Jess_Read_This @Books.Bottles.and.Babies I need a pair of these! 7y

Books88 Bronners had a few pairs!! 7y

Jess_Read_This @AJBowers Yes!! Thank you so much for the tip! 7y

Books88 You're welcome! I thought it was so funny that I just saw these last weekend and now it's on Litsy. I'm sitting here like... Hey I know those gloves 😂 7y

ValerieAndBooks Not sure if you know but I used to live in Michigan (16 years)! I still miss it often. I had an oven mitt like this until it wore out! One side had the LP and the other had the UP on it. 7y

Jess_Read_This @AJBowers 😂😂😂 glove serendipity for me. 7y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks I didn't know you had lived in MI. Whereabouts? Those oven mitts sound awesome too. 7y

ValerieAndBooks Yes, from 1990-2006. Most of that time was in Ann Arbor! Hubby was an engineer for Ford then. 7y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks My husband's family lives in Ann Arbor. Such a great city to live in! I love all the bookstores there! 7y

ValerieAndBooks Our favorite was Borders, back when it was the original and only Borders! 7y

Leftcoastzen Love those mittens!Have not been to Ann Arbor but hope to visit one day 7y

smilingshelves @AJBowers I was in Frankenmuth - and at Bronner's - last weekend, too! Crazy small world! 7y

mjdowens 😢😪. You are all making me miss my hometown Michigan so much. I was just in Ann Arbor a couple months ago. I miss my cold ass lakes, fishing and Frankenmuth. 7y

Jess_Read_This @mjdowens You need a return trip! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks Oh yeah! Sadly, I think all the Borders are no more. 😭Ann Arbor is about an hour and a half from me; so I only get to the bookstores sporadically. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen It's a great town! So much to do. Plus, the bookstores there are amazing. 7y

Snow Love those mittens! 7y

Early Bird | Toni Yuly

I just love peeping sunrises, barely warm enough spring mornings, and my flowering trees telling me to relax.. winter is over and they got this.

Selected Poems | Robert Frost

#LocalAuthor I'm sharing because he did spend time at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and wrote this acclaimed poem while staying in Michigan. I just love his words. -side note- some attribute the clock to be the clock tower at the U of M campus.

Tuesdays with Morrie | Mitch Albom

This was the author and book that came to mind for #day18 #localauthor. In all honesty, I never understood the hype. For some reason, it just felt so wrong for an author to profit so much by sharing a private relationship with a dying man. Books that target grief vultures always make me uncomfortable. Also, books that target life lessons packaged up in 208 pages make me suspicious.

MrsMalaprop I'm with you on this one. I found it an irritating, uncomfortable read. 8y

Jess_Read_This @MrsMalaprop I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in feeling this way about this book. I agree, it was quite an irritating read! 8y

Suzze I've never been a fan of his books, but I do love his newspaper columns. He is really very nice. He was a customer and I did his book sale for the premiere of the movie of this book. Every few books I try one again. Nope. Not my cup of tea. 8y

Jess_Read_This @Suzze I will say he has done a lot of great work in the city and suburbs for charity. He seems quite nice and personable in interviews. His books aren't for me. I do like reading his newspaper articles though as well! 8y

merelybookish I have never tried to read this book. I'm quite convinced I would hate. I kind of hate it as it is. 🙄 8y

Jess_Read_This @merelybookish Lol! It's safe to continue with that hatred. I can't offer any words in support of reading this book. 😂 You are in likeminded company. 😁 8y
