POSTS STORIES REELS

A little bit about me, the one woman show behind Distant Lands! (I’m still not used to using the word owner?)

One of the things I look forward to the most is being able to nerd out over shared interests with people who visit my booth/store in the future ❤️ by @distantlandsbooks

😮‍💨 I’ve been the busiest bee behind the scenes, but we’re finally on bookshop.org! Our link is in our bio and you can use that as an alternative way to support the store/spread the love between us and other indie bookstores you love. by @distantlandsbooks

Thank you so much to everyone that came out to celebrate the release of A Court of Splintered Harmony! We had a blast chatting with everyone, hearing discussions about the books and sharing in our love of all things ACOTAR!

Huge thank you to @altbarroc for hosting and providing a stellar drink menu and a beautiful charcuterie spread, @catscoventattoos for providing bookish flash and @wren.readstarot for providing readings for our guests! by @distantlandsbooks

Check out this lineup—and clear some space on your bookshelf! 📚 Sunday’s Novel Affair Book Fair is almost here, and we’ve got a full house at @artisanworksny.

Spend the afternoon chatting with authors about their books, browsing EIGHT pop-up booksellers, and shopping local artists who share your book obsession.

Grab a coffee from @bewitchedcoffeeco and make an afternoon of it. Bookish shopping continues between bites and drinks from @madelinescatering, and you can even get a @sistervulturetattoo flash tattoo while you’re here!

Send this to your book club, grab your biggest tote, and we’ll see you Sunday. 🧡

This is my promotional post to say you should stop in to buy some books, records or movies on this fine fall day! by @distantlandsbooks

Store is closing early at 2ish today! Find us at the WAYO Fundraiser at Radio Social instead!!! by @distantlandsbooks

Trying out something different. Normally I am hosting record fairs but I’ve wanted to expand to promote other media as well. So here it is. We already have a solid list of vendors but please get in touch if you’d like to participate. #rochestermediafair by @distantlandsbooks
