I loved this collection of essays written by people who just can‘t leave New York....

IamIamIam Hmm, this sounds interesting! I live about an hour outside of the city and in my opinion, it's a great place to visit but I'd never live there!!! Lol 6y

I've shown you a mug, magnet, and tote bag thingy. What? You think I'd leave #TheStrand bookless? Are you out of your mind? ??

Got the one on the left from the gotta-have table, and got the one on the right from the half-off paperback table. Yeah, I had another 20...but my debit card said, "Nuh-uh-uh, cowboy".

Next time...I'm saying yippee-ki-yay to that sucker, 'cause I'll be going in loaded with dough! You'd better come along too. ????

Last year, I bought my sister in law books about serial killers for Christmas. This year, I‘m clearly going for more emotional reads that will make her cry. I like to keep her guessing! 😂 Also, finally got a NEW copy of Wolves after a couple of mishaps, so I‘m very happy these were today‘s #bookmail. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

BookishMarginalia I recommend for next time: 7y
TricksyTails Serial killers for Christmas? 😍 Can you be my sister in law, too? 😆 7y
erinreads @BookishMarginalia She‘s already read it or else I would. I made her add it to her BOTM box after I read it! 7y

It's always a good sign when your nightgown matches your book. Excited to start this one!

A solid read for NYC lifers and transplants alike. Best essays include those by the editor, Roseanne Cash, Julie Klam, Adam Sternbergh, Brian Macaluso, Elizabeth Gilbert, Maris Kreizman, and Adelle Waldman. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all here and I love it anyway.

MrBook Sounds interesting! 😊👍🏻 8y
