St. Rita's Amazing Traveling Bookstore @stritasbooks.bsky.social

A bookstore that plies the US selling great used books and encouraging serious conversations. https://travelingbookstore.wordpress.com/

There is a lot going on. Trying to keep a balance and be productive in any way I possibly can.

I tend to dither about posting here. So much going wrong in the country and world, and I keep doing the traveling bookstore thinking maybe some will read a book or have a conversation or get an idea that will help turn the tide. travelingbookstore.wordpress.com/

Did you know there was a video game about a traveling bookstore? That was today’s surprise for me. Just another wonder when set up at the Overlea farmers market.

So glad over 7 million took to the streets. But obviously we still need more.

Maryland Humanities’ One Maryland One Book has “Kin: Rooted in Hope” as the 2025 selection. Great choice! Has so many people discussing the ideas and history. Get a copy. #mdhumanities #OMOB

Lots happening with the traveling bookstore. Fortunately a Portland friend came to visit. We experienced the Maryland Center for History and Culture, and American Visionary Art museum. Protested with a Wednesday group. Made turmeric anthotypes. Photo of part of that process.

All sorts of ways to help- like encouraging people to read with their kids, or grandkids, or neighbor kids.

If you need a break to smile even briefly, letterpress print on bubblewrap and listen to the sounds.

Trying to give perspective to the long bookstore tour while preparing for summer events. And trying to survive the political chaos in the US and not feel daunted. travelingbookstore.wordpress.com/
