This is one of those rare Saturdays where I don’t know when I can assemble the Miscellany for the day, but it is coming.
One of the reasons that I’ll be away from my keyboard is that it’s the last Saturday in April–known to many of us as Independent Bookstore Day. This is the 12th of these events, and I’m willing to bet that one near you is celebrating (it’s one of the bigger sales days for them–so I think they’ll be celebrating in more than one sense).

If you can’t make it outside (which is understandable and relatable)–head over to bookshop.org, where a portion of the sales go to a bookstore of your choice. I typically suggest using my affilate site, but today, I urge you to pick your favorite local store (or, you can go with Shared Stories if you wanted to help mine if you don’t have one). Also, they apparently have free shipping this weekend!
