Welcome to Litsy!

Tonight, I hosted the first @silentbookclub in Durham at @daughterscoffeeandbooks . We had thirteen people show up. We talked about how a silent book club works and how it promotes literary and reading in communities.

By doing this, I am also able to support my local #indiebookshop owner.

I am so happy to see this turnout . You can see some of the books that were read during the hour of silent reading.

I was disappointed today as it is #indibookstoreday & I had to work at the library.

However, a new #indiebookshop opened by me two weeks ago , @daughterscoffeeandbooks & they were doing a book bedazzle event after I got off.

I wanted to try it & it was so much fun! I still need to complete the word “Lovers” & I did slightly mess up the “B” however for a first attempt, I am happy. And I celebrated #independentbookstoreday in a small way!

I splurged and supported one of my CT indie bookshops, RJJulia Booksellers. My package was accompanied by a thoughtful postcard of thanks. It also arrived quickly! Suare Haunting was featured on their website- looked right up my alley to be clicheish (made up word?). 📚😁

On our last official vacation day yesterday, my hubby and I visited Uxbridge for some lunch, hiking and book shopping (not in that order). I picked up these beauties from my new favourite independent bookstore, Blue Heron Books. They have a great selection, and these are all signed!! #indiebookshop #vacationgoals #books4ever 👍🏽

Always stop by my favorite travel bookshop Idlewild Books in NYC before heading off on a trip. Their new location is amazing, so pretty. #indiebookshop

John Sandoe Books is where I bought Adichie's Americanah, but as you can see, there is so much more I could've bought and unearthed in this treasure trove. (I suppose I could always come back)

Such a lovely place. In my daydreams, it'll be in one of the wings of my country cottage estate. 😄 #getindie #indiebookshop #london
