Hello gremlins,
I write to you today with a ridiculous amount of wonder in my heart. First off, happy Independent Bookstore Day!! Local indies are some of my favorite places in the world, and today I get the privilege of joining Queen Takes Book, a new and vibrant indie bookstore in Columbia, MD, to celebrate! If you’re around, please come party with us. I’ll be there at 4 for an author signing and am very much looking forward to meeting you and getting book recommendations for my summer TBR. I've got a BUNCH of travel coming up and always read ravenously while I’m away, so lay them on me.
AND THEN TOMORROW!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*breathes*
Laini Taylor is a legend!! I’ve been a member of her Patreon for a while now, and her gently wild creativity and relentless pursuit of joy in art have been a balm to my hectic soul. If you’re a writer, or a fervent reader, I absolutely recommend checking out her community.
Tomorrow, April 27, at 2:30 EST, she’s hosting a book club to celebrate the launch of Boys with Sharp Teeth! You do not have to have read the book yet to join; the discussion will be spoiler-free. There will be time for Q&A, too. So, if you’re interested in hanging out OR like me, you’re just a massive fan of Laini, please join us!
It’s free and open to the public, but you do need a passcode. Here’s the link.

Hope to see you there!

RSVP here for the ticketed events! All are free.
