question when Elementals book club returns Weds, March 19th. 🌊
