Thanks for the shout out--I shouted you out in a note this morning. I've said it before, but your writing is always smart and fluid and personal in the best way.
And: Give me the poop on affiliation with Bookshop.org. That sounds like a thing I should be doing.
I get a lot of ebooks from the Seattle Public Library [read the Kindle under the covers at night], and I like the flexibility of schlepping the Kindle on the bus and so on. I don't buy enough paper books--partly because I'm in the business of giving most of my books away (before somebody else has to unload them) . . . I used to bring tubfuls to the residencies, but since then I've put out a FB call for people who want five books for the cost of media mail. That was good, but it's too much work prepping them for the P.O. I think I'm gonna load up a box and drive around Tacoma slipping them into the little libraries. The books I order I try to get from Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, for the sake of supporting them.
I love acquiring books -- and giving them away too! Little Free Libraries are some of my favorite things :) For Bookshop.org, if you sign up to be an affiliate, and you use the special links, you get a small commission any time a reader clicks through and buys from your shop. Takes a bit of time to cultivate, but I think it's fun too!
Honored for the shout out!! Your creative rules (maybe there’s a more fun word than rules here) are SO GOOD. Mysterious. Humble. Wise. Generous. Keeping these near ❤️
