My Saturday morning routine used to include a 20-minute walk to Capitol Book and News, our independent bookstore, with a stop for coffee on the way. But last January the owners retired and closed the bookstore. Now I rely on book mail from Amazon.com. Happy to receive these, but today I am missing my neighborhood bookstore! #booknerdproblems #bookmail #photoofthedaynov16

LisaJo I was searching for what people thought about Miss Jane by Brad Watson because he's going to be at the Alabama book festival. As you know I'm sure. And I saw your post about Capitol Books. I was very sad last year when I went to the book festival and Capitol Books was no longer there. I would always wait and get my book festival books there so I could support the book store and because I really liked the people. Your post made me a little sad. 😭 (edited) 7y
Kimzey @LisaJo We'll need to connect at the Book Festival! Brad Watson is also receiving the Harper Lee Award at the Alabama Writers Symposium in Monroeville. Yaa Gyasi will be a keynote speaker there. Can't wait! Yes, I'm still sad about Capitol Book and News. (edited) 7y
LisaJo @Kimzey We will have to connect for sure. We will have to figure out a place and time. #littensmeetup Wow! Yay Gyasi, that is spectacular. 7y
