Book Shops: How to Run Them | Ruth Brown Park
post image

I had the best time with my sister participating in the NEO Indie Bookstore Crawl this weekend. We drove 100+ miles, shopped in 7 stores, went to a Scholastic-style book fair at a music venue, and had fun shopping with friendly readers (my favorite kind of people). I can‘t wait to do it again next year!

Last 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

How is it possible to feel nostalgia for a place you have never been and for people you have never known?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ruth Shaw has led one incredible and adventurous life. Although her journey was filled with much pain and heartbreak, she looks back upon her life with tenderness. Throughout most of her memoir, my thoughts were, "How did she do all this? How would one even begin? I could never!"

This is more than the story of a bookseller in New Zealand. It's the story of a daughter, mother, sailor (extraordinaire!), lover, survivor, and fierce friend.

steph_phanie Wanted to add: some of the most frightening moments were told quite matter-of-factly. Sometimes, I think this was a way to protect herself and to shield the real identity of the people involved. There were also some episodes where I wanted more detail; I thought she could have spent more time providing context to whatever adventure she was on at the time. Also, lots of CWs with this! 1y

Mehso-so

I like to dive into books without much checking them out beforehand. But sometimes it‘s better to read some trigger warnings. This was this month‘s pick for #foodandlit. It started lovely but then got very dark very fast. And then even darker. It‘s a fascinating autobiography, I read it till the end. But for you so you don‘t make the same mistake: trigger warnings are in the comments.
