Here from Substack Reads! My husbands and I listened to This Time Tomorrow together on a road trip in October -- one of my favorites of 2022! Happy to be here :)

Hello! I read the lithub article about your bookstore with a great sense of “Is she spying on us?” Because I work at used bookstore (one of many in a National chain....I’m not on Wheel of Fortune; can I name it? HPB!! 😉). Anyway, your description of booksellers is Spot. On. At least, with respect to me and my fellow employees. We ARE a bunch of opinionated weirdos!!

This provided me with the laugh I needed during my lunch break of my emotionally demanding job. Thank you so much!

Actually, it was the pictures of your colorful house and the books, my gosh, the books.

Retired now but I always loved the bookseller conventions. It is fun to read about them.

Please expand Books Are Magic to Baltimore! I love shopping online from your stores and would be even more psyched if I could browse the shelves everyday. “This Time Tomorrow” was one of the best books I’ve read, and I want to re-read it, but my sister’s puppy ate my copy to pieces. Whoops. I’ll order another copy...

I love your father’s work, and did not realize he had left us.
