pickLast year, for my birthday, I got my 4th round of chemo 😔. Needless to say, my birthday was a bust. This year, to make up for it, my husband took me on a bookstore tour in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We hit 5 bookstores, including this gem: Story Line Books, housed in St. Paul's Union Depot. With a subtle train theme, the charm of the historic train station, and a wonderfully curated selection, this was a great stop! #supportindiebookstores
Update on reading own books:
Took two books to the charity shop. Success!
Bought two books.

“The Book Swap” isn‘t a bad book. I enjoyed the premise of the book, and both protagonists are flawed in their own ways. The book is heavy on the miscommunication trope, and as someone who isn‘t a fan of that trope, it lessened my enjoyment of the story as there is a lot of it throughout.
My January book box has arrived + 2 scored from a BOTM sales/swap Facebook group!

The tagged book was my first read of the year, not the best book on books & reading I‘ve ever read , I did enjoy it . Her specialty is the history OF the book so she went deep on some elements of that I didn‘t get into. Short book & she did have lots of info in the appendix if you wanted to dig deeper, always appreciate that . #SundayFunday
pickImmensely detailed and comprehensive. If you‘re interested in the topic then you will enjoy this book. It can be quite dry and suffers from a disinterest in pacing. It‘s clear that the authors did an enormous amount of research and want to share it all
pickInspiring and reflecting stories about the importance of our libraries, bookstores and reading.
