All ok, whew, thank you John! I think we may have been the epicenter (or super close to it)! Happy Thanksgiving coming up!

We’re ok, thanks Wade! It definitely woke the entire house, pets and all..the aftershock was a bit alarming too. I think the epicenter was literally in my city!

Not to mention that school and library sales are a HUGE portion of all authors' sales. So they get the sale that you personally didn't pay for, your neighbor gets better access to books, and your unhoused pal has a place to sit WE ALL WIN

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve.

By stealing instead, you're cheating your neighbors AND the artists. Dick.
