Building a reader who loves it like you do!<br /><br />This sounds like a terrific book. You HAVE read "84 Charing Cross Road," "Duchess of Bloomsbury Street" and "Q's Legacy" by Helene Hanff, haven't you? Very short reads, all of them (do in that order) but oh, talk about a love of books! The first edition note in your post reminded me of that!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-12784266073092880042018-02-10T07:42:15.895-06:002018-02-10T07:42:15.895-06:00What a sweet story about you and your daughter!

You will both remember those road trips for years. Once they get married and have families of their own your time with your kids changes and then you have those wonderful memories to look back on. The bonus, if you are lucky, is that you form relationships with the grandkids and can take them along for the ride. We have had a deal with our grands that the year they turn 13 we take them to the beach all by themselves. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-39907452150193682582018-02-09T11:50:17.715-06:002018-02-09T11:50:17.715-06:00One goal I have for my blog is to promote indie bo...One goal I have for my blog is to promote indie bookstores. I have nothing against Amazon (I'm a prime member) or other large bookstores, but our local stores need our support, too. I always try to "buy local."Ricki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-17586604698024614212018-02-09T11:29:53.549-06:002018-02-09T11:29:53.549-06:00I have thoroughly enjoyed the copy you gave me!

And, as you already know Sundog books is one of my favorites. I've never read a book from there I didn't enjoy. I have to make a list of these book stores to visit if we get to these locations. Jim and I need to get to the bookstore in Bham. I think we've been there already but it's off our beaten path and I forget to go. I have to get World's Greatest Bookstores......Thanks RJ..The French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-33753513831901592072018-02-09T10:45:02.749-06:002018-02-09T10:45:02.749-06:00When our son was about 3, a fabulous children'...When our son was about 3, a fabulous children's bookstore opened right next door to our local grocery store. The owner was a former children's librarian who lost her job when library funding was cut. She encouraged moms to drop their kids in the store while we shopped and we rewarded our kids with books. It speeded up our shopping and of course Jody made a lot of sales. But sadly, Adventures For Kids was pushed out when Barnes and Noble came to town.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.com
