Five pages in, I’m already delighted beyond reckoning and preemptively glaring at Consort, should he have the temerity to interrupt. Tomorrow’s @susanorlean.bsky.social’s pub date. You should get this book; if in LA, you should get it at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social.

I’m going on my second book tour ever this fall, the first time for a book that I wrote by myself, and I planned the whole thing and I’m doing all the events with my friends and I’m just very emotional about it all.

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
