Y’ALL.
This Saturday is INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY and Nowhere Bookshop is cordially inviting you to come and visit and celebrate with us. (There’s extra parking behind the store if needed.)
Why should you come?
First off, there will be a golden ticket hidden somewhere in the store on Saturday and the first lucky person who finds it will win a year’s worth of audiobooks from Libro.fm. “Do audiobooks count as real books?” YES THEY FUCKING DO.
Stop at our bar and cafe for cupcakes and snacks and we’ll also be making our special sparkly lavender lemonade and pink prosecco rosé.
Exclusive book merch is available Saturday (including the blackwing pencils which I don’t know what those are but people are very excited about them?):
And cool in-store giveaways:
And I had 75 of my drawings printed up (double-sided) on heavy card stock that I’m signing and tucking into my books on the shelf.
They look fuzzy in the image because I suck at taking pictures but I assure you, they’re pristine and gorgeous. If there are any left over I’ll tuck them into book orders that come through online.
In fact, we going to be tucking little surprises into any orders that come in from our website this weekend because I know we have friends and fans all over who can’t make it. So maybe you’ll get a Nowhere medal or sticker or magnet or an advance copy of a book we’re excited about. WHO THE HELL KNOWS? IT’S CHAOS. (And you can order personalized copies of my book here and I will happily implicate you in a crime or draw a picture of a giant metal chicken in your book, if requested. We mail all over the world.)
AND we’re going to give one lucky person who signs up to be a new subscriber to one of our book clubs on this weekend 6 months free! (Do you know about our book clubs where we send you books right to your house? There’s Fantastic Strangelings (weird and wonderful), Nightmares from Nowhere (horror), Happy Endings (romance) and the Little Bitty Book Club (picture books). I pick the books for the first two and I apologize in advance for the weird emails you’ll be getting from me. I think we also need to start a YA bookclub and a graphic novel bookclub too but that’s all in the future. Or a manga book club. OR A WITCHY BOOKCLUB. Sorry. I’ll stop. I got overwhelmed.) Click here to join us or find out more about our clubs.
Come see us!
PS. If you see me, don’t ever be afraid to say hi. I fact, always say hi unless I’m actively peeing or crying. Basically if no liquids are coming out of me you should say hi. Also, I have a hearing problem and ADHD so feel free to throw something at me if I seem like I didn’t hear you. Something soft, I mean. Not like a chair or a drink. Unless it’s really necessary. Use your best judgement.
PPS. If the cat/possum drawing is too small for you you can order a bigger size on the same heavy card stock right here.
PPPS. If you’re not in San Antonio go check out your local indie bookstore because there are celebrations happening all around the world on Saturday and it can be hard out there for an indie bookshop these days. Your support keeps us all going. Because of you we’ve been able to make a safe and welcoming place for people to gather and read and learn and grow. I’m so lucky I get to be a part of it. Thank you.
