Happy Monday. We popped on here to remind you to support your local library, support your local stores, read (bonus points for banned books), and breathe.

Seems like another great day to avoid the news and pick up a book. Anyone else?

How to spend an evening, a day, an afternoon, or a morning! Or a long carpool line, a wait at the doctor’s office, on hold for a customer service rep, or any other time! Books just make it all better.

4 days of online deals? That's a breeze for a big company. But spending an entire week revamping the storefront, tracking down and labeling over 1,300 items, braving the elements, and still managing a bustling bookstore—that's the kind of hustle that deserves applause. Sidewalk sale starts Friday!

Sammie is sleeping soundly, comforted by the fact that our community of book lovers values supporting local bookstores more than indulging the guy who dropped $50 million on his nuptials.

Today we celebrate freedom, fireworks, and the fierce independence of our indie bookstore. While the big guy is busy taking over Italian cities, we spend our days matching readers with their next book, and quietly plotting to overthrow algorithmic monopolies one personal recommendation at a time.

Five Bullet Points for the Week:

* Ignored being tired to stay up & read
* Ignored my job responsibilities to read
* Started an audio book to add to the physical book reading
* Picked up books at the store to add to my TBR pile
* Talked about books to coworkers and added more books to my wish list

Post game wrap up. It started off strong, but lost momentum in the middle. I was tempted to DNF, but stuck it out to see if the ending brought the story to a satisfying conclusion. Honestly, the narrative just really slogged along and got boring. RATING **
