🎀📚 Let’s fill our feeds with PINK! 📚🎀

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we at @book.stack.collabsandmore are coming together to show our support through our love of books. 💖

🎀 Did you know? Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. This month, our pink stacks are a small way to keep the conversation going, show support for those affected, and honor those we’ve lost. 💗

Grab your favorite pink books, bookmarks, and bookish goodies for a pink-themed photo! Let’s come together with a little creativity and a whole lot of heart. 🎀📚

💗📚💗📚💗📚💗📚💗📚💗

💚 💜 @readersfesthtx RECAP💖 

Y’all, this was my first weekend away from Dorian. Travis, Dorian, and Midna totally held down the fort so I could do my event work. Since I primarily work from home, it was a new experience to pump in a public bathroom during event breaks. Sure, it was in front of strangers, but a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do. 

Right before the start of day 1, I accidentally spilled breast milk all over my shirt. At first, my mind went blank because the early bird shoppers were minutes away from storming the event space, and I was a mess. Serendipitously, @amywvogel appeared in the bathroom and said, “What size shirt?” She came back moments later with one of her merch shirts for me to wear. Lifesaver! Talk about authors supporting authors. 

Major highlight? Meeting @obeytheauthor in person! I already bought two books on her website, so it was so cool to meet her IRL and buy Sista Samurai at the event. Total fangirl moment!

Since we had all weekend to chat with readers, I actually had time to chat with the other authors and vendors. It’s always so delightful to catch up with my Houston friends!

Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I felt the love. Couldn’t have done it without @maincharactermatchmaker. I felt so confident and capable in author mode, but I was SO happy to be home and snuggle with my little family. 

This was a good reminder that I still need to practice/rework my book pitches. At times, I felt too shy, unsure, tired, or long-winded. Some therapeutic journaling is in order, right?

Thank you to everyone who chatted with me and bought books. You’re the reason why I do what I do!
