Thank you for your continued patience and support, and we hope the finished product is worth the wait💛

Collected Narratives update: we're expecting to get books printed by the end of January, with shipping likely happening mid-February. I'm very sorry for the delay in getting this work out, as 2023 was a difficult year for us, but we're hoping to hit the ground running for 2024.

[Sapphic Sweets & Reads ICT @SweetReadsICT]

Now rolling out on our store: collection bundles! If you purchase a whole series, enjoy a solid discount on your order🧡

Additionally: we'll be at Wichita's TsunamiCon on Oct 20-22 if you'd like to say hi in-person!

Apologies for the recent radio silence - things have been very busy and complicated here, as we're in our last year of university and Alex has started a day job again. We're getting caught up on outstanding orders this morning!

[Sapphic Sweets & Reads ICT @SweetReadsICT]

We're hoping to have Collected Narratives ready to print by next week and apologize for the delay on fulfilling the book, but we hope it's worth the wait for everyone.🧡

If you're thinking "well physical books are all well and good but I'm more of an auditory sort of queer myself," good news there as well! We are now officially at https://t.co/x2R1hilqC5! When you select us as your bookstore, the money you spend on audio books comes back to us ^^

Keep an eye out for more news as well! While things are slow after Pride, we have a lot of projects in the work, including Alex's new book releasing on the 21st, collaborating with Wichita's own Positive Directions, and pre-ordering pride dice for all your queer tabletop needs!

We're at HIV Testing Day @ MCare! Positive Directions is providing free HIV tests for the community, with vendors around for folks to check out. This is our first 'virtual event', so we have display stock but all sales will be shipped or picked up with a 5% discount on all stock!

We're at ICT QueerFest! Beautiful day, music, and a bunch of local artists at the chainlink gallery. Come by and say hi ^^

[Sapphic Sweets & Reads ICT @SweetReadsICT]

This includes folks in surrounding states! We'll be heading to Nebraska in August for the first time; we're happy to make trips out of our city, though obviously additional logistical concerns apply that we'd need to discuss. Would love to meet folks out on the road all the same!

The store had a very successful day at the ICT Big Gay Market! Thank you all who came out and said hi to us ^^

It's here! We're at the third ICT big gay market with as much stock as we could fit into our vehicle! Come by 11th and Biting in Riverside and check us out ^^
