It's been a while since I have made a post and I am sorry about that. Life is busy. This past Christmas was the most lucrative holiday season my bookstore has ever seen.
Woot! Go books!
Other big life events have kept my off this blog and in the clouds but now I'm ready to make sure everyone is up to date on the musings of a slightly neurotic bookseller. Something I have noticed recently is a lot of customers paying with Amazon rewards cards :/.
Not sure how I feel about it... on one hand it sucks that they are building up points with the evil empire, but it's also pretty awesome that they aren't using those points to buy books! Win win? win tie? I don't know... Good job people?
The store itself has gone under some major changes. Bigger art section (which I am happy about). A lot of rearranging. LOTS of deep dusting. (One day I had to wrestle with a dust-rhino. Nearly took off my arm.) But the store is sparkly clean now.
(Also, side note, there is a book coming out called "Eat Bacon. Don't Jog." :) Ha. )
What am I reading? I' glad you asked ;)
Definitely pick up LEVIATHAN WAKES by James Corey if you are into epic space operas. (Star Wars.) It's fast paced and extremely well writing.
Also CHINESE COOKING FOR DIAMOND THIEVES by Dave Lowry. Hilarious. I was in stitches the whole time... there are ninjas. (Ok... so I know they aren't ninjas. Ninjas are Japanese. This would be kungfu masters. But you know what I mean...)
Lastly: HEAP HOUSE by Edward Carey. If you are an adult who still likes kids books or... are... you know... a kid, this book is great and I seriously suggest getting into the series. (OH! Also a series called SKULLDUGERY PLEASANT. Also Hilarious.)
Now for art? I've been working on quite a few things. Really if you want to follow my daily doodles find me @ink_galleries on INSTAGRAM. A large majority of my stuff is on there.
Till next time! Stay safe and happy reading.
