Wigtown book haul!
Bythell wrote the tagged based on his experience running The Bookshop, where I bought this copy. It's a signed edition & we actually briefly said hello to him as he was taking his recycling out 😅
At the children's bookstore, I found this cute locally written & published picture book for my niece who is obsessed with cows & cowgirls right now
And I'd been looking for a good folklore book - this one has beautiful illustrations
I‘ve spent 5 days in Paris and came back last Thursday.
A visit to Shakespeare and Company feels almost mandatory as a reader and book lover, but I also love that store.
These are the books I bought.
I also bought this new tote bag with the very fitting quote
pickThis was an interesting read. So relatable as a reader. The section with the kindle was hilarious. Its funny and a great read for any book lover. 4*
so-soSeemed to me a little mean spirited and patronizing, but there were some good insights and interesting conclusions.
I am still very interested in The Diary of a Bookseller and Confessions of a Bookseller :)
1. I‘d like to visit Wigtown, Scotland someday.
2. The tagged book is a memoir by a bookseller located there.

Thank you for the tag @Eggs and @PageShifter ☺️
I've been wanting to get to this as McMurtry tells about his life in, around, and selling books. Sounds interesting!

pickHow is it possible to feel nostalgia for a place you have never been and for people you have never known?
I‘ve had worse reading views before 🤩
pickA marvelous experience. If reading 84, Charing Cross Road left you fiending for more charming non-fiction about bookstore people, this is the book for you. I'm very glad the audiobook was read by the author because I think his dry, almost desultory humour shines through best in his own voice. That being said, there are some lovely quotes that I wish I'd had a physical copy handy to capture. 1/?
