Thursday morning I came into the store an hour early to meet a rep and a customer asked me if the store was open and of course I let her in. She told me she was leaving Winter Park to go back home and always would stop by to buy a book because she loved the store and wanted to support it. She asked me for a recommendation and I told her I loved the new book,America Marriage which was alsI an Oprah pick. When it was time for her to check out, she shared with me that owning her own bookstore was her dream job and she actually dreams about it and can see it clearly in her dreams.
It is rare in my world of bookselling that an event causes a Constitutional examination. A few weeks ago, we got to witness our Constitution being tested when the President tried to stop the release of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury. As an attorney, I am always fascinated by these types of events from a non-political viewpoint. Regardless of what the text says, I thought it may be interesting to look at the series of events from a Constitutional perspective.
Hi From Lauren at the Bookstore, The end of the year is always a time to reflect and be grateful for all the blessings we have had in the last year. I am grateful for so many things. Thank you for supporting your local indie bookstore! We are now three years old and growing exponentially.
We are so excited that we are partnering with the Greater Orlando Jewish Community Center for our inaugural Jewish Book Festival. We have great authors lined up and cannot wait to meet them and to hear their stories.
I finally was able to put together the long promised blog where we will post reviews from our wonderful members who we trusted with our Advanced Reader Copies to give us an honest review. We are also going to post our own reviews and what we are reading. We welcome comments and reviews from all our friends of the bookstore. Stay tuned and check us out weekly, (or daily if you would like!) Happy reading!
