If you are still on the fence about switching to Libro.fm, this should be the thing that pushes you over. Audible would never. So much so, they have exclusive audiobooks that they don’t even send to libraries, the only place that makes everything acceptable to everyone. Make the switch!

Peak bookstore comedy here. 🤣Thank you @ballastbookco.bsky.social for an amazing event with @mattdinniman.bsky.social!

I love my town so much! Great turnout today!

Indie bookstore day was amazing! Loved spending time with friends and supporting @ballastbookco.bsky.social, also so glad to have found the golden ticket again! @libro.fm 😍

Can’t wait to go support @ballastbookco.bsky.social today!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

My commute is already 1.5 hours+ each way using the fast boat, please don’t cut our funding for this.

A red book held up to a storefront, the book is What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher and the book store is Kingfisher Bookstore.

Thought it was fitting to get a @tkingfisher.com book from Kingfisher Bookstore!
