Friends: Last weekend, we had a blast hiding some books in partnership with our friends at the Tucson Spotlight! We hid 4 copies of each of the following 3 books to help build some hype up for the Tucson Festival of Books (all three of these authors will be joining us at the festival, so if you found a book, bring it to the festival and get it signed!):

• “The Incendiaries” by R.O. Kwon
• “Something That May Shock and Discredit You” by Daniel Lavery
• “The Kindest Lie” by Nancy Johnson

We are very grateful to the Tucson Spotlight for sponsoring this extra-special book-hiding adventure and helping us promote a few of our Festival authors!

BUT DON’T FORGET: THE FUN ISN’T OVER YET! We have so many more upcoming events!

This Sunday, March 9, we’re collaborating with our friends at Trail Dust Town to hide some books around their Wizarding Out West event! We love and appreciate Trail Dust Town – and are incredibly grateful that they are so supportive of our mission to share stories by underrepresented authors ❤ You can learn more about the event and buy tickets here:

Finally, congratulations are in order for ALL of you who donated to our 2025 fundraiser! As we announced a few weeks ago, we met our 2025 fundraising goal! Woohoo! And as promised, we selected our three raffle winners ❤ As you may recall, anyone who donated $100 or more to our 2025 fundraising campaign was entered into a raffle to win a bag of bookish Tome Gnome goodies. So… big congratulations to Ashley H, Cynthia L, and Anna Y for winning these little Tome Gnome goodie bags!!!😍

Each gift set included a Tome Gnome tote, a Tome Gnome button, two stickers, and two signed books from TJ Klune!!! Congratulations, winners!
