When you stepped into Gene‘s Books on Sanibel Island, you knew it was something special. This picture is from their Facebook post today. Devastating 😞

rretzler Jaws and Lucky You. Lucky You was plastered all over the NYC subway when it came out, so my husband and I bought it. Neither of us cared much for it and it‘s been a joke between us ever since. Hope you enjoy it more than we did. 5y
Gina This was a good read for summer 5y

Mehso-so

Meh. I may read more of this series, then again...there are other books on my TBR patiently waiting to be read. Doc Ford investigates the apparent death of his friend and neighbor, Rafe Hollins. But was it Rafe who died, or someone else? Fairly good, except for the gratuitous sex involving Doc Ford and two women he barely knows.

A crazy little bookstore on Sanibel Island, Gene‘s, is a hoarder‘s dream and the books are priced to sell. The books wind through a main shop, little buildings, on a porch, in the bathroom...A couple little shacks say “adults only!” But not erotica as one might expect, the stacks of books are just too precarious for kids😳

Amiable This picture is exactly how I envision heaven will look like. 😍 5y
peaKnit @Amiable that‘s so funny! It‘s exactly what I told a fellow patron in the shop yesterday😂❤️ 5y
Amiable Great book minds think alike! 😀 5y

Today‘s bookish moment: We visited a restaurant by the water with amazing food. Okay, but what‘s bookish about it? One of the owners is an author, so they have bookmarks and books available. I decided to look on GR, because I‘m skeptical like that. The books look as well-rated as the food. Might just dive in soon! #docford #sanibelisland #vacationfun

Leftcoastzen You know what ? I had a friend who really loved his books. I have not tried one yet. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Leftcoastzen I‘m sort of regretting not buying one there. But we were packing light and I got the stink eye from Mr. B about the one book I did buy. Hello, Thriftbooks! 😎 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @emilyhaldi @mrp27 @SandyW It was fun! Now we‘re back home in the freezing rain. Ugh. 6y

Having a great week on Sanibel Island. I'm getting a lot of reading time, but loving our beach time, which includes lots of birds. This egret has been hanging out with us.

Laura317 I've heard that seashell hunting is wonderful there. True? 7y
saresmoore Lovely! 7y
Cinfhen Beautiful 💕 7y
Lynnsoprano @laura317 True. Where we are on the island is not the best shelling beach, but we have literally hundreds, of not thousands, of shells we have collected here over the years. 7y

I haven't read this, and generally don't go for this genre, but I might pick it up just bc its set on Sanibel Island, which is one of the beaches I went to on a regular basis when I was a kid (it was nearby- I never knew it was special until I moved far away to NC). #SeasonsReadings2016 #SetOnAnIsland @RealLifeReading

saresmoore Sanibel is special! 7y

I grew up in Fort Myers and I passionately love Sanibel Island; therefore I naturally love the Doc Ford books which are set on Sanibel Island. (Hoping the Gulf of Mexico counts as the sea.) #booksbythesea #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
