✨ BOOKSTORE HIGHLIGHT + UPDATES ✨ . If you’re in or near Rock Hill, SC and you haven’t checked out @libertybookco yet, consider this your sign! Not only do they have a fantastic selection of used and new books, but they also carry local authors including *ahem* yours truly! 😌 . And it looks like a few copies of The Last Celestials first edition are still in stock, which leads me to update number 1: the new cover for The Last Celestials is underway! My goal is to reveal it by Valentine’s Day, aka TLC’s second birthday! Fingers crossed! 😀 . Update number two: after taking the holiday season off, I’m finally getting back out to markets! 🙌 I’ll be at @thecommonmarketrockhill TODAY starting at 4:00 along with author @slharby and other local businesses! This is part of the larger First Friday event in Rock Hill, so if you’re nearby, check it out! There’s lots of food trucks! 👀 . A Sea of Worlds is in the first round of revision, and while it’s going slower than I’d like, it is… going! More updates to come! Until then, have a great weekend! ✨ . . . . . #localauthor #indieauthor #localbookstore #indiebookstore #rockhill #rockhillsc #firstfriday #thelibertybookco #thecommonmarket

New Year, Old Coke Machine! We are so tickled to have a gorgeous vintage 1960s Cavalier Coke Machine on site for all of your sugar and caffeine needs. (Machine maintained by the awesome D&D Vending out of Columbia, but I don't think they have an Instagram account!) #haveacoke #vintagecokemachine #helpfulrobot #MascotPecanthonyOfficial #thelibertybookco
Just a friendly reminder that you can only read the bread nutritional info so many times before hysteria sets in. . . Celebrate your weekend without electricity by cozying up with a piping hot stack of whatever it is you read! #southcarolinasnow #wewillrebuild #maybe #precipitationanticipation #thelibertybookco
It's the most wonderful time of the year! You know, the time when it's some other year! Ring in 2022 with a nice, lovely stack of questionable books that you can feel guilty for not reading til February. #merrybookmas #happynewbook #notscrummage #sorrynotyet #libertybookcosale #thelibertybookco

The only thing better than a new copy of The Joy of Cooking is an old copy of The Joy of Cooking. #thejoyofcooking #booksarejoy #culinarycliffnotes #alwayscheckforbatterspatter #thelibertybookco
Well well well... If it isn't the worst gameshow in Instagram history! The rules are simple: pick a bundle, open it, and feel the type of remorse that usually only happens when you get your credit card statement. #bundlemageddon #itsbundletime #theoppositeofabirthday #libertybookbundles #thelibertybookco

We will be closing on Monday, May 31 for Memorial Day! We will reopen Tuesday as usual, probably with sunburns and hazy memories of the weekend. #honorthefallendead #memorialday #decorationday #thelibertybookco
What's a good name for a Monday book cover feature? If we go with "Metal AF Book Cover Monday", this one at least gets a participation trophy. Meet "Acid Trip Sophocles", brought to you by the fine folks at Dell, c. 1965. If you've gotta read Oedipus anyway, may as well enjoy a little art nouveau-inspired nightmare fuel while you're at it. #dellclassics #vintagepaperbacks #thatbeardtho #sophoclescomplex #thelibertybookco
The Bundle Gods heard your pleas... And apparently ignored them, because there are now more than ever. This "collection" is heavy on Suspense, and the kind of bland, forgettable contemporary romance that exists solely to disappoint! #bundlemageddon #libertybookbundles #threedollarsofsuffering #freebundle... #withproofofgooglereview #thelibertybookco
Do you desperately need to add to your book hoard?? GOOD NEWS! We are having our first Spring Book Scrummage tomorrow (Saturday, May 1) at the store!

See you there! #booksale #libertyscrummage #bookstagram #itsagooddayforreaders #thelibertybookco
I'd intended to do a much cooler pic of the vintage Nancy Drews... But they sold. (The nerve of some people, buying books before I can take pictures.) What's your favorite Nancy? Mine shall always be "The Secret in the Old Lace", because it was my first. #nancydrew #drewheads #betterthanhardyboys #illfightaboutit #thelibertybookco
We have had so many people ask about obtaining copies of Dr. Lesslie's books! We had previously sold out of all that we had here, but we have a limited number of copies of Angels in the ER on order. We will be glad to reserve a copy for you (prepaid), first come, first served. We expect the books to arrive in about two weeks, straight from the publisher. #rememberingtheLesslies #angelsintheer #thelibertybookco

We are diversifying our portfolio. 😂 We are still offering porch/curb service on any book purchases, and now, MASKS! These are handmade and pretty darn nice if I do say so. And I do. #justplaguethings #covidchallenge #whynot #thelibertybookco
Governor McMaster's announcement today regarding the temporary closure of non-essential businesses does not include bookstores. Typically, educational material sources are granted exemptions anyway, but we will be monitoring the situation closely. Currently, in compliance with the Governor's mandate, we will continue operations as usual. Please don't hesitate to call us for take-out curb service for your books! We stand together, y'all. Well, 6ft apart, but still together. 💗 #covid19 #businessinatimeofquarantine #wearehereforyou #thelibertybookco
We are saddened to learn of the passing of legendary children's author and illustrator, Tomie dePaola. Perhaps best known for Strega Nona, dePaola wrote over 250(!!!!!) books in his career. 85 years weren't enough. #streganona #tomiedepaola #childrensbooks #libertyremembers #thelibertybookco
In honor of #worldbookday (technically it's just WBD for the UK and Ireland, but I'm always down for a party), enjoy some sassy shots of one of our oldest books in current inventory ! This is a wonderful 1841 edition of Day's Algebra that still contains the original tables. . . . . (See you with another WBD post in a month! April 23 is the more "official" World Book Day... But let's face it. EVERY day is book day in a bookstore.) #bookseses #worldbookday #antiquarianbooks #leatherboundbooks #📚📖 #thelibertybookco
It's Dr. Seuss's birthday today! What's your favorite #seuss? I'm pretty solidly on Team Lorax, but Are You My Mother will always have a special place in my heart. #drseussbirthday #seussday @drseuss #indiebookstore #thelibertybookco

It's time for the semi-annual Rock Hill Ice Capades! This is South Carolina, so it will probably be 90° tomorrow with a chance of hurricanes. Stay safe, and happy snow reading, y'all. #❄️ #FebruaryWonderland #thelibertybookco
This book will knock your socks off. Genesis Begins Again is the debut YA novel by Alicia D. Williams, and she GOES FOR IT in this book. The novel explores everyday life from the perspective of a pre-teen black child who experiences the continual heartbreak of an unstable home life mingled with the social burdens of racism, addiction, and colorism. Genesis' journey of self acceptance is powerful and poignant, and masterfully written. We are thrilled to be partnering with @yorkcountylibrary for an event this SATURDAY at 2:00pm where you can meet @aliciadiane70 and learn more about this incredible book. #shenanigansattheYCL #yaliterature #somanyawards #blackhistorymonth #thelibertybookco
