Recently we had a customer come into the shop and tell us that if we didn't begin using this new tool, we would go out of business while other bookstores raced ahead into the future. But what's the true cost of using AI when it comes to creative endeavors? And can we still run businesses and make a living without it, or will those of us who decide against using it fall by the wayside?

We also talk about the upcoming Indie Bookstore Day, the cost of not shopping local, and, as usual, the books we've recently finished or are currently reading. 

Books mentioned during the conversation:

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
Bossy Pants by Tina Fey
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
North Woods by Daniel Mason
Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
Here One Moment by Leanne Moriarty
