MERRITT BOOKSTORE. here's a little something fun coming up this month: writers reading other writers, along with some chat and maybe a drink (or two). 'influential short work' is the theme, which sounds like a good time to me. and it's free, for god's sake. #books #neillabute
We are so looking forward to this! @contemptent !

A friend let me know that it's #nationalbookloversday so who better to share JUST SOME of my all time favorites-- and just some of the books that have pounced a bit extra on my reading soul-- the first one is the book I read to myself over and over when I learned to read chapter books and the last one may be fairly universal! What are some books on your life list?

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
Amazing choices. All in stock!
