This is the single most important thing I’ve ever babbled about on the internet.

My incredible partner Tanner is opening a book store here in Chicago. This is their dream, and what we’ve dedicated the last 7 months of our lives to work towards. He quit his job, he sold the proverbial farm, and we are ready to open Uncharted Books very soon—

but not without help from our friends and our communities. 

Tanner has launched a Kickstarter and we are looking for people to invest to help turn the perfect location in the heart of Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood from

into a haven for writers, readers, and nerds without refuge.

I know times are tough, I am acutely and personally aware of this fact, so please know that your investment means the world to me and to Tanner and to our future.  Your investment, also, is just that: an investment.  It comes with a reward.  Things like lifetime discounts, free books, swag, and invitations to our investor-only preview party.

Please check out our kickstarter page at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1945935286/uncharted-books to see all of the cool rewards and read more about the store Tanner is trying to build.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this and please, please, reblog.
