@AuthorGFAllen Hi! What have you been reading lately? I have been reading Heavenbreaker by Sara Wolf

Whether you write, read, or just love books, feel free to say hi! 📚

“Gideon the Ninth” was my favorite book of 2025, if you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. Also a huge fan of @anberlin been listening to “Never Take Friendship Personal” on repeat for a few weeks now.

@cyclingwithjoon That’s gorgeous

GUYS 😭 THIS IS LITERALLY THE VIEW FROM MY ROOM RN OH GOD

Was reading "Picture of Dorian Gray" the other day and came across the work Academicians. Not entirely sure how/when this word was used, but glad we pivoted to just saying academics.

@ana_scribe @josh14SAMMY That’s so exciting!!! Congratulations!

I AM GOING TO BE PUBLISHED IN 18 DAYS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

@isberryauthor @AtriaMysteryBus I couldn’t agree more. It’s nice to be a bookstore, but it feels like being part of the fabric to be in a library. I can’t help but picture my childhood self picking up my book when it’s at a library.

Always something a little magical about seeing your book at the library... 📚😊 Spotted at the Chevy Chase DC Library. @AtriaMysteryBus #spy #spynovel @espionage #thepeacockandthesparrow #library

@MJHuntsgood Haha that’s honestly very fair. (In my best ChatGPT voice) would you like me to provide you some options of why you’re here? 🤣🤣🤣

Considering the amount of posts made with AI and the amount of users that are bots, social media is just computers talking to computers. I'm not even really sure why I'm here.

I prefer reading right before bed from a “distractions” perspective, but lack the control to put it down. 🤣🤣🤣 any suggestions on carving out a better time or habit? I need to sleep #readingcommunity

Cthulhu in .5 😂😂😂 ready for his closeup! Gotta seal and paint him, but such a blast to make.

I thought I’d share this - I created some free online puzzles/games on our website. Feel free to play them whenever. I put them there as much to my own boredom and enjoyment.

@ruinmeruinus_ Honestly same 🤣🤣🤣 I’m always behind on my reading goals.

@literarianism Wow! Quite the collection! I totally understand how you feel, reading is both so empowering, and grounding.

Had a really fun first week with 5 orders! Looking forward to January.

@timmckay52 That’s fantastic! I hope you have an even better 2026! Congratulations!

🎉 As of today, I have sold over 1,000 books 🎉 What a way to start the year.

@xx_howdy My first this year is Heavenbreaker. So far so good!

My first read of 2026. What’s yours ?? 📚

Cozy day to do some cleaning and prepare for our first full month as a bookstore! Hope you have an amazing weekend! #indiebookstore

Went to a nail trim with the pups! They do great as usual! Love these two!

@saetryi I’ll definitely have to add this book to my 2026 list

@RowansTavern she's definitely one of my favorites
