awesomeLitten

This is a small little bookstore that I stop in at every Wedensday on my way to the comic shop. It's part of the Indigo franchise. Today I bought them all gift certificates for the coffee shop where I am currently taking the picture from. It felt good to put a smile on their faces.

I was to shy to ask for a photo with them so this is all I have. ☺️ #loveYourBookstore

robinb What a sweet way to #payitforward ! Good for you! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️ 6y

AmyG That‘s so sweet of you! 6y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @robinb @AmyG thanks. I'm not very good at stuff like that lol. I'm all awkward and self conscious. 😂. It felt...right to do it though. Those poor employees have no 8dea how important books are for me. They're like my dealers. 😜 6y

All the Right Stuff | Walter Dean Myers

Congratulations @robinb (aka my #StoneSister) on your #LitsyMilestone!!!!

3 fiction books that gave me all the feels were
1. The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne
2. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
3. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See

#Congratulations #AwesomeLitten #alltherightstuffgiveaway

MinDea @robinb i love this question! I have at least 10 more books I could have mentioned but these were the first 3 that came to mind! 7y

robinb Thanks for entering/sharing, Mindy (aka #StoneSister)! 😉 These sound really interesting (stacked!), and THIF has been on my TBR for awhile now. 👍 Thanks for the recs! 😊❤️ (edited) 7y

robinb @MinDea I know it‘s rather a broad question (open to interpretation), but I‘m happy and excited with the range of responses that I‘m getting! 😊 7y

MinDea @robinb I'll have to look at the hashtag to see all the recs! Such a fun idea to get recommendations! 7y

robinb @MinDea My TBR is exploding!! 🤯😩🤣 7y

MinDea Awww thanks @Robinb! I am putting your and @TricksyTails #AwesomeLitten boxes together tonight!!! Should be going out mid this week!!! 7y

TricksyTails Yay! Thank you! So excited! 🤗🙏♥️ 7y

rubyslippersreads I want Alice too. I think they're withholding them to make us order more books. 😄 7y

BookNAround I pulled out all of my bookmarks (and I have an appalling number total plus an appalling number of duplicates which I‘m contemplating giving away) to see if I had an extra for you since I knew I had at least one Alice. Sadly, I don‘t but I uncovered all the bookmarks my kids made me when they were small and that was a true gift so thanks for causing that. ❤️ (edited) 7y

MinDea Awww, that was so nice of you @BookNAround !! So glad I helped you find your bookmarks! 😉 What a sweet gift from your kids! 7y

BookishTrish I'm ordering like mad too trying to get Alice. So far no dice. 7y

robinb @MinDea So nice of you, thank you! 😊 7y

A Man Called Ove: A Novel | Fredrik Backman

pick

4/5
Finished my first book of 2018 with this delightful little number. There were a few things that didn‘t seem realistic, but I didn‘t care. I enjoyed it all because I felt happy while reading this. While the undertone is sad, the book was also sweet and heartwarming. Exactly what I needed to start the year off.
