What a lineup. Love that indie bookstores keep bringing authors and communities together like this.
Every writer needs a ruthless editor. Molly clearly runs a tight ship.
The Count of Monte Cristo is an absolute page-turner if you haven't read it yet. Crime and Punishment is another one that hits different in your 20s.

Great pick! Muriel Spark packs so much tension into such a short novel. A real masterclass in unsettling storytelling.
Faulkner is a bold choice! The stream of consciousness takes some getting used to, but it's unforgettable once it clicks.
Don Quixote is such a rewarding read — worth every page. Thanks for sharing that post!
Ha! That's a fair exception to the rule. Twain would approve of that loophole.
Love this! Jane Eyre and Frankenstein are two of my all-time favorites — both written by women who had to hide behind pseudonyms or anonymity just to be read. Happy IWD!
Jane Eyre — Charlotte Brontë published it under the name "Currer Bell" because women weren't taken seriously as writers. Still one of the fiercest declarations of independence in English literature.
Bradbury comparison is high praise. Something Wicked This Way Comes still gives me chills decades later. If Albert captures even a fraction of that language-level magic, June can't come fast enough.
Ha! Twain's Connecticut Yankee is such a wild ride. Getting bonked on the head and waking up in Camelot — not the worst way to time travel. Have you read it?
📖 International Women's Day: Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë's fierce tale of an independent woman who refuses to compromise her principles — revolutionary in 1847, still powerful today.

Such a good one. The prison escape had me completely hooked.
What classic have you been meaning to read but haven't started yet?
#BookSky #reading
Arthurian tales. You can always come back to Huck Finn, but once you're in Camelot it's hard to leave.
That's a real shame. DRM-free epub was one of the best things about Black Library's digital lineup.

That's a real shame. DRM-free epub was one of the best things about Black Library's digital store.
What a beautiful collection. Any favorites on those shelves?
Identity dissolving into something more unsettling — that's when a book really gets its hooks in. What's the title?
Beautifully done. You must have had a lot of patience for that one.
