1. My library is about 300 books. Yes, I track it on a spreadsheet. Over the weekend I acquired two more books at Malice Domestic that I still need to incorporate.
2. I think I‘m still reading it.

A pretty fantastic #bookhaul for #independentbookstoreday! I needed to buy enough to get a free tote. 🤷♀️
A pop up shop inside Changing Hands Tempe , Az. I heard the conversations of teachers & staff talking of all the controversies & challenges. Hey , I know that most Littens are profoundly aware of all of this , I was happy to see customers who are discovering for the first time the extent of this BS !

Tomorrow is independent bookstore day. Diverse Books posted a list of independent bookstores. They also broke them down by the different types of owners. https://www.diversebooks.org/resources/diversebookstores Happy buying & reading!
so-soIt‘s not terrible. 🤷 It‘s not so much a history as it is a highlight of bookshops the author found interesting. Not a problem, but some of them were not to me. I also do not like the way certain historic events were worded. Eg. In the chapter about “radical” bookstores, he states that Eugene Debs (an American socialist) went to prison. No context. It makes me wonder about other facts he tossed around.
so-soThe formatting of the book was pretty blah. I feel like the presentation could have been nicer. The categories of quotes made sense. I don‘t know much about publishing, so that was over my head. A lot of quotes on writing. More than reading.
