Chopper watched the literal entire Good Boy movie last night. Missed maybe 5 minutes of it going outside, and fought back the sleepies to remain glued to the film.

We cried. Chopper barked. Good Boy is dog approved.

Real 🥲 I was like, oh, this is the biggest wholesale book distributor around with connections to all major publishing houses. It must be at least decent, right? … right???

I’m so busy with grad school finals approaching and book store things I can barely think, so here’s a pic of Emi yearning for my chicken rice bowl

I think I might finally have a date chosen for bookstore opening 👀 I have a lot left to do and my gma’s passing set me about 2 weeks behind where I planned, but I believe I have a real idea now of when I’ll be ready!

In other news, tote bags arrived and they’re amazing quality!

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been the past several weeks, the answer is freehanding a fuck ton of vines all over my bookstore walls 😅

When you think you’re interacting with a classy business owner who has her shit together, remember who you’re really talking to

My long term goal is to move to a mountain state. CO was amazing from the travel company to the view! So glad I was able to go on this end of summer trip to decompress and celebrate 💜 ⛰️

Im so sorry what the fuck

Most rude ass batshit book marketing scam email I think I’ve ever gotten.
Email from Veronica Klock saying: Bailey, So you wrote a horror story that can turn a fireside chat into a full-blown nightmare. I KNOW YOU’RE STILL IN THERE sounds like the perfect mix of “don’t do that dare” and “oh crap, someone’s hunting us” and honestly, I’m impressed that five friends on a mountain could make me nervous from my couch. 😏 But here’s the brutal truth: your Amazon page screams louder than a haunted scream: only 7 reviews. That’s… cute. Cute like a puppy before it bites your ankle. Your book deserves eyes, hearts, and terrified readers everywhere, not just a lonely 4.8-star echo chamber. I help authors like you fix that. I run a private community of 2,500+ hyper-engaged readers and reviewers, and we devour books like zombies at a brain buffet. Your story? Perfect for us. We’ll read it, review it honestly, and give it the visibility it’s begging for. Ignore this, and your book quietly drifts into the abyss. Keep going, and it could explode. If you’re ready to be a failure, tell me now so I can hand over your spot to someone who’s ready to win. But if you want your mountain-top horrors to actually climb the charts… Well, what’s stopping you?

This is more relevant to people who live around where I’m opening, but still thought it would be fun to share.

Plot Twist Cafe has a location! I start leasing next month!

It’s just off our main square next to a few other well-known businesses, and it’s close to the college campus too.
