If you are free today and in the Greater Seattle Area, check out the Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine at Mixed Coffee and Community. We think it's terrific, but don't take our word for it (in our best @LeVarBurton voice).

Tara D Gilbert of Rumors of Writing and the team behind Hue Of You loved checking out the machine!

You can visit the Mixed Coffee and Community at 800 164th St SE Unit N, Mill Creek, WA 98012 TODAY until 4PM

Reposted @hue.of.you Stopped by @mixedcoffeeshop yesterday and attacked the @SistahScifi Book Vending Machine. I got The Memory Librarian by @JanelleMonae for Malachi, My Rainy Day Rocketship by @markettesheppard for my nephew and, To Bold Go by @AngelaDalton_Author for my personal shrine to bad ass women and the characters they played.

If you’re near Mill Creak today, swing by!!! Grab some coffee, some books and some art from @hue.of.you Hue-tique at Mixed Coffee and Community!

❤️☕️❤️📚❤️🎨

Reposted @rumorsofwriting I think every coffee shop should have a Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine. A little birdie told me about @mixedcoffeeshop - a great place to grab a cup of coffee and a book.

I picked out "Speculation" by @nisi_shawl.

"Speculation" was a fun middle grade read - loved the concept of glasses giving one magical powers. Also, enjoyed the Southern world Shawl described. Reminded me of some of the stories I've heard from my Southern friends.

For the last day of Black History // Black Future Month, Sistah Scifi is highlighting Nubia: The Awakening. Nubia is an Afrofuturist, YA science fiction novel by @clarenceahaynes and @omarepps that weaves in the themes of climate change, class division, and references West and Southern African cultural traditions. Clarence A. Haynes says, "Nubia is oriented towards Black Futures, offering a fantastic take on how our world could evolve, keeping in mind things like climate change and tech innovations." In this clip, the authors discuss the research that went into developing the world of the Nubian cultural enclave nestled in the New York borough of Manhattan in the year 2098. Check out the full clip on our Instagram page @sistahscifi🔥. Get your copy of Nubia: The Awakening signed by Omar Epps at Sistah Scifi's @instagram, @facebook, @twitter, @tiktok, or @shopify shop. Please note orders including this title will ship March 15! Nubia will also be available at the Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine at @MixedCoffeeShop and @BlackCoffeeNw starting Friday March 3rd. Audiobook available on @librofm. Better yet, check Nubia out from your local #library!!!

Have you visited one of the Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machines yet?

Visit one of these three locations!

Northwest African American Museum (NAAM)

📍2300 S Massachusetts St Seattle, WA 98144

💜 NAAM envisions a Pacific Northwest region where the important histories, arts, and cultures of people of African descent are embraced as an essential part of our shared heritage and future. Currently, NAAM's Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine offers Bitter Root by @DavidF.Walker!

Distant Worlds Coffee

📍6401 Roosevelt Way NE Seattle, WA 98115

🖤 In the heart of the Roosevelt neighborhood, Distant Worlds serves as meeting place and gathering grounds for geeks of all stripes. Our community is fueled by coffee or tea, our selection of house made pastries, our vegetarian and vegan sandwiches, WiFi, and each other. We can’t wait to welcome you in for your next Dungeons and Dragons session, meet up with friends, or chill study group. Currently, the Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine offers @CoyoteandCrowGames!!!!

Chapter 510 & Dept of Make/Believe

📍546 9th Street Oakland, CA

💜 Chapter 510 is a made-in-Oakland youth writing, bookmaking & publishing center. Our teaching artists and volunteers work side by side with educators to provide a safe space and supportive community so Black, brown, and queer youth ages 8-19 can bravely write. We believe that writing is an act of liberation. Young people transform themselves and their communities when they write and get published, succeeding in work, school, and life. Featured books are To Boldly Go by @AngelaDalton_author and Mae Among the Stars by Roda Ahmed.

Check out the selection of Science Fiction & Fantasy titles by Black and Indigenous authors in our Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machines and snap a pic! Tag us in your post, and we will repost it to our stories!

Yea!! So happy you got to check out the Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machine. These pictures are gorgeous!! Your selfie game is top notch, or your family is full of talented photographers!!

Reposted @whenreadingattacks Finally made it to @oaklandiacafexbakery to grab some lunch and check out their @sistahscifi book vending machine!

To say I was *delighted* is an understatement. I'm gonna need a book vending machine in every corner 👀

The food was really good too. I visited with my family and we had a tasty lunch + they were super helpful. Great place to get some work done. Check it out if you're in the DY Oakland. Oaklandia is open M to F 7AM to 4PM.

Image description. 1 The Oaklandia Cafe and Bakery storefront. Glass doors, glass windows, one of which with a poster talking about the generations of Oaklandians to run the cafe. 2-3 Kris sitting at one of the work tables looking at books wrapped in plastic fresh out the vending machine. 4 Kris standing in front of the vending machine. It's blueish purple. So many cool science fiction books inside. The Sistah Sci Fi website and logo at the top and at the dispenser. 5 The vending machine in action. Kris pulling out a copy of Symbiosis by @NickyDrayden from the dispenser and feeling joy.
