@hco96 @jhaubner2 @AvidReaderPress Just DMed you! :) -Janet G.

[Avid Bookshop @AvidBookshop]

@hco96 @jhaubner2 @AvidReaderPress I was there Jan-May, shortly before the economic collapse! Our professors taught us about “the disappeared” and, at 20-going-on-21, I was shocked at the idea that children could just be taken. I was still v naïve/sheltered & couldn’t believe that could have happened so recently.

Your purchases over the next week will sustain our payroll for the first several weeks of 2024—shopping here vs. a chain has a direct impact on the humans who work @ Avid (including me!).

Thank you for supporting little shops like mine.
❤️,
