Happy Tuesday!

Very random, but I was today years old when I realized that our Bookum "B" looks very similar to the New York Subway B-Line.

Probably a meme here, but like a good train ride, let's keep moving!

On Today's Shelf:

• 📚 New Feature: VIDEO!

This Week in The Book World:

If you know us, you know we love two things:

Books and Bookish Content Creators.

So, we are excited to spotlight that on Saturday, Steamy Lit Bookstore officially opened in Florida!

Steamy Lit is owned by Bookish content creator Melissa Saavedra (probably best known for her internet-breaking SteamyLitCon last year).

In just 4 short years, Mel has taken the book world by storm with her love of steamy romance and self-love.

Mel is a great example of the power of the book community and the support of its creators!

You can support Mel's bookstore here: https://www.steamylit.com/shop
