On #IndependentBookstoreDay this year I finally bit the bullet and switched over to #LibroFMfor my audiobooks. It'll take a long time to build up as comprehensive a library there as I have on Audible, but so far I'm enjoying the experience and it feels good to support my local indie bookstore with my audiobook purchases! If you'd like to try it too, here's my referral link: https://www.libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm371193

Do you ever wish you could do three good deeds at once? Good news: You can! If you buy a book from either of our independent bookstore wishlists between now and May 5th, 2025, 3 good things will happen:

1. An incarcerated reader will receive a book.

2. Your gift will be matched by a generous donor (for a maximum of
$1,000 per wishlist).

3. You will support independent bookstores.

Just finished reading Maeve Binchy's "the builders"
Nice story. Turned in a different direction than I thought it would go. Only 87 pages.
I found it at a local independent bookstore on Saturday.

Happy #independentbookstoreday from San Francisco ❤️❤️❤️ stopped by city lights books yesterday @citylightsbooks

Already on my radar + discovering the author also wrote another classic + Bookshop.org's #IndependentBookstoreDay celebration* = instant purchase.

Also, the Albertus "biography."

*That Amazon is trying to undercut. https://glammr.us/@jessamyn/114405085939117354

Attached: 1 image Book 42: Murder Your Employer. This was a fun one to ILL at the library. My director: "Should I be worried?" The story is about a mysterious school in an unknown location where people receive schooling in the fine arts of undetectable murder (of one's employer). It follows three students through their experiences at the school. The important catch is that if you don't accomplish your "thesis" you will, yourself, be killed. Written by Rupert "Pina Colada Song" Holmes. It's a fun, if goofy, read.
