I have so many books on the go. But ever since I came down with a bad cold last week (I‘ve since *almost* recovered), I cannot seem to get back into any of them. I‘ve been struggling with very low energy for the last two days and I haven‘t read at all. 🙄 I have no shortage of books to read at home but was out and about today and decided to visit our local bookstore. Maybe one of these will end my reading slump!🤞🏽

I had to go clothes shopping, which is absolute torture. But Old Navy is next door to Barnes and Noble, so…I feel a tiny bit better now. Also, there seems to be a theme here.

vivastory I recently read an excerpt of the Haynes on LitHub & immediately purchased it! 3y

Tamra I‘d really like to read Pandora‘s Jar! 3y

ravenlee @vivastory @Tamra it‘s been on my radar but I wasn‘t actually looking for it (all I was really looking for was the Post-Roe America 😡), but I stumbled across it and it just fell into my hands! 3y

Tamra @ravenlee lucky you, at least on one count! 3y

My wife was supposed to have her leg cast removed today but it has now been pushed to Tuesday. I was so looking forward to her being fully mobile again, especially as it is a long weekend. So I decided to treat myself.

TrishB That‘s perfectly acceptable. I have The Only Good Indians but have been put off by people saying animal violence! Just a warning. You can let me know! Hope the cast comes off next week 🤞🏻 🤞🏻I‘ve worked 4 12 hour days this week and was given today off for recovery (& cocktails!). (edited) 4y

LeahBergen Lovely treats! 👍🏻 4y

Megabooks So interested to see what you think of Filthy Animals! I hope you and your wife still have a good weekend! 💕 4y

Tamra 👍🏾 I keep seeing We Begin at the End. I‘ll be anxious to see what you think. 4y

MicheleinPhilly @TrishB Very well deserved! I will give Indians a whirl and let you know. It was only $1.99 so if it is too much, it won‘t be a great loss. 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Tamra It‘s one of those books that I keep seeing everywhere and meaning to check out. But then I inevitably forget. 4y

MicheleinPhilly @LeahBergen @Megabooks Now I‘m hoping it rains all weekend so people can‘t set off fireworks. 😈👹 4y

Megabooks Truth! I hope Pickles isn‘t too scared of them. 💜 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Megabooks Pickles doesn‘t even like when someone knocks on the door. 😂 4y

Hooked_on_books They didn‘t sell fireworks here this year. I have no idea why, but I‘m SO glad. I‘m hoping for a relatively quiet 4th. 🤞🏼 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Hooked_on_books Supposedly there are shortages here. 🤞🏼it means a quieter weekend. 4y

eanderson That‘s the way to do it! 😀That stinks that she doesn‘t get her cast off until next week. It will be here quick! 4y

DivineDiana Sorry to hear about her cast and the delay. Almost there. ❤️ 4y

This has been a strange week. My husband‘s grandma passed away so with family coming into town, the polar vortex cancelling some days of work, the funeral, spending time with family, taking my car in to get looked at....it has just been an odd week. My husband suggested today we take a trip to the bookstore to pick out some new reads ❤️

Karisa Books to the rescue! Hang in there. 💗 7y

KristenDuck Retail therapy is the best ❤️ 7y

JoScho Sending love and hoping you find some new reads you will enjoy ❤️ 7y

Coming soon near me - I wonder what this will do to the B&N that's in this same mall? @ramyasbookshelf @Carpool_Librarian

DGRachel 😳 that could prove problematic. 8y

Carpool_Librarian Hey @LauraBeth, you dont happen to be at Glow in the Park tonight? 8y

ramyasbookshelf I was at mall of Georgia this afternoon and saw this!!! It looks like us going to be an Amazon electronics pop up store for kindle etc.. doesn't look like a big space. 8y

LauraBeth @Carpool_Librarian I completely forgot about Glow In The Park tonight (plus, the husband wanted to go to one of the Saturday evening church services my church is having so he can sleep in tomorrow). If you and your family are there - hope that y'all have an awesome time 😀 8y

LauraBeth @ramyasbookshelf oh that's good to hear! They can't close that B&N 😀 8y

LauraBeth @DGRachel crisis averted - it appears they're just selling hardware there 😅 8y

Carpool_Librarian Yep, first time! Seems to be interesting so far. Have a great Easter 🐰🐰🐣🐣 8y

Bookladylinda Oh wow!!!! Where is it going to be??? I hope nothing happens to B&N!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 8y

LauraBeth @Bookladylinda seems like it's downstairs next to Old Navy and all they're doing is selling hardware - so looks like it won't affect B&N 8y

Bookladylinda @LauraBeth Thank you! Good to know!!! 8y

Carpool_Librarian @LauraBeth I like the B&N at The Forum in Peachtree Corners. 8y

LauraBeth @carpool_librarian I ❤️ that B&N over there! That traffic though at Medlock Bridge to get there 🙀 8y

Carpool_Librarian @LauraBeth True, true. 8y

ramyasbookshelf @Carpool_Librarian @LauraBeth that forum b&N is one of my favorites too! 8y
