Good-Bye Book
Good-Bye Book | Judith Viorst
3 posts
His mother and father are getting dressed to go out to dinner together. "He doesn't want them to go!" They're going out and leaving him with a sitter. "He hates that a lot!" He pleads with them. He threatens to run away to a family that doesn't ever go out for the evening. He tells them he's sick, with a temperature of maybe a hundred and ten. And he tells them he won't- "he'll never" say good-bye. Every child, and every child's parent, will recognize this oh-so-familiar struggle between grown-ups trying to go out for an evening and a child who is fiercely determined to make them stay. It's har to say good-bye but maybe a book that helps you to laugh can make saying good-bye a little easier.

Sace @Prairiegirl_reading @CrowCAH @JoScho partly it's connection to Amazon (which I have finally decided to wean myself off of) partly its clunky app and web page. I mean, have had a friend notification on the app months that won't go away. It just keeps tellinge "something went wrong" It just makes my eye twitch. And I don't really want to track books online anymore anyway. 5y
Sace Now the typos in my comment are making my eye twitch. 5y
PickingBooks @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I hear you about Amazon. My feelings are so mixed though because I love my kindle. 😕 5y
Sace @PickingBooks oh mine are too! But I think I'm just going to stop buying kindle books/magazines going forward. I'll just use Hoopla on my iPad. 5y
Sace @PickingBooks did you see the article in NYT about Amazon and counterfeit books? 5y
JSW I got fed up with them years ago due to reviewers who were either brainless or just plain mean. And many readers were just chasing free stuff or racking up numbers, not interested in bookish conversations. I like Litsy much better. 5y
Lcsmcat @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I did and it made me angry! Author‘s work so hard and their work should be protected. 5y
Sace @JSW agreed. I feel much more confident about reviews on Litsy. 5y
MaGoose I don't use Amazon unless I absolutely, positively have to. I have an article about Amazon's unfair business practices. If anyone wants a copy, just shoot me an email at jane@janecairns.com. 5y
Sace @Lcsmcat right? That's what really pushed me to finally cut the ties. It was scary to think there were counterfeit copies of medical reference books too! 5y
PickingBooks @RestlessFickleBookHoarder No! I need to go find this article! 5y
CrowCAH @RestlessFickleBookHoarder all good reasons. Hopefully, you find some other way to track your books. 5y
Sace @CrowCAH paper and pencil have been working well 🤣 5y

Well we did it! We got rid of cable! So now I can say good-bye to the cable box and replace it with books in my tv cabinet. This spring season theme will be #bluebooks. #goodbyecable #hellobooks

DocBrown TV is a waste of time. 5y

I do love moving. I love the setting up in a new house and all the potential and excitement of "re"-decorating. (Packing isn't amazing though ?) But seeing all this empty space where books used to be? I miss them already!!

Cinfhen Good luck...you‘re right, in the end it‘s worth it💚 6y
Tamra You are right. 👍🏾 6y
Elizabeth2 Focus on the joy you will have setting your books back up once you move. I love the thought of getting to place each loved book in its rightful spot. 6y

AmyG Good luck with your move. 6y
Shibbyfruitfly I feel the exact same! The only thing that makes it worthwhile is being able to rearrange your bookshelves at the new home. 6y
FantasyChick I feel your pain. My poor books still haven't been set up after our recent move. It will all be worth it on the other end!! 6y
CarolynM Moving house is the only time I wish I didn't have so many books. Hope you enjoy your new place 🌼 6y
Kalalalatja But all the potential! Hope everything goes well 👍 6y
SamHeartCoffee You got this! 😘 6y
