Yesterday Is History | Kosoko Jackson

Saturday was a LONG day. I was working #Penguicon near Detroit, but drove home to Toledo to go to the NW Ohio Teen Book Festival where I met Kosoko Jackson, Derf Backderf, Mindy McGinnis, and Kit Frick. Then I drove BACK to Detroit to finish out the show... where I accidentally met Claire Winn.

I'm not sure I've ever been this tired in my life. 😅

DivineDiana Quite an exhausting schedule, but at least there were books! And authors! 👏🏻📚👏🏻 2y

With show season starting up again we decided to make a showpiece book... this baby weighs 9 pounds and includes everything Shakespeare ever published. That's a standard dinner fork for size comparison. I'm not sure yet if it'll be a standard item we continue to make, or if it'll be a one of. It used SO MUCH LEATHER. 😅 I'm really happy with how the cover turned out.

ravenlee That looks amazing! By the way, I ordered one of your small notebooks for my friend‘s birthday (and it got there SOOO fast because I didn‘t realize you were in the same city!) and she LOVES it. Thank you! 2y
GondorGirl @ravenlee Thank you so much! I'm glad she likes it. 🥰 2y

Inventory day for #Studio42Books which means time for audiobooks. We just found out this morning that we'll be vending at #Penguicon next month, which means we need to spend some time restocking a bunch of our smaller items. I'll probably be making nothing but buttons and magnets for the next few weeks. Weeeee 🤪

AmyG On my phone….I thought these were cookies! 2y
GondorGirl @AmyG I wish I had that many cookies! 😁 2y
robinb I thought the same thing @AmyG ! 😂😂 2y

#Penguicon day three. I was chatting with a lady in an awesome cat sweater and she turned out to be the author of this cozy mystery series. It was described to me as a cozy magical mystery, focusing on cat lore, with an older female protagonist. Yes, please!

She was nice enough to sign a copy for me. 😻
(The tagged book is not the first in the series.)

BlameJennyJane That series has super cool covers! I love meeting authors. 5y
Zelma I love that cover! So different than most cozy mysteries. 😍 5y
tpixie @Zelma yes! The cover is great! I tend to not like the covers of cozy mysteries. 2y

#Studio42 is set up at #Penguicon in Deerborn, Michigan this weekend. Time to sell leather book covers to the nerds! ❤🐧❤

BibliOphelia Ok, we‘re newly connected, but when I read that you went to cons and sold leather goods, this was NOT what I imagined! 😳😂🤣 5y
GondorGirl @BibliOphelia This is my personal business, which is mostly bookish. My day job is actually mostly costume stuff, though we also do a bit of THAT kind of leather. 😂 5y
BibliOphelia Oh, ok! So I wasn‘t tooooo far off! TBF I was thinking mostly costume stuff. I love the look of your book covers! Do you hand cut and hand tool them? 5y

GondorGirl @BibliOphelia They're hand cut, stained, and assembled... but I use a laser to put the designs on, because ther price I'd have to charge for hand tooling would kill my sales. 5y
BibliOphelia That makes total sense. All very cool! 😍 5y
tpixie @BibliOphelia this is so cool! Hope you are having good luck this weekend! 2y
