I had a rare weekend morning all to myself (🤯) and decided to pop in to The Book Club—a new(ish) bookstore and coffee shop only about 15 mins from my house. I brought my laptop and settled in to grade my MFA students’ final projects with a coffee and used paperback for only $7.00. #indiebooksellers

When I first started my bookseller page I faced the same quandary. And I came up with the same answer: "Yes, book sales are nice, but more than anything, I just want to talk about my work and make some connections and friends!"
