What a week it was! Between the online orders, school orders, and overall upkeep of my sections, I was a busy bee.

The biggest part of my week though, was meeting with my Manager and the Director of Operations. We went for coffee and ended up talking for over an hour. It was nice to be able to share how I was feeling in my current roll and for him to acknowledge how much I actually do for the store. Hopefully a raise and promotion is right around the corner.

Speaking of things I do for the Bookstore, I have an affiliate link that I shared on my Bluesky (be sure to follow me there!) and I brought in two sales! May not seem like a lot but every little bit counts for an Indie Bookstore.

On the topic of Bluesky, my account skyrocketed from 42 followers on Monday morning, to over 4,500! I make jokes, discuss current issues, and of course, give reading updates. Find me there at
