First off, a giant thank you to everyone who loves us because Nowhere Bookshop was named the Reader’s Choice Best Independent Bookshop in San Antonio in the San Antonio Current. WHOOP.
Secondly, today I wrote about stealing time from death on my substack if you want to read it.
Third, my favorite new releases this month are The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis and Tantrum by Rachel Eve Moulton. I picked The Hounding for the Fantastic Strangelings Bookclub. It’s like if The Crucible and The Virgin Suicides had a baby that was stolen and raised by We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
And I picked Tantrum for the Nightmares From Nowhere Book Club. Interestingly, this book is also an exploration of female rage…but a little bit darker.
READ THEM BOTH IMMEDIATELY.
Fourth, if you need more new releases to fill your month, I highly recommend Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession by Austin Channing Brown and
Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle.
Fifth, Hailey is feeling better and their cranial palsy has recovered enough that they don’t have double-vision until the evening when they get tired. HELL YES FOR BABY STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Sixth, I can’t remember the sixth thing.
