What a lineup this week, if I say so myself 🤭

I have been working hard to get new books and restock accessories for this week so stop any or all if you can!

Tomorrow, 6-10 pm at 18 Flint St, I’ll be at the Rochester Night Market! If you have seen me there before, I won’t be in my usual spot but instead outside in a tent, so definitely be sure to keep your eyes peeled for me!

Wednesday, I’ll be back at the Midday Bash at Parcel 5 from 11:30 am until 1:30. Need a book to read on your lunch break? Good thing I have plenty to browse through!

Then this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, I’ll be out in Brockport for the Arts Festival. I’m at Booth 38 between the Lift Bridge and Water Street! I’ll only be bringing book accessories and mystery date books and bundles this weekend!

Hope to see your lovely faces soon! (As I saw so many this past weekend and my heart was so happy!)

Since there are almost a thousand of fellow book lovers here, I thought I should do an introduction post! (Cause I haven’t done one yet 😬)

My name is Kimberly (she/her/hers pronouns) and I’m the owner of My Bookery ROC! Three truths about me: I LOVE dogs; my favorite types of books to read are romances; and I love listening to music or audiobooks while I’m out on a run. The one reason I am able to do what I am: YOU! So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I founded my used pop-up bookshop back in June 2023 and had my first event in September. Since then, My Bookery ROC has grown from only selling books, series/author bundles, and mystery dates with a book to adding a variety of bookish accessories! I’m so proud to say that all the accessories are either handmade by me or made by fellow local artists and businesses! There are so many talented people in our community, people I am honored to have said yes to all my wide bookish ideas. Working with fellow artisans has been such a highlight to my experience and bookstore-owning journey; words cannot express how thankful I am for all their talents!

The reason you see my past couple months BOOKED with events: cause I made the decision to pursue this business full time back in May. It was scary and exhilarating and all the emotions. But the continuous support from my friends, family, fellow book lovers, and local businesses reassures me that I’m following the right path and we can do the **** thing!

Having a physical bookstore of my own would be amazing—definitely is the dream. For now, I’ll be everywhere in the Rochester and surrounding areas including Buffalo and soon Ithaca, New York!

Please enjoy some evolution photos from when I first started to now. What a change!

If you’re stopping by during Pride Fest, make sure you pick up a Gay Way genre sign and hold it up to the light! Look at the cool patterns 😍

Shoutout to @bryces3dprints for making these signs have an extra special pop! And to @lifewithaleigh for her video editing magic (cause you know this is too advanced for me 😝)

Pride Fest at Highland Park Saturday July 19th from 11 am until 6 pm!

Video description:
The screen is broken up into three sections. The top is a pink genre sign that reads Gay Way with circles patterns shown in the sunlight. The middle is a blue sign that reads Gay Way and has puzzle patterns shown. The bottom is a yellow sign that reads Gay Way with lightning-type pattern shown.

Hi friends and book lovers! Long post ahead about some big(ish) changes:

As I have said before, being a disabled-owned bookstore, I try to make all my decisions based in disability-advocacy and accessibility. Some choices are apparent, others not. With this most recent one, I wanted to be transparent with the people who have supported my business and helped me grow over the past two years.

With my other disabilities, I’ve had years of diagnosis and experience with to accommodate my every day life. They don’t phase me as I know what to do to survive in the world. Lately, however, I’ve been having mobility difficulties in my hands. Some days are better, some days are worse. It’s a new experience that I’m trying to learn about how to best take care of myself and to not cause permanent damage.

If you have purchased a mystery date with a book from me, you know that I handwrite all my dates. I take pride in it and even feel moments of glee when you compliment on how nice my handwriting looks (take that sister! She says it looks like chicken-scratch). Because of the kind comments, I have pushed and pushed for too long to not do anything but handwrite on all my mystery dates. I feel like I’m adding my personal touch to each one by physically writing the three truths out. But my decision to handwrite them all is also what is causing my hand mobility to worsen some days.

To not damage my hand, however, I need to make the shift from handwriting only to typing out my Three Truths and One Line. Trust me, I’m mourning over the change (cause it’s change and I don’t do well with that a lot of time). Not to fret because my humor and silliness will still come out in my mystery dates!! I just hope that you all will still love my mystery dates now as you have loved them before.

This is to not say that I won’t still write on them! All wholesale, online, custom orders will be handwritten! I’m not giving it up completely, but merely trying to accommodate my health and my business needs. I hope you can understand and I thank you for reading my long post ❤️
