Repost Libro.fm Audiobooks Get Repost App • Libro.fm Audiobooks Reading is a superpower! 🌟 And we are here to tell you why ➡️⁠
⁠
By supporting indies and libraries, fighting book bans, and helping more authors get published, our reading is powerful. And that knowledge can provide hope on the darkest of days 🔦⁠
⁠
How do you use your superpower? Let us know! ⬇️⁠

[ID: Four slides with bookstore images. Across them, text reads: “I’m just a person who loves to read. I can’t make a difference.” That’s not true! Reading is a superpower. Here’s why. When we support indie bookstores and public libraries, we say “no” to big corporations, and “yes” to community. We boost our local economy, help create jobs and publicly funded resources, and encourage support for vulnerable neighbors. And when we read books, we’re signaling to publishers to invest in those authors and similar stories. By reading, we can encourage more support for LGBTQIA+, disabled, and authors of color. And with increasing book bans, isolation, and misinformation, empathy, imagination, and critical thinking are more important than ever. Reading encourages all of these skills, and we can use them for good 💗]

Repost .lawhon Not all queens wear crowns⚔️🏴‍☠️
 
Channeling a bit of Ireland’s Grace O’Malley for “The Pirate Queen”, a novel by bestselling author .lawhon – on sale today!
 
It was such a pleasure to get my hands on a copy of this novel and read a historical adventure inspired by Grace O’Malley’s very real and intriguing life as a pirate rising to power in sixteenth-century Ireland. Grace is such a striking and enduring figure and it was so much fun to read this version of her life—and to film at one of the islands where she once held a stronghold just off the Connemara coast. It’s wild to know that she once sailed these seas, and perhaps even explored this cove!

Repost After losing her best friend, Ann Patchett poured all that love into her new novel, Whistler. We sat down to speak with her about what it means to love and to lose, what she’s learned as a bookseller about reading, and why the most important thing for any writer is getting your posture right.

Watch the full conversation on our YouTube channel, listen wherever you get podcasts, or follow the author interviews link in our bio.
