We hold nothing back, not the opinions, the giggles, or the f-bombs. New episode up!

Just sayin. It works for my laptop every time.

When your Book Club reads a book set in Georgia, and they bring homemade peach pie and peach cobbler, your night is made. (Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller)

Mother/Daughter Reading Buddies on the latest pod episode!! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

This will be starting in Beaumont on May 3rd. Let’s get off the couch and add some steps to our page count!

Our P&P sign has been getting a lot of attention… some classics just always hit home. ❤️

Sigh, I need a reading getaway.

Starring Melissa McCarthy.

“Your booktruck story would make an amazing movie!” If anyone would like to discuss this further, I can be reached for consultation. 😉

Always a range of emotional reads on my Favorites shelf.

Our Zoe’s Animal Rescue sweet pup, Brinkley, is on hand at a Creative Lettering Workshopto accept treats and hear that’s he’s a very good boy about a hundred times. He believes it every time. ❤️

Be kind to your mind (read audiobooks). Tackle your TBR (read audiobooks). Support your indie (read audiobooks). Add joy to your day (read audiobooks). Take a break (read audiobooks).

Last night was amazing!! Thank you to Chartier for an incredible Italian feast inspired by Stanley Tucci’s book, “Taste: My Life Through Food.”

New episode of The Bookshop Chronicles is up! 3 more shows being edited for future release… 🎙️What would YOU like to hear about on this podcast?? podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Yes, it’s true. I have written a book about the booktruck experience. Details on its future on my blog: livingfortheepilogue.wordpress.com

We threw a Bookish Dinner Party featuring local author Kristin Graves. It was grand.

Wow. When one of your book Clubbers is determined to make a tasty treat to pair with the book being discussed, consider the bar raised. It also tasted incredible, b.t.w.

I am sitting in a bookshop after hours, reading my book and waiting for Book Club to start. It’s so peaceful here. So quiet. Sigh.

“So, basically romance books are manuals for guys to learn how to entice women into their beds?” “It’s like reading maps when they’re lost, Hon. They won’t read books that will help them when they think they can find their own way.” (Daughter and Mom browsing the shelves recently)

This prophetic line from Star Wars “Revenge of the Sith” has been haunting me for the past 44 days.

Tomorrow morning at 9 am on Instagram Live, Sarah (The Tea Girl) and I have a sassy, honest convo about books, tea, truths about small biz life… the two of us with no guardrails??? This could get hilarious.

Up early to go on CBC Morning AM

“Once you have a kindle, you’ll never go back. I like coming into bookstores to get ideas for what to download to my kindle.” - said in the bookshop 🫤

“The internet is so dark right now. I can’t handle romance books with dark covers, roses or skulls on them. Give me sweet and cozy love stories.” (Said in the bookshop)

We care about small businesses because we are a small business. If you're not spending today, show up for your indie bookshop in other ways—such as following them on social media, leaving a positive review online, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Support doesn't always require budget 💕

Not a bad reading month. I wish I’d kept track of the books I read when I was younger, it would have been fascinating to see what I chose.

My son calls donuts “happy bagels” and I will never refer to them as anything else now

Reader: “I can’t buy anymore books until I’ve read what I have.” Bookseller: “Does that same logic apply to food and Netflix shows?” 🤔 Reader: “You’re damn right. Ring me up.” (Convo in bookshop today)

A tribute to Zelda on our bookshop sign! @hannadmade.bsky.social

“I had no idea there were so many Banned Books. I wouldn’t have the guts to tell anyone what they shouldn’t read.” “Dad, you tell me what I can’t read all the time.” “That’s different.” (Convo in the bookshop)

That pretty much sums it up.

Isn’t it, though?? 😳

An 11-year old girl bought The Hunger Games, Fahrenheit 451, and an adult fantasy book. She asked for The Kite Runner, and was impressed that her mom bought The Idiot by Dostoyevsky. I have hope the future of our readers.

Had so much fun yesterday at Fort Ed’s Capitol Theatre to watch the Pride and Prejudice Movie Marathon. Isn’t Bingley just the HAPPIEST character?

Picking my next book to read: is it 1️⃣“This Savage Song” by V.E. Schwab, or 2️⃣“Guy’s Girl” by Emma Noyes?

While doing a reading at last night’s Chocolate & Book Pairing event, I said “pubic” instead of “public”. Great.

Our latest episode of The Bookshop Chronicles is up! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

“Do you have any books about dinosaurs?” “Yes, we do, right over here.” “Oh, I don’t need to see them. I was just curious if you had any.” (Actual conversation in the bookshop)

Give us your best sentence using “quanked”!!

If you pop into the Beaumont store today, we may invite you to be on our pod! #thebookshopchronicles

Aww, thank you, @karenbdc.bsky.social !🥰

Nothing like a night of Book Journaling to add a spark of creativity to your reading life!

So, here’s one for the critics: #booktruck
