I went to Hey Books in San Diego honestly not knowing that today was independent bookstore day. I thought there was a book signing because the line was way out the door. I managed to survive the crowd pharmaceutical free! I bought the tagged book and an “Eat the Rich” sticker. I Hope you all are having a great day.

Amiable It makes my heart so happy to see independent bookstores stuffed full of customers like this! 2d
Deblovestoread Fantastic! 2d
DGRachel Wow! I can‘t do crowds like that anymore. I start hyperventilating just looking at that picture! 1d

ncsufoxes We used to live in San Diego (we left in 2022). As stress inducing as the crowd was (it would be for me), it‘s good to see a bookstore that busy. 1d
Trashcanman @DGRachel I know what you mean, I think if I was still on meds it‘s would have been too much unless I took a lot of gabapentin before hand. It helps to be tall in this situation because I can see over most peoples heads. (edited) 1d
Trashcanman @ncsufoxes Awesome! We‘re visiting from Los Angeles. Are you still in California? 1d
ncsufoxes @Trashcanman no we are no longer in CA. Now we are in Frederick, Maryland. My husband is a scientist. He works for the National Cancer Institute. 12h

She reviewed three books a week for a year, and continued to make occasional contributions until 1933....Parker's column helped to establish the New Yorker voice; wry, puckish, world-weary.

On a book she was finding hard to finish: "One of us, we know, is not functioning properly, and we dare not hope in our inferiority that it is the author".

TheBookHippie I love her. 3mo

Just got this in the mail to add to my shelves. It was one of my favorite stories when I was little.

JenniferEgnor I thought the art in this one was beautiful. I have it too. 11mo
KateReadsYA @JenniferEgnor Agreed. I remember the first time my teacher read this to me and I felt so awakened and in awe ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 11mo
