Fiercely independent bookstore in Cambridge and Boston, MA
@portersqbooks.bsky.socialWe've added three more Your Own Private Bookstore events in November! A YOPB gets you and few friends and family the store to yourself for an hour after we close. It's a great party. Also, a great way to get a ton of holiday shopping done. Available dates here: portersquarebooks.com/events/tags/...

@portersqbooks.bsky.socialThis is the way.
@portersqbooks.bsky.socialThere SEEMS to be a get-to-know-you-better-through-books date happening at the moment and they're both holding stacks of books so it must be going well!!!!!
@portersqbooks.bsky.socialReposted by @portersqbooks.bsky.socialThere is something a bit magical about a book recommendation, right? You chat with a bookseller for a minute & get back a stack of books each perfect in their own way for who you are right now. If you can't visit us in person, order a little of that magic in with a Blind Date with a Book #BookSky
@portersqbooks.bsky.socialIn the checkout you can tell us a little bit about who you are as a reader & what you're looking for in a book & the libromancers in the store will have at it! And then in some number of days you'll pick up or get in the mail a present from yourself that's also a surprise. See? A bit of magic.

@katzish.bsky.socialReposted by @portersqbooks.bsky.socialThis was my reaction too and I don't even know whether the "we" is humanists, women, people with the ability to read, Canadians, fans of Sappho, fans of Emily Dickinson, translators, classicists, or people who appreciate the feelings of sad red monsters. Either way, yes
