Is there any warmer welcome than going to a new city and a new bookstore and finding lots of copies of your books?
Thank you so much, Austin and @bookpeople.com!

spectacular itinerary 🙌

Santa In Training @santaintraining.bsky.social · 16d

Enjoying the not terrible weather (in the shade) with the reading of a terribly edited weird book. Just finished grabbing my new favorite coffee drink, picking up a roll of recently developed film, and grabbing the new @scalzi.com book that I pre-ordered at @bookpeople.com.
