Just look my new booksleeve by @LibrarianRyan store😍❤️❤️❤️❤️Beautiful, so practical, high quality! A perfect Christmas gift for a book lover! Thank you so much LibrarianRyan and sorry for buying the sample 😂but I'm so happy that I have it here with me. I will use it right now! It arrived a couples of days ago but I was so busy with the move that I picked it up later.

alisiakae That is beautiful! @LibrarianRyan you make book sleeves? I didn‘t know! I need the link to your store! (edited) 5y
Sace @LibrarianRyan I want the link too! That sleeve is gorgeous! 5y
LibrarianRyan @Sace @4thhouseontheleft They are BookHuggers. They stay on your book as you read. I loaded my shop right before I left for Thanksgiving. I usually mail out the next day (sometimes sooner). https://www.etsy.com/shop/FranklinFixItFactory?ref=search_shop_redirect

LibrarianRyan I'm glad you like it. Someone had to be the first. I love this fabric. It was really hard not to keep one of these for myself. I have some new fabric by the same designer that I can not wait to cut up. but it will not happen until the new year. 5y

At this point I am not really sure whether I'm buying books to read, or just to collect them. I bought another 5 today. 😌

I guess I can claim I'm certified #tsundoku. Haha. I promise on Odin's beard that I'll try to finish y'all (tbr) before I reach 50. 😂 meaning I have 24 years of zeroing my tbr pile. ok full disclosure: every time I finished a book , I add 5 more. So do expect I need more than 24 years to zero it out. 😜

Caroline2 Yep I'm on a book buying ban and trying hard to stick to it! I have shelves full of TBR and now I'm starting to put books on top and it looks so messy! 🙄 so im@not buying any till I at least get the shelves under control!!! on day 10 at the mo....! 😬 7y
litznbooks @Caroline2 ah, I wish I have your self control.😧 7y

While misnamed (should be "how" not why), this is a very interesting exploration of the study of human behavior in stores and how it has informed companies. Underhill is a researcher who compiles his studies in a very readable way. I'm looking forward to looking around more at stores now to see if I can see the practices he describes.

Need to read three chapters of the top for my MBA class and then I get to read some of the bottom two:)

slowreader Loved the book I read it for MBA as well. 8y
BeckyRoy It is very readable. I'm enjoying it. We are skipping around a bit which is working. 8y
