East City Bookshop | 
Second bookshop of this trip, but the first I got a decent photo of! Thanks to @wanderinglynn for the recommendation! I got my dad a birthday present there (then confused him by handing it to him two weeks before his birthday). This is such a sweet shop! Very browsable and super-friendly staff.
I finished 8 out of the 23 prompts for East City Bookshop‘s summer reading challenge. My prize was a grab bag of 3 ARCs:
Oye by Melissa Mogollon
The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle & Flying Club by Helen Simonson
The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created A President by Edward F. O‘Keefe
🎉
East City Bookshop is hosting a virtual author event with Chencia Higgins (Just A Little Kissing Between Friends) & Karmen Lee (The 7-10 Split) & moderated by Adriana Herrera (An Island Princess Starts a Scandal).

For #IndieBookstoreDay, I made a bonus episode of my podcast in which I interviewed my boss, Laurie Gillman, who founded East City Bookshop.
Laurie and I talked about what makes ECB special, her advice for anyone wanting to start a bookshop, and a whole lot more.

pickStruggling to sit and read something? I LOVED dropping in and out of this. It was absolutely the light-hearted, easy read I needed at the beginning of this quarantine.
