Not a single book sold. I'm sure there are many factors for that. Like being Friday and during the day. But most of all, people's general aversion to reading. The people selling pet related trinkets next to me did quite well. I think I'll focus more on the actual city of Chicago where people read.
Anyway, on to the next!
And thank you to everyone who has bought stuff off my wishlists. Gifts have been coming in and the kittens and I are excited! The kitten rooms now have their own TVs for entertainment and socialization, and I'm getting stuff to make me more comfortable. You guys are awesome!
I'm going to post the links in the comments below.

That sucks, not selling any. I know here, people are pretty much buying only what they need to. Lots of people not doing well financially. So many signs of that. Im glad it doesnt seem to have dampened your enthusiasm. Merriest and Peaceful Christmas. Also, Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish friends.
I hear that. And it is expensive, as far as books go.
But it's all a learning curve. I've never been in the children's book industry before. Lol
Keep your head up. Big kitty donation coming your way.
Thank you!
As someone who trades at craft fairs I've done events and sold nothing despite it being busy and others selling lots. I've also done fairs and sold a lot and watched others sell nothing.
Annoyingly it do be like that sometimes.
I’m sorry, that really sucks. It definitely could be timing. I hope things pick up.
You'll sell next time. Life carries on & all the huge amounts of good you do are never diminished.
As long as you're having fun & enjoying your work you are rich beyond measure 😻😻
I’m so sorry about no sales!! I’m going to buy a copy with my next paycheck! ❤️
I just ordered a book! Can’t wait to get it 😻
Aww. This makes me sad. Now I just have to buy one.
Im sure most people are prioritizing holiday purchases for family ,friends and co workers now but sales will pick up after the holidays. Im buying myself one 1/3/26 with my check

darn.... oh well, there's always next time. It could def be the timing, as well as how hard it is to save for such things due to how expensive so many things are nowadays
I once sat at a parking lot thing giving away free books and had very few takers. Everyone was afraid I was selling something. I just wanted to invite them to our all volunteer bookstore!
The farmers market was almost as bad. Being different clientele, they wanted to buy the free books!
Some days you just can’t win.
So, same shit different day? 🤣
I L♥️VE Chicago!
They’re tired.
