Quibble’s August Dispatch

Sand, Suspense & Silly Sonnets

Hello, bookish beings! It’s me—Quibble, your literary lemur of leisure—reporting live from a hammock strung between two stacks of twisty tales. August is bursting with bookish brilliance, and I’m here to guide you through every page-turning moment.

Book Lover’s Month: Let’s Get Lit(erary)

August is officially Book Lover’s Month, which means it’s socially acceptable to cancel plans, ignore chores, and read until your eyeballs beg for mercy. Whether you’re devouring fantasy epics or nibbling on cozy mysteries, this is your time to shine. Indies United is celebrating with a cascade of new releases, author spotlights, and enough literary love to make your bookshelf blush.

Beach Reads: SPF 50 & Plot Twists

Beach reads aren’t just for beaches. They’re for porches, poolsides, and anywhere you can sip something cold while escaping into a story. This month, Indies United is serving up cozy mysteries, twisty tales, and laugh-out-loud comedies that pair perfectly with flip-flops and frozen drinks. I recommend reading with one paw in the snack bowl and the other flipping pages.

Mystery Book Month: Suspense Served Cold

August is also Mystery Book Month at Indies United, and the plot thickens! From psychological puzzles to whodunits with heart, our indie authors are spinning tales that’ll keep you guessing long after the last chapter. I’ve already accused three houseplants of murder, and I’m not even halfway through my TBR.

National Bad Poetry Day: Ode to Oddities

Mark your calendars for August 18th—National Bad Poetry Day! It’s the one day a year when rhyming “orange” with “door hinge” is not only allowed, it’s encouraged. I’ll be hosting a dramatic reading of my worst verses, including “Ode to a Lost Bookmark” and “Sonnet for a Cracked Kindle Screen.” Join me in celebrating the glorious mess of imperfect poetry.

So grab your sunhat, your magnifying glass, and your worst rhymes—August at Indies United is a literary rollercoaster, and Quibble’s got the front seat. Until next time, stay curious, stay cozy, and never trust a lemur with a locked drawer.

🖋️ Yours in ink and intrigue,
