Things to know about me: 1) I ❤️ books. 2) I ❤️ dogs. 3) I ❤️ this post! 4) Once when I was walking our dog Banjo, a sweet older couple stopped me and told me they knew Banjo’s father, Chico. Well, we haven’t ever seen them again and since Banjo is a rescue, we have no idea who his biological father is, but I now ❤️ all dogs named Chico! #Repost @pxcaballero Chico is ready for night time reading.

My friend, the amazing YA author Amy Spalding — her next book drops in Spring 2018, THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles) and you should preorder now! — texted me this photo from Once Upon A Time Bookstore in Montrose, CA this weekend. If you zoom in, you can see a Vroman’s bookseller’s review of PIPER PERISH, and why it landed at #7 on the IndiesNext 2017 book list. (Yes, I’m still giddy about it!) So, if you’re looking for a new read for the holidays, or just want to participate in the #CyberMonday madness, go to your friendly #indie bookstore and find something that’s the perfect match for you. Just because #ShopSmall is over, it doesn’t mean you can’t still get big joy from visiting your locals.

My friend, Karen, stopped by her favorite #indiesfirst bookstore, Short Stories Bookstore in Madison, NJ and sent me this snap of PIPER PERISH on their bookshelf, ready to celebrate the holidays with YOU! If you’re shopping #smallbusinesssaturday like I am, what are your favorite stores? Where would you recommend I #shopsmall? I’ll be headed to Chevalier’s Books in Los Angeles, CA, where our winter is about 80 degrees today but I’m going to pretend it’s super chilly instead. 😎 I’m (*fingers crossed*) getting the paperback of Kevin Kwan’s third book in his trilogy — because we’re allowed to treat ourselves too, right? — and a bunch of gifts I can’t share online in case my fam is reading! 😜 Tell me what you’re reading so I can add it to my list. Books I’m loving right now: Louise Erdrich’s FUTURE HOME OF THE LIVING GOD (literary sci-fi/fiction), Action Bronson’s F*CK THAT’S DELICIOUS (cookbook and food memoir), and Robin Benway’s FAR FROM THE TREE (National Book Award Winning YA Lit!) I hope to see you shopping around town and sneak a peak in your shopping bags! #TreatYoSelf #HappyThanksgiving #Thankful #HappyHolidays #HappyHolidaze #MerryChristmas #HappyChanukah #HappyKwanzaa #Books #Book #GiveBooks #ChronicleBooks #YALit #InstaBooks #IGReads #Shopping #piperperish #larchmont #madison #newjersey #losangeles

Okay, I’m about to go hashtag crazy because PIPER PERISH is 69% off at Amazon right now. 🎉🍾💥This means you can get it for a little over $5.00. That’s like a tube of #toothpaste. That’s less than a gallon of #milk! So, buy it for the young adult reader in your life and support my use of crazy hashtags – and if you do buy a copy this week, show me your receipt and I’ll send you a surprise gift! (Maybe pumpkin pie, but probably not!) #BlackFriday #CyberMonday #OnSaleToday #YALit #YABooks #YAFiction #TeenFiction #Art #HighSchool #TeenReads  #Amazon #piperperish #chroniclebooks #strongfemaleprotagonist #Audible #kindle #booksale #book #books #bookstagram #igreads #instabook #instabooks
