Joy is resistance! Community is resistance.
During this weird and awful time, it was grounding and so joyful to be among my people this weekend. Grateful for the warmth & community of every friend, reader, bookseller, volunteer, organizer, shop, and moment of the San Diego book crawl & indie bookstore day! Here are just a few of the highlights — but it’s more fun than i can ever capture in photos, every year, and I am so proud to be a part of it.
