Pre-orders matter for authors. Why?

1. They tell retailers/publishers there’s demand for a book
And
2. They generate buzz and excitement, which is great!

Looking to preorder?

#PBRS mentor Aya has a book dropping in August that you’re gonna want 👇🏾

Having kids has completely rekindled my love and admiration of public libraries - what wonderful and magical realms they are.

Like it's genuinely thrilling to suggest going to the library as an activity and the boys are really enthusiastic about it.

"I always said I’m a teacher who writes or an editor who writes. But I never said the real thing until after I’d written a third book. It’s the sort of thing that women frequently do. They sort of need permission to tell themselves that this is the work they do.” ~ Toni Morrison

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books
A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

I am so sad I won't get to do my bookstore crawl tomorrow, but I will next Saturday! I have to be a responsible adult and finish moving this weekend. :(
