Did the annual Chicago Indie Bookstore crawl. Hit 16 shops and bought 15 books across the city and a few burbs. Very cool.

Visited 10 independent bookstores today with my Mini Me, drove past a big protest outside a Tesla showroom (including giant inflatable chicken with shiny Trump hair) AND saw a yellow-rumped warbler in the side yard, so, yeah, pretty great day. #teamindie
4 nerds, 7 hours, 10 bookstores, 1 great Independent Bookstore Day! all the love to @olivia.wtf & @sozato.bsky.social for helping me pull off this epic 34th birthday for my sister! #chilovebooks #teamindie

Five bookstores (one not stamped) is a very respectable showing for #IndieBookstoreDay. Time well used!

Well I don't think I'll make it to 10 bookstores, much less all 55, but loved venturing north to @roscoebooks.bsky.social and close to home at Call and Response ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Independent Bookstore day to all who celebrate #chilovebooks #teamindie
Next up: Lake Forest Book Store. We're running behind so just had to go in for a quick stamp but such a cute book store! Wonderful nonfiction selection! #chilovebooks #teamindie #idbchi25 #indiebookstoreday
Second stop: Bookends & Beginnings in Evanston. Bought this book because Meta knowingly used pirated versions of my own book of literary theory and those of many people I know to train their AI, so the title caught my eye. #TEAMINDIE #ChiLoveBooks
My first stop on Independent Bookstore Day — Booked in Evanston. Got a “Fairytale Tarot” reading from Gus and bought Braiding Sweetgrass, which everyone except me has read. #TEAMINDIE #ChiLoveBooks

An illustration by artist and author Lucy Knisley featuring a red brick bookstore with Indie Bookstore Day! chalked on the sidewalk. The shop is full of anthropomorphic cats, all sharing books and browsing the shelves. The Chicago skyline is visible in the background.
