The Soaring ‘20’s Celebrate Independent Bookstores!

August 29th is Independent Bookstore Day! We are so thankful for the support that independent bookstores have given us in our debut year, from running launch parties, to handling orders, to offering book signings — indies are the best! 

In these pandemic times, our local stores need our support now more than ever. Here’s where you can find signed copies (and in some cases, order personalized ones) of our 2020 releases. Or, you can always order books from YOUR local store via their store website or by using IndieBound or Bookshop.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day!
