Murder by the Book, our true crime/horror book club is meeting up IRL this week. Someone asked if I'd be there- that's a hard nope for me ma'am.
They also asked if the bookstore was haunted. A bookseller started telling a creepy story I straight up walked away mid sentence.
Me: Preparing two gigantic, elaborate breakfast plates of baked oatmeal, yogurt, strawberries, peanuts, greens, bananna....
Husband: "all that for the kids?"
Me: "uh yeah. The kids."
~if by "kids" you mean my nine chickens then yes, yes it is for them.~
If you're at a loss as to what new books will get your kids reading, you might want to check out this upcoming event.
Our kids book buyer will share top picks for holiday gifts + offer individualized advice just for your young reader.

Well I must say you can really hear the five packages of trick-or-treat sized Sour Patch Kids in my voice in this interview. Thanks Vernon for capturing my vibe haha. "Alright, Henry, that's enough." Lol

Loving @rebeccaromney's class on collecting romance. It's so inspiring and helping me rethink book collecting.
"We get to decide what gets remembered and why." ❤️
Collecting doesn't have to be a capitalist minded endeavor- it can be about honoring history, memory keeping.
Tomorrow is our big fancy bday party at the bookstore! 🎉
To prepare I picked up a 40lb bag of chicken feed and threw my back out. Oops. Checkers is not impressed.
