Support independent bookstores while you’re at it. Win-win. Read boldly. Show up informed. Be ready for the lecture.

📖AUTHOR EVENT📖 I enjoyed a lovely evening at @littleshopofstories with authors Lauren Blackwood and Jordan Ifueko. Blackwood’s new book, Wildblood, was one of my most anticipated YA fantasies for February. I can’t wait to dive into this “Jamaican jungle teeming with ghostly monsters.” I don’t know why I enjoy listening to authors discuss their writing process, but I do. Maybe it’s because I find the act of creative writing to be so intimidating. The best events are those with two writers in conversation. I’d love to see Jordan Ifueko lead more author discussions. Her energy and enthusiasm were absolutely delightful. And now I’m ashamed it’s taken me so long to read Raybearer. YA readers in Atlanta are pretty spoiled by the number of authors in the metro area. And they are so supportive of each other! There’s almost always at least one bestselling YA author in the audience. (Last night I found myself sitting behind Mark Oshiro.) Looking forward to more great author events soon! ❓What was the last fun event you attended?

Last week while in the U.K. I also had the opportunity to visit the charming town of Lewes, where my good friend Triin @wordchild lives. Sadly, this bookshop still had not opened for the day when I walked by. But that didn’t stop me from snapping this photo through the window. I wish I had time that day to go back and brows. Can you imagine the treasures that are just sitting in there waiting to be read? When you go book shopping do you prefer a tidy shop with new editions or a cluttered shop with used books? . . . . . #shelfie #supportindiebookstores #bookstore #bookshop #bookshopping #shelfie #bookshelves #booksofinstagram #booksonbooksonbooks #booksfordays #bookshelf #lotsabooks #bookcase #bookshopshelfie #bookstorevibes #livresque #bookshopsoftheworld #readtheworld #bookshelfie (at Lewes Book Centre)

I had a budget. I had willpower. I had a plan. 🤓📋 Then I accidentally made eye contact with a bookstore. 📚😅 Some battles aren’t meant to be won—and honestly, this is one I’m happy to lose. 😂✨

Forever and for always 💜
