I did my “Prime” book shopping at my local indie, Quail Ridge Books, today! I got these two for myself and three others as gifts. The staff person who helped me was so fun to talk to, which we know you don‘t get when shopping online. I am looking forward to reading these!

Did a little holiday shopping at this local store while in town and was most impressed by the knowledgeable staff.

So many wonderful experiences this weekend! First time since Covid hit that I hopped a plane and saw my ride-or-die friend in North Carolina, first time IN NC, first time back in a movie theatre, first time going to a ton of delicious restaurants, and first time going to Quail Ridge Books! This bookstore is seriously one of the most beautiful bookstores I‘ve ever been in! Thank you vaccine 🙏!

TrishB Enjoy 👍🏻 3y

My friends know how much I love Quail Ridge Books. I had to make some purchases to support the store while we‘re all doing social distancing. I did this without leaving home! They gave me recommendations and mailed the books at no charge. I asked them to let me know about authors who had their book tours disrupted. I added Girl, Woman, Other for good measure.

LiteraryinLawrence That‘s really cool to prioritize authors whose book tours were cancelled. I had been mostly thinking of buying books for the sake of the local indie bookstore owners, but that‘s another great point to consider. 4y

MallenNC @LiteraryinLititz I just keep thinking of what it must be like to put all your effort into a book and then to have something like this happen at launch. The books will always be there, but I know it has to impact sales. Also, I am assuming my store had ordered a surplus of these because of the planned events. That was my thought process. 4y

“I‘m going to stop by the bookstore on the way home but I‘m only buying one book or maybe two. Ok I‘m getting three.” I went for Ronan Farrow but I couldn‘t leave Elton and Adam behind.

JenReadsAlot Awesome picks! 5y

We couldn‘t visit a new city without stopping by a bookstore! This one is fabulous—so many good middle grade & children‘s books, as well as plenty of new indies & a great translated selection. The girls each picked out a new book and my husband spoiled me with two. 😊

Centique What @Cathythoughts said!😍💕 5y

saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly I don‘t know!!! It‘s devastating, isn‘t it? Lucy is in full emotional preteen mode and I just can‘t. We talk about hormones and breasts and feminism and crushes and stress all the time now. 😱 5y

saresmoore @KarenUK It was lovely! We had a really nice trip and returned just in time to start hurricane prep. 🤦‍♀️ I hope you will be safe and spared the worst of it! 5y

saresmoore @Bookzombie Isn‘t it hilarious? I snorted when I saw it. 5y

saresmoore @Lcsmcat I was so impressed! I just wandered around in smiling awe for several minutes. 5y

saresmoore @Branwen @sisilia @erzascarletbookgasm @Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen @batsy @Kalalalatja We had such a nice time! It was a much needed respite and great family bonding. We spent most of our time at the Museum of Natural Sciences learning about women in science & climate change, then wandered past an ugly confederate memorial statue into a lively & colorful African street festival and all of it gave me just a twinge of hope. 5y

saresmoore @Cathythoughts @Centique Thank you, both! ♥️😘 5y

ValerieAndBooks Wonderful picture 💖 5y

LauraBeth What a lovely picture ❤️ Sorry to hear about Lucy‘s pre-teen hormones! 😱 5y

saresmoore @LauraBeth Life is such an adventure! 5y

KarenUK @saresmoore we seemed to have dodged a bullet! Thinking of you all, hoping for the same for you guys 💕💕💕💕 5y

Suet624 Wow! I missed all the excitement and just now seeing this. So nice to see you and the kiddos. 5y

Casey Cep talking about her book The Furious Hours, which is going into my TBR stack.

Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee

MallenNC I was there too! It was an interesting talk. I enjoyed her book when I read it earlier this summer. 5y

akaGingerK @MallenNC I definitely enjoyed the talk - my sister‘s the Harper Lee fan, so I was thinking I‘d send a copy to her - but now I‘m going to read it first. 5y

MallenNC @akaGingerK The first third about the murder case would be interesting even without the Harper Lee aspect. I hope you enjoy it. 5y

Louise Penny was delightful! She‘s so funny in her presentations. I‘ve seen her twice and she‘s always hilarious. I loved that she was careful not to spoil any of her books, since I‘m not quite caught up. This is a terrible picture of her taking pictures of the crowd. She told us to hold up our phones!

JamieArc I follow her on Facebook and always love her posts. Would love to see her one day! 5y
