Bookstock is back starting this Sunday, April 22nd! Bookstock: Michigan's Biggest Used Book & Media Sale is one of my favorite events. Year after year, I go to Bookstock and find some awesome hidden gems, including books that are like new! I get to fill in my shelves and buy missing books to complete series collections all while spending a few hours talking books with other book nerds. Plus the money from my purchases go towards supporting literacy programs in the Metro Detroit area. It's win-win.
I'll be there early on Sunday morning during the pre-sale. For those of you that plan to attend, I hope to see you there. If you see me (likely in the YA and Fantasy sections), be sure to stop me and say "hi"!
