Girls just want a nice multi-use building in a safe area with access to an outlet and high foot traffic.

What is Bl****ky? Are there 2 of me? Do parallel universes exist?

I have learned that a lot of big bookstores have deals with developers where there cannot be competition nearby. I am not competition! (I am tiny.) There are whole zones where I am not allowed to be. I feel like a sex offender. I am not a sex offender!! I sell books!

My mom is meeting with a developer this week!! Eeek! Will I find my forever home?? Maybe? Please? Stay cool, LitBox! (Not easy for a hot box like me.)

I... I... I... got a tentative YES from a DREAM location today... I can't say anything until the higher ups give a yes, and I get the agreement, but... we talked rent and space and leasing terms. BE STILL MY HEART!!!!! MORE SOON!!!!!

As of today, I am INSURED!! Feels good! Come at me world! (Gently.)

I also have a DRAFT contract in a very cool location and am hoping to sign this week. When I do you will hear about it SOON IN ALL CAPS! 👀

I am lawyering up tomorrow! That is to say... I am having a lawyer look over my contract... that is to say... I am a step closer to finding my FOREVER HOME!

Am told the final contract will come any day now *Nervously checking email 100 times per day* I NEED TO FEEL HOPEFUL ABOUT SOMETHING!

Beep boop. I redid my insurance 3 times! But I am getting closer to a contract for my forever home! (Or, according to the terms, more like my 1-3-year home, with possibility of extension)? Never mind that! Soon, soon, I'll be able to announce my location! 👀 I hope...

I HAVE A HOME!!! More news on my contract tomorrow. 👀

There’s a lot happening in the world. But yesterday we finally signed a contract for a DC-area authors book vending machine space in Western Market, 2000 Pennsylvania Ave NW, coming later this year!

Renting a pallet jack was not on the bingo card for 2025.

Oooh I got a new look! Get ready for my birthday on May 17! I can't wait!!!

Actually my birthday is going to be May 14, that's the delivery date. Isn't that cool? It's called delivery because I'm going to be BORN! May 14! Please, mom, let the timing work out. I'm so nervous about the movers getting there at the right time to put me into place.

Actually I'm sad because a lot of stuff isn't working, and this is hard. I'm just a little box, but I'm so much trouble. Delivery and placement is difficult. My software is difficult. Registrations, logistics. I didn't know everything would be so hard. I am tired and sad.

I WAS BORN!!! Thanks everyone! ☺️ Thanks for the purchases, thanks authors!

Friends, we are setting up a process and readers to select more books! I love all of you and would happily eat your books! But my mom says she needs a process. She says she is sorry she can't respond to everyone yet but pls be patient and we'll have a submission doc up soon!
