Does your truck have any children’s or middle grade books? I just imagine being a kid and buying a book from a beautiful, kitschy, little truck being the most magical memory 📖✨ especially when the lady selling the books stamps it with her cute bird house stamp!

Hey Ariel! I also have a small business that sells products at markets. We’ve been at it for almost a year and one thing I’ve learned is that you never really know what your customers are gonna like! Sure you have some products that always sell well, but some times you have shows where you sell out of a certain product so then you stock up on on that product and suddenly no one wants to buy it anymore. It’s always a toss up 😂 I’m so excited to see your book truck journey!!!

Here is an idea for you; it would take a lot of collaboration with the other bookstores in Nova Scotia, BUT if you had a little passport and each bookshop had a little stamp, a customer could come with their little passport and get it stamped when they visit each bookshop. Or maybe a sticker if they don't all want to invest in a stamp (but they should, stamps are cool).

I remember Ariel mentioned possibly reading Chlorine by Jade Song, I just wanted to let her know I personally LOVED it but I feel like it being advertised as horror leads to people being disappointed. I would call it a litfic/ coming of age and it’s VERY raw and uncomfortable, you definitely have to be in the right headspace to read it. But lord I loved it. I don’t think it was intended to be, but it really rang true to my experience as a trans person with dysphoria too. Just wanted to yap about that book

For a sci-fi with a strong female character, I enjoyed The Emissary by indie author Michael J Edwards. A flawed but badass young woman is chosen by an alien entity to facilitate an escape for a fraction of humanity from a doomed Earth. It’s a nice mix of action with philosophical and political elements. Who should be chosen for the rescue? How will world leaders respond to the news that Earth is doomed?

I think it's cool to put yourself on the website for bookshops, but maybe be careful to make it clear that this is your own bookshop (on your own website). I feel like sometimes I come across posts like this where someone is listing best computers or whatever and then one of the options is what they sell, and they sorta try to convince you to get that one while at the same time trying to hide that it's their product/store and that feels sorta icky. Personally (as a consumer), I would much prefer to have a massive banner saying "by the way, this is mine, I made it with love, come visit!" because then I'm not second-guessing the intention of the person who made the page/website and I can relax that they're not underselling other stores to try to get me to come to theirs.
