I just had to do some in-person banking. It was an uncomplicated and unremarkable transaction. At the end, the teller said "thank you for being kind to me." On the way home I wondered how much abuse she must take on a daily basis for her to say that. #BeNice

More than 300 new independent bookstores have sprouted across the U.S. in the past couple of years, in a surprising revival after an early pandemic slump. The book selling business — traditionally overwhelmingly white — has also become much more diverse.

No risk of me quitting my day job to become an IG influencer, but hopefully what these Q&As lack in on-camera skills, they make up for in helpful info 😆

LOL (virtually) with @granthony on 2/2! Her latest book, THE KIDS ARE GONNA ASK, is "a whip-smart, entertaining novel about twin siblings who become a national phenomenon after launching a podcast to find the biological father they never knew." Register: bit.ly/3bVR0bL
A huge congrats to @granthony's novel THE KIDS ARE GONNA ASK (@parkrowbooks), whose irresistible YA #crossover appeal has earned it a coveted spot on the @yalsa Alex Awards list! Congratulations Gretchen! 🎈🎉 (Check out all our 2021 YALSA winners here:harlequinforlibraries.com/20…)

Together we will paw an American story of hope and yummy nom noms, not fear & dry food. Of unity and squeaky balls, not division & broken toys. Of light and pet adoptions, not darkness & puppy mills. - #DOTUS Champ and Major & #COTUS Winston
