The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse | Charlie Mackesy

I can‘t think of a better way to start the new year than a trip to my favorite bookstore #ParkRoadBooks to pick up this book that I ordered in December so it counts for #MountTBR this year. 😆

Happy New Year, everyone!🎉🎉

Park Road Books | Charlotte, NC (Bookstore)

Apparently, @dsfisher and I have decided to make #booksinabox a #smallbusinesssaturday at #Parkroadbooks a tradition. Last year was the first time I‘d ever bought so many books at one time that I needed a box to carry the purchases home. We may have exceeded last year‘s stack. 😆😆 (actual haul in next post)

Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World | Zahra Hankir

I decided I needed to own a copy of the tagged book, so I made a quick run to #ParkRoadBooks to grab one, and *might* have picked up a fun read to balance out the serious essays. 😆

A Winter's Promise | Christelle Dabos

This is a #blameitonlitsy purchase and the books referenced in Saturday‘s email from my local #indie #parkroadbooks. They‘re even more beautiful in person. 😍

Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea (A Narwhal and Jelly Book #1) | Ben Clanton

I love my #indiebookstore #parkroadbooks. Sherri ordered all of the Ben Clanton books for me and found this accessible book on Emmett Till. Best of all, everyone shared my enthusiasm for Narwhal and Jelly and #nojudgement for the fact I bought them for myself. I don‘t have kids or even have nearby friends with kids. These puppets and books are all mine! 🤣🤣

cobwebmoth I love Narwhal and Jelly!😊 6y

mrp27 I love these books too! 6y

tournevis My son loves the books and owns the stuffies too! 6y

We Hunt the Flame | Hafsah Faizal

I came back from vacation today to this lovely piece of #bookmail sitting on my porch, because I‘m a dumba$$ who thought I preordered the Kindle version from Amazon and a hard copy from my local #indie #ParkRoadBooks. No. I will have two copies once I picked up the other from #PRB. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Giveaway time, methinks.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! I celebrated by going to my local #indie #ParkRoadBooks where if you spent more than $100, you got a tote bag and a $5 credit for a future purchase! Woohoo!

Graciouswarriorprincess Wow! I just got the tote and the freebies along with some pins. 6y

DGRachel @Graciouswarriorprincess I think I am physically incapable of spending less than $50 every time I walk in that store! I didn‘t even realize they were giving away the totes until I was checking out and Nikki said “because you spent more than $100...”😂😂 6y

Graciouswarriorprincess Cool! I bought my tote several weeks ago because I was afraid they would sell out and they didn‘t have any today. I only got one book because next week is the library used book sale at the fairgrounds. I volunteer there and get free books. 6y

DGRachel @Graciouswarriorprincess Now you‘re really making me miss living in Raleigh/Cary. I didn‘t know they did a library used book sale at the Fairgrounds! 😭😭 6y

Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel Every year. Last year I got two boxes of books(about 60 books) free from volunteering at the sale. I can‘t wait til Thursday when it starts. 👍🏻😉 6y

Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss | Rajeev Balasubramanyam

Today, I followed my bliss to my favorite place to spend my lunch hour, #parkroadbooks. Picked up my preorder (The Five - hooray for finally giving the victims a voice!!), a #blamebookriot book (If I Loved You Less), a book that‘s been on my radar since last year (Washington Black), and a couple of bookseller recommendations. Oh, and a cute tote bag and cards for #litsylove. I love #PRB and the staff there. ❤️#bookhaul #nofoodlunchhour

TheEllieMo The Five is definitely on my To Read list, the reviews I‘ve read have piqued my interest 6y

Emilymdxn I really enjoyed Washington black! 6y

ShyBookOwl I've had Wasington Black on audio for way too long. Need to read it soon! 6y

Drawn to Berlin: Comic Workshops in Refugee Shelters and Other Stories from a New Europe | Ali Fitzgerald

I‘m going to meet the author at #ParkRoadBooks on Thursday, so I wanted to read this account of the refugees she met and taught in Berlin. She gives a little history lesson, as well, of Jewish refugees fleeing Russian pogroms and it suddenly made me wonder...with the rise (again) of nationalism globally, could we see a repeat of the Holocaust?

CoverToCoverGirl Very scary question indeed! 6y

jpmcwisemorgan I‘m not sure we‘ll see camps of that size, although what is happening to children at the border is not a good sign. I think we‘ll see things like a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which will result to death. We already have people crowdfunding for medical care (some one died somewhat recently because they couldn‘t pay for their insulin or raise the money fast enough). I think it‘s already happening but not enough people want to see it. 6y

DGRachel @jpmcwisemorgan Ugh. It makes me sad, scared, and so nauseated to think that the US could be ground zero for such an atrocity. And the separation of children at the border is just mind-boggling. I don‘t understand how anyone can support that. 6y

In the Shadow of Agatha Christie: Classic Crime Fiction by Forgotten Female Writers: 1850-1917 | Leslie S Klinger

Work book club was yesterday and I discovered one of my co-workers is like my reading soul sister, so we spent a lot of time today talking books. That, of course, gave me an overwhelming desire to go to my local #indie #parkroadbooks at lunch, and well...you see the results. Plus, they ordered three other books for me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #bookhaul

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Love finding a reading soul mate! I‘ve read and enjoyed 99% mine (the trick is not compare it to her first book) it‘s a pretty fun read ☺️ 6y
