Signing off with Phoenix Books

It’s been an incredible two years getting to work at the forefront of the social media marketing & bookselling at Phoenix Books right in the heart of downtown Burlington.

Getting to shape our story and showcase what is so great about our community & bookselling staff has been rewarding and something I am really proud of.

I’ve taken hundreds of photos so it was difficult to narrow down but here are some of my favorite photos of our booksellers & authors:

Ali, Christy, Coco, Jenna, Christy & Sofie, and Katherine Arden.

I’m going to miss sharing all the wonderful bookselling moments and behind the scenes of the store with you all!

#TheSealeyChallenge 1/31

A magical book by a favorite person to start off this year’s Sealey Challenge — marmalade by ali lanzetta made my heart fizz, made my word-nerd soul sparkle, & made me cry a continuum of tears (all the 💧flavors, especially at the end❣️).

If you’re lucky enough to be in @ali.lanzetta’s neck of the woods August 8th, (I’m jealous of you &) you can attend her book launch party at @phoenixbooksvt!!!

MARMALADE by Ali Lanzetta

“Reading ali lanzetta is like running wild all summer with someone you share a secret language with. Her writing is playful, soulful, profuse, and altogether alive. It’s the work of someone who’s made up her mind that you two are going to be great friends.”
Mike DeCapite, author of Jacket Weather
