One small step for man

July 20, 2016/ Sarah Wesberry

On this day in 1969, a man walked on the moon. 

Now we are at a point in time where lots of things seem big and hard and complicated, but let's remember that we can do hard things.  Maybe it's baby steps, but we can move one small step towards that elusive giant leap, and it is still progress.  Let's at least try.

Thank you!
We’re getting ready for Indie Bookstore Day this Saturday! 🎉
We’ll be open all day 9am-10pm.
💚
We’ll have storytime at 10:30am for the littles, and with a stamp on their hand, they get a free treat from @thechocolatemoosesc. 🎉
We’ll have a pop up shop from 9:30-noon with our friends at @mercyveritycandles, and at 7pm we’ll hear from local author Joseph Robinson about his time playing oboe in symphonies from here to NYC, and the story behind the story in his memoir LONG WINDED. 📚
The thing is, this Saturday is pretty much like every Saturday at M. Judson. Because we’re your local independent bookstore, and we’re celebrating that every single day. 🎉

🌟HERE IS MY NEWS!!!!🌟 For years I’ve wanted to start taking map commissions, and I’m finally doing it!! Who doesn’t love a good book map? I’m obsessed with mapmaking and am so excited to help other writers bring their worlds to life. Maps make wonderful swag for authors to give away, and I also offer concept work to create simple maps for your own personal reference if you just need something to glance at while you write. (Note: Due to my writing schedule, commission slots will be LIMITED.) In addition, from time to time I’ll post “#Mapadoptables,” which are unique, unnamed worlds created by me. Claim one, and it’ll be YOURS to populate with stories and characters however you like. (See the final map in this slideshow for an example!) More on that soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, SWIPE ➡️➡️➡️ to see some of my maps and visit JessicaKhoury.com to find out more (like where the name Lizard Ink comes from!) ❤️❤️❤️ EEEEEEEP!!! 😅
Dave Eggers does this great, great thing: he entertains readers of all ages. With his new middle grade novel THE LIFTERS, prepare for a seriously great underground, secret-cavern, magical adventure. It reminds us of The Goonies not a little. #mjudsonbooks #staffpicks #thelifters
This Sunday! Make sure you come see us, teachers and median specialists. We’ll have snacks, bubbles, treats and a great big ole discount for you all day. Tag your teacher friends! #mjudsonbooks #educatorappreciationday #weloveteachers
