No. Not shoes. You all thought I was going to say that!
Books, people. BOOKS!
I have to admit that these days I don’t buy a lot of books.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t own a lot. I have enough of a book stash to keep
me reading for many years.
Being in the book business affords me the opportunity to
“borrow” books. And I do. A lot. Yes, I love to read, but I also need to be
able to recommend titles to my customers.
So today, this blog will be all about recommendations. So
many people have asked me for a good book. I have lots. Now remember, these are
books that I’ve read and really liked. Some are mainstream, some are older
titles, some are quirky and some are just Ellen kind of books. This is a very
small list. I keep book journals that go back years. Get out some paper and a pen. Here we go:
Best Staged Plans-Cook
Peaches For Father Francis-Harris
Heads in Beds-Tomsky
Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hr. Book Store-Sloan

These should keep you occupied for a little while. If you
want descriptions you can look them up on Amazon.
Happy reading and have a great week!
