Update 3/23/26: WOW everyone has been so kind! We were able to get our ABA membership, including our GLIBA membership (regional), and I'm waiting on the affidavit for our sole proprietorship certificate! Our next plan is to register for an LLC ($150) per advice from those with small businesses of their own. Our website did have listings on it for a period of time, but due to financial constraints, we've had to deactivate our website listings. But everything is going on PangoBooks instead! They handle the shipping costs which works out much better for us. We have bookmarks and stickers now, and will be restocking soon! We'll also be getting tote bags in soon, so please spread the word if you can. We appreciate everything that everyone has done so far and hope you'll still around with us as we continue to grow!

Update 2/5/26: WOW we're so close to the initial goal! So I'm going to share a bit of the plans with you guys. Our plan is to get a website up once we've gotten the Bookshop.org stuff done, and then I'm leaving this up to help people contribute if they want to helping us open a brick and mortar location! Our plan is to save everything we earn from Bookshop.org and merch sales (bookmarks, stickers, and tote bags though totes are a maybe) to open a shop within 3-5 years. Every share matters, so please share this with your friends! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. :)

Update 2/5/26: WOW WOW WOW, thank you to our anonymous donor for their enormous contribution as well as our other contributors as well! All contributors get a branded bookmark printed and hand-cut by me, so please if you feel comfortable, share you address via DM on Instagram! I'm going to be sharing our long term goals with everyone on the Instagram acccount (@twostoriesbookshop) so stay tuned there!
