I started reading this memoir, again. My second time reading this. Or is it a third time? 🤔 Anyway, I enjoy this author's take on books and bookstores.

Well this is unfortunate. Looks like pgs.197-198 got caught in a machine at some point.
Picked up my order at River City Books in Soldotna, Alaska. Got “trapped” inside the bookstore by a mama moose and her twins munching on the plants right outside the door. (Is it really “trapped” when it‘s a bookstore? 🤣). I hope to start it tonight.
Went to the used bookstore yesterday to drop off some books and Jace insisted on coming with to see Willa, the bookstore kitty. Willa is so chill and laid back. All of my favorite things in one place!
My favorite things —
books and cats and cats and books,
and this little guy.

pickI must confess, I borrowed this from Libby under the impression that it was going to be a cozy fantasy novel (I was looking for Isabelle Nagg and the pot of basil) BUT in some respects this worked out very well because this was completely delightful and I probably would have passed it by if I‘d stopped to read the blurb.
This is a collection of anecdotes from Oliver‘s time working as a antiquarian bookseller in London.
I received my first #SummerCardSwap from @BkClubCare ! ☺️
I‘ve participated in some other card and book(ish) swaps. I try to check @LitsyEvents every month, so I can spot any readalongs I want to participate in or other swaps to sign up for. lol I too do extra stuff on work time! Can‘t say I have any summer titles in mind. Yes, this year I started participating in the #ReadYourKindle challenge. And two book clubs keep my months full of reading!📖
pickI felt like this was a solid, well put together about the history and evolution of American bookshops. Did you know Benjamin Franklin had a bookshop? Did you know there was once a fascist bookshop in LA, that sold and promoted propaganda? This book is full of interesting facts. It shows how the ways in which we get books have changed over time—from street books, to indie stores, to big corporations, to billionaires like Amazon‘s Bezos. ⬇️
pickInstagram kept feeding this up to me as an ad and I bit the bullet, expecting it would be a bit of a disaster IF it ever arrived. But it did and it‘s gorgeous! I‘ve only been to a few, including this library in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This is the perfect book to curl up with and daydream ❤️
