Bookworm IRL Events in SF & Berkeley

Bookworm is busy in the Bay Area this week! Come say hi at our different events:

Celebrate Indie Bookstore Day in SF (Saturday 4/29)

Bookworm will host a pop-up at Booksmith (1767 Haight St, San Francisco, CA). Come by and say hi! We’ll be giving away (for free!!!) bookworm bookmarks & sticker packs, and we’ll have tons of bookish goodies for sale. Support indie bookstores and make bookworm friends!

Around the Web

📝🐛 word worm: a fellow wormy (@emburack !!) interviewed Judy Blume (!!!!!) about the movie adaptation of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, book bans, and other Blume-centered projects... it sure feels like we’re having a SuperBlume.

🎧🐛 ear worm: HOW did I not know that the song exploder podcast sometimes does book explosions?!? And with our FAV Carmen Maria Machado discussing In the Dream House !! I listened to Machado read the audiobook a few years back, and listening to her talk about it is just as magical/devastating. Check out the full ep here:

Stay tuned for the big announcement! And don’t forget to follow us on social media
