@tmarble @pluralistic I pre-ordered The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI from my local bookstore. I *love* having a vibrant local bookstore: Morgenstern's Books in Bloomington, IN.

If you like board games, you'll LOVE this #Tallahassee #bookstore where I'm signing copies of DROWNING IN DECEPTION next month!
I'll be at My Favorite Books, located in the courtyard next to WinnDixie on Magnolia St., from 10 AM until noon, on Saturday, June 13. Stop by and say hi, and enjoy some surprises.

Made the pilgrimage to Mecca—correction, the Quaboag Book Shop—this Saturday with my son. It's an 80-minute drive for us, but totally worth it.
If you live in New England and love books, this really is a place you have to visit! It's quite possibly the most extensive used book shop in New England these days. They have an incredible selection of used books, particularly old and obscure ones.

The store is in a rural part of Massachusetts, about half an hour west of Worcester. It's a truly beautiful area.
Here's what I picked up on this trip (not including the ones my son bought):
• Time and Again by Jack Finney (hardcover) - I have several copies, but it's always good to have extras!
• The Impossibles by Mark Phillip - sometimes I pick up a book by an unknown author on a whim.
• Alien Planet by Fletcher Pratt - I don't know if I've read this one, but Pratt is worth a gamble.
• The Artificial Man by L.P. Davies - Something about the cover was weirdly familiar, so...
• The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder - Haven't read this one before, but Snyder's a good author
• The Secret of Skeleton Island (illustrated Alfred Hitchcock edition) - I love the Three Investigators. What can I say?
• 3 by Finney (Jack Finney) - Three short but very memorable novels. I first read this in high school. I have a copy, but another is always good to have.
• Asimov Laughs Again - I'm an old Asimov fan. Saw him speak live at Bridgeport University about 50 years ago. It was memorable.
• Creating A Genre by Robert A. Heinlein (hardcover, "Virginia" edition) - I loathe Virginia Heinlein, but I heard that these were the unedited versions so I'm quite interested.
• Expanded Universe by Robert A. Heinlein (hardcover) - same
• From Time to Time by Jack Finney - Sequel to Time and Again. I read it, didn't like it as much as the first, but I'll give it another try.#Books #Bookstodon #UsedBooks #UsedBookShop #BookShop #BookStore #QuasitBookRecs

A Barnes & Noble opened shop today near office, so I grabbed my copy!

If yo'ure UK based, and looking for a new #Tarot or #Oracle set then hive bookshops - UK Online #Independent #bookstore - has a new selection.
Unlike etsy the cards have diverse art, quality card stock - as far as i can tell - no AI generated art.
I'm not affiliated with Hive but enjoy buying from independent shops and also their customer service (for me) has always been excellent.

Happy Independent #Bookstore Day!
Proud to support Independent bookstores thru Bookshop.org - https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=Kathy+Bryson

It's Independent Bookshop Day. If you buy an ebook from Bookshop.org, the money supports a local bookstore of your choosing. There are three local bookstores that they support in my area, and every time I buy an ebook, I can choose which bookstore I want the donation to go to. A great way to support local booksellers, even if you can't make it into their shop. Works for me. #books #bookstodon #booksky #mastodon #novel #support #local #buylocal #indie #indieAuthor #indieAuthors #readers #reading #read #satire #saturday #writing #writer #writers #writingCommunity #social #bookstore #IndependentBookshop #bookshop #readingCommunity

Sad #bookstore news to note with the impending closure of Ada's Technical Books.
I don't get down there much these days; but, I always made it a point to poke my head in to Ada's when I was around 15th Ave/Volunteer Park.
I hardly recognize the neighboorhood any longer(R.I.P. Coastal Kitchen!).
