so-so

Enjoyed the first half of this much more than the second half. I really didn't care for the last chapter, which pushed it to so-so instead of a pick. But it was great fun reading it while at The Open Book

Reading about opening a used bookstore while enjoying my week at The Open Book is 💯

A fairly humourous look at how the pursuing your dream can be both hard work and worthwhile.

"...bookshops are magic, and books are the road maps by which misfits find each other."

My library book and my comfy blanket. A little reading before bedtime - the best way to end my day.

so-so

My rating would be higher except for the author's need to bash "corporate" stores in order to build up both new & used independent booksellers. I worked my way through college at a Waldenbooks in a small town. I didn't care for my customers any less because big business was signing my paycheck. But the stories about how naive they were when starting the store were funny & relatable. Their store sounds lovely and quirky.
