My second day of book shopping was January 2nd & part of the Vermont Independent Bookstore Passport Tour. Went to Brattleboro, VT to a great bookstore, Everyone‘s Books. Based on @Lindy and @shawnmooney recs I grabbed the tagged book. Based on @BarbaraBB rec I picked up The Night Guest. I zoned in on the only Cosby book I haven‘t read and I‘ve been eager to read. And who doesn‘t want to be more spiritually intelligent! 😂

CBee I also got The Night Guest based on the review from @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️ 4d
BarbaraBB @CBee @Suet624 I feel the pressure!! Luckily I have @Megabooks to share the blame with 😀 since I read the book based on her review! 4d
Megabooks Thanks @BarbaraBB !! So glad we can all enable each other! 🤣 I‘m interested to read what you think, Sue. 😁 4d

Lindy Deluge has stuck with me. I hope you love it! I liked Night Guest too: it‘s unsettling in the best possible way. And did you hear that SA Cosby has a new one coming out later this year? 3d
Suet624 @Lindy yes! Heard about Crosby‘s new one. Can‘t wait. 3d
monalyisha I finally mailed your books! 🥳 3d
Suet624 @monalyisha I just noticed how many posts of yours I have missed! 😭 thank you for thinking of me. 💕 (edited) 3d
Jeg To hear you mention Brattleboro took me straight back to my childhood in Keene NH. Often went on car trips there. I‘m not sure if this is a correct memory but I think there was an olden days type shop there. I remember the smells. 3d
Suet624 @Jeg What a lovely memory! I was trying to remember if I had ever been to Brattleboro before. I was mostly there because it was on my way home and I needed a stamp for my passport. I was surprised by how old-timey it all felt. I didn't spend a lot of time in the town, even though the bookstore was smack in the middle of downtown, because there was a snowstorm approaching but I definitely want to go back. 2d

Leniverse I loved this one! I read it a couple of years ago and still think about it often. 1w
keithmalek @Leniverse I would rate it somewhere between So-So and a Pick. Did it really need to be that long? 1w
Leniverse Yeak, ok. That's fair. KSR could use a stricter editor 😂 1w

I'm in for a very long day of family gatherings and remembrances of my aunt who just passed a few weeks ago, so I won't have any time alone this evening to read. I've decided to do a very early morning #jolabokaflodswap instead to start my day.

Thank you so much @merelybookish - you were so generous. I can't wait to curl up now and start reading the book (and short) you selected. I might save the chocolates for tomorrow - 5 am seems too early 🙃

CuriousG Oops, forgot to tag @MaleficentBookDragon in the original post. 2w
CuriousG Note - gnome is the singing Christmas gnome that always sits on my coffee table; unrelated to #jolabokaflodswap . Don't worry @merelybookish , I didn't confuse Christmas presents. Lol 2w
merelybookish My pleasure! Since you were open to a surprise, I took the chance to support a NB indie publisher. I hope you enjoy!! (Did they include a tote too? ) Merry Christmas! 2w

merelybookish And your singing gnome is adorable! 😄 2w
CuriousG @merelybookish yes, the tote was included, I just have it folded so you can't see all of it there. Thank you! 2w

MaleficentBookDragon So sorry for your loss. I hope you get a little calm time today. 2w

Monocausotaxophilia. I've loved this word for years, and was delighted to come across it.

2.75/5
Elizabeth Kolbert writes a series of essays about climate change, one for each letter of the alphabet.
While some essays are interesting and hopeful (about new technologies, leapfrogging) some others miss the mark (the one titled Republicans for example).
Contrary to the title, I didn't find much hope in this book, and I would have liked some essays to go more in-depth.
Wesley Allsbrook's illustrations are stunning.
