Yay! This gorgeous book arrived today in the mail from RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, CT. After filling out an online form that assesses your taste in books, you are matched with a book. Through this program I receive a book 6x a year.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I need to check this out! (edited) 3mo

Amiable I‘ve thought about doing Just the Right Book —although I love just going to RJ Julia‘s and picking them out myself! 😀 Curious to hear how well they match for you? 3mo

Suet624 And do they tend to be just the right book? 3mo

kspenmoll @Amiable They have done a really good job matching me with books. One time I got a book I already read & they sent me something else & told me to give the book away. I can see why though if you live close by you might question it! 3mo

kspenmoll @Suet624 🤣🤣 Actually, yes!!! 3mo

Amiable @kspenmoll Good to know! Keeping this in mind for a birthday gift for a friend as well. (edited) 3mo

Amiable And yes —I actually drive right past Madison on my way to/from work, so it‘s easy to stop in periodically on my way home! 3mo

Digging into this today. #bookmail #bookmailisthebestmail

Tamra Enjoy! 🖤 My fav book of the year so far. (edited) 4mo

kspenmoll @Tamra That‘s a great endorsement! Years ago right after the siege of Sarajevo,a family was sponsored by a local church. They had 2 boys. I tutored the younger one who had what now I would call PTSD, skittish, jumpy, bewildered-his command of English by the time i worked with him (5th grade) was fairly good. He went on to adjust to our culture & succeeded.🔽 4mo

kspenmoll 🔼 his older brother self medicated & ended up selling drugs to support his habit. Eventually he was jailed. Very said. I know all this because a student I supported in my first year of teaching kept in touch, married him & had a child. So heartbreaking. 4mo

Tamra @kspenmoll your experience/context will make the book all the better. 😌 4mo

jlhammar I thought this was such a good read. So glad you got a copy. Can‘t wait to hear what you think! 4mo

Joined (again) Just the Right Book through RJJulia‘s Booksellers in Madison, Ct. What I like about this club is that you fill out an initial questionnaire & based on your responses,they choose a book for you that should be “ just right.”

Love an outdoor, adventure-gone-wrong thriller! I did not even look at the add ons. I only have one credit left till renewal. I think my one year membership lasted 7 months! #BOTM #Bookmailisthebestmail

The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet | Benjamin Hoff

#theblues #bookmail #deadphilosopherssociety
Because we are studying the philosophy of Pooh for #deadphilosopherssociety, & I am listening to author Suleika Jaouad‘s studio interview of author Kate Bowler 10/31/21, & I love Maggie Smith‘s poetry so her journal intrigued me. #bookmailisthebestmail
