Great post! Made me laugh. Glad you’re not leading the LDS guy on.
I’m in Arkansas right now and lots of people respond “I’m feeling blessed” when you ask how their day is. We were thinking the proper answer for when you’re feeling not so good is “feeling cursed”. Whatcha think? Will the AK folks stop being nice to me if I say this? Can I get exorcised in the next few days?
https://thebookies.com/ was my local childhood bookstore. hang out spot. my mom would take us all the time and when my smallest sister was born, the ladies helped decide between the names kai and hannah. I used to sneak read the gossip girl in the stacks because I wasn't allowed. Beloved matriarch, owner and my god-grandmother sue lubeck passed last year: https://www.denverpost.com/2021/08/11/sue-lubeck-bookies-denver-bookstore/
I need to check out Spoonbill. It sounds terrific. Book Court used to be my place, and since that shut down I feel like I've been drifting. I guess the place that feels closest to it now is Mercer Street Books. Always find something interesting there. I've been meaning to get over to Better Read than Dead, but haven't yet.

And this is the best bookstore I’ve been to but I don’t think I’ve found my soulmate yet https://www.unabridgedbookstore.com/

Thanks for including me!

My indie bookstore is dog-friendly, always has great ideas of what I should get (as if I need more books) and has dozens of book clubs.
