Took some time to peek inside one of Philly’s newest bookshops, @thrillerdelphia in Manayunk. Such an awesome curated selection. Loved seeing the counter spotlight for @v_e_tirado and a whole bookshelf full of @adamcesare @chuck_wendig and @lizmoorebooks . Can’t wait to be back. What a shop!

Lotta emails and social media ads are liking flooding your eyes with deals this weekend, so a reminder… Shop small. Visit your local indie. Keep it in your community. Your bookish life will be better for it. Besides. The billionaires have enough money.
