...perhaps jest a wee bit o' jest?

Is there a dress code?

...debating between Reverse Mer and Bedazzled Slime Mold.

Can confirm this is book is (this far) excellent, but does NOT pair well with Ye Siga Tibs

Would the cows outweigh the moooooooooooooon?

YES the author whose book you just devoured wants to hear from you how much you loved it, it changed you, your ego drowned upon its pages.

#ICYMI

Sir, we are about to head to the MOON!

WHERE ARE YOUR CHEESE POSTS?!?

🌕🧀🌕

TO THE MOON! 🌒🌕🌘

...actively ignoring all April 1st intrusive thoughts...

T-5 minutes now! #Artemis

If we had an Annual Store Membership and it got you a tote bag, would you?

...cause we KNOW those totes are solid, but y'all. B&N is neither INDIE nor are they LOCAL.

They're definitely not queer.

So, when should we host our "Queering your B&N tote" DIY Party?

"slipping in for the sex number"

Yes, thank you. Our day is completely now.

🦈💨

—eagerly awaiting our invite to the KitKat Club—

...y'all delaminate your KitKats when you eat them, right?

*giggles* Oh pardon me, let me just get some popcorn 🍿

—this is why 'Military Futures' will be the our first exhibit for the Museum of Genre Fiction ...hopefully at Info Age Science Center / Project Diana—

I made a fun bear head sticker for YOTM bookplate reasons and the bear has antlers with hands growing out of it and is not weird at all I'm very excited

Where do we need to book our flight to so we can snap up those 19 copies?

...only mildly joking...

—will disperse said copies after said VALUE AS ARTIST confirmed as EPIC & IMMEASURABLE—

just once i want video to pivot to me

Last two days of #transrightsreadathon and you can still donate and support!

A small logo of the Trans Rights Readathon appears in the bottom lefthand corner of the image. On a jewel-toned psychedelic background, text reads: PRIZE POOL. Have you done any fundraising during this year’s readathon? Have you financially supported a campaign? We have a (mostly) digital prize pool that some lovely donors have put together to thank you!

An image of a phone surrounded by headphones shows the Libro.fm logo. Text reads: Libro.fm credits. A 6-credit audio bundle.

Text reads: We love seeing your colorful book posts. We love hearing from authors that they’re getting more traffic, sales, and reviews.

A stylized image of a laughing woman in a partially sheer dress appears in the middle of the screen. Text reads: Custom Digital Art. 18+ only portrait by @jdotchilde.

We love trans stories. We love reading them, sharing them, and yapping about them. We love getting recs and building aspirational TBRs. #transrightsreadathon (part 1 of 4)

That looks pretty rad. Will the audiobook be on @libro.fm ... and eBook on @bookshop.org ?

A poster in the style of old horror / creature feature movies, reminiscent of Swamp Thing, or Creature from the Black Lagoon. In the center is a green hardcover book titled These Familiar Walls, with the words written In flames over a dark green background and the roof of the house. A gold badge is on the right side of the book and says NEW RELEASE! in black letters. To the left of the book there is a section of text which reads "pre-launch of her new horror book!!! Run now grab one early on 4-8-26 official release 4-14-26" To lower the right is a picture of a smaller paperback book with a white cover and a picture of a tentacle squirming down a drain at the center, along the top the title reads The Cut. Across the top of the poster it better reads "Wolfe and Kron Books Presents a Haunted Murder Masquerade at Porta, Asbury Park, NJ" At the top right there is the Wolfe & Kron Books store logo in black and white. It is a drawing of a person in a cloak facing to the left, wearing a wolf skull over their face with a sun-ray tiara on top of their head. They are looking down at a book in their hands. Behind them is an arch delineating the edge of the logo and the store name is written below.

Wednesday April 8th at 6pm JOIN US! ...if you dare... for CJ Dotson's Haunted Murder Masquerade!

Nothing is certain, except someone is dead ...and it might be you...

Please please please can these be T-Shirts, like Band Tour Shirts with tour dates and the bookstores on the back?

...just skip the B&Ns, none of us Indie Bookstores need to be seeing that, necessary though those stops may be...

These both need to be shirts.

Who do we need to speak to to have these as a shirt?

Like a PROPER BAND t-shirt with the TOUR INFO on the back.

Who's in?
