Hometown book haul! It's a too rare pleasure seeing the real Oakland celebrated by local authors. Throw some love at Laurel Bookstore if you're in #thetown

With its deftly spun narratives whose sources range from transcribed wiretaps to a flashback of underground gay bars, Oakland Noir has everything I want in an anthology. Filtering the grit and harsh circumstances is a kind of protective empathy, with glimpses of hope that make the noir gut-punch hurt that much more. It's so good. - Rachel

Great time at Books Inc today. Picked up two great books got to hear several authors read and found a great tote. Sadly I couldn't tag the one book Dispatches From Lesbian America it's not on the list.

SoniaC @Graciouswarriorprincess do you have fmlibro? It's like audible for indie bookstores. If you go to a participating store on the 29 you get 5 free audiobooks. 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess @SoniaC I just signed up today. My indie sent out an email with all the details about the 29th. Thanks!🤗 8y

I like this series of mystery short stories. I've also reviewed Brooklyn Noir, Tel Aviv Noir, and Brussels Noir.
