It's Independent Bookstore Day and I know I'm late on getting this post out, but that's because I did a crawl to ten bookstores today with my friends!

If you don't have a local store, please consider making us your home store on Bookshop.org and Libro.fm!

Here are some books we recommend for today!

Ryn:

• Lethal Kiss by Taylor Grothe (Out October 20, 2026)

• Seek the Traitor's Son by Veronica Roth (Out May 12, 2026)

• Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (yes, we adore Star Wars in this house)

• The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White

Tori:

• The Sluts by Dennis Cooper

• Boy Parts by Eliza Clark

• The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty (this is Tori's favorite book of all time)
