From 2018-2021, I blogged regularly for Librarie Drawn & Quarterly, a bookstore in Montrael run by beloved graphic novel publishers Drawn & Quarterly. Bookstores do sell books, so these posts, while often deeply personal, were written in part for promotional purposes. Posts promoting specific events or books published by Drawn & Quarterly are marked with an astersik.
