I found the card in the used book. I looked him up. He passed away a year and a half ago. Finding things in books is awesome!

1. The above. The subject and mentions of Mary Beard usually get me.
2. Stand alone. I‘m more likely to read a stand alone based on preferences.

Fun Fact: There was a used bookstore on Telegraph Ave for a longtime in Berkeley called Shakespeare books. It was named after the famous one in Paris. It was a truly funky amazing used bookstore. They went out of business. Now there is a cafe called Romeo‘s in that spot. Im fairly sure it has different owners. The owners have a little black dog named Romeo.
For the love of tahini. At first I thought the premise of this book was a bit hokey. Why base a cookbook on a simple condiment? But really what as amazing condiment it is.
pickI have mixed feelings here. This is a low pick. I greatly enjoy stories that incorporate music, such as this and “Love is a Mixed Tape.” Im familiar with most of the music mentioned and locations in part of the book. I liked listing the artists and bands. It just didn‘t seem to go deep enough for me. There‘s a film of this being made.

“My first encounter with the originality of Canadian French-speaking cultures came at an early age, when living in Ottawa during the 1950s. It was immediately apparent that the French taught in English- language public schools belonged to a world apart from the everyday French spoken in the streets.” #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

The problem with reading for empathy. How we consume stories in an age of performance. 🤔

New products. I picked up TJ‘s new body sunscreen gel. They have a new mineral sunscreen too.

Not if they don‘t talk and take on the real issues it doesn‘t. ✊
I‘m curious where this statistic comes from. Who tracks this information? It seems like more than 50% these days. I do sometimes avoid getting a book if it‘s in first person. Yes yes I do.

1. My estimate is that we have some where between 800 and 1000. We do get rid of books we don‘t want every once in awhile. We have also moved a couple times rather recently, that always involves having to part with some books.
