Did you know that you can follow Kelli/Wren on StoryGraph? StoryGraph is the indie version of goodreads and you can see updates on what they're reading, reviews of books, and even join them in a Book Club or Buddy Read!
Intrigued about StoryGraph but don't care one fig about what they're reading? StoryGraph is an excellent (and free!) way to track your book lists from what you'd like to read, what you've already read (even if you didn't finish them), and which books you own.

To join Kelli/Wren on their trading journey, you can follow (or friend!) them here:

Friday, Jan 30th, is a nationwide economic blackout. After careful consideration and having participated in last week's statewide blackout, we have decided to remain open during our regular business hours on the 30th, as a warm place for our community.

In solidarity,

Kelli ❤️
