I need kids books for a my daughters who who love graphic novels but read all the baby sitters club and need a new fantasy book that they wont fly through in a a half hour. sorry weird request
Just discovered this substack. I think I got here from Owen King's substack. I had to Google you because I was wondering if you were Peter Straub's daughter. Not only aare you but you are a fellow UW-Madison alum. Glad I found you.
What do you get the people who have niche interests but are also so far deep it’s risky to get them something in that area? Eg, a plant lover who is a certified master gardener or a cyclist who’s watched every Tour de France and puts together their own bikes… in other words, deep interest and expertise in an area that should be fruitful for gift giving… but how to build on it?!
honestly I avoid the niche thing! everyone then gives gifts in that category and we are all multidimensional. For example, I'm a pretty avid knitter and don't usually get gifts that are that usable by me and often get mostly knitting gifts. I still love beautiful vases and getting someone's favorite book so we can connect about it and nice olive oil and and and! the gift giver doesn't have to become an expert in the thing I am an expert in, and I get variety.
I love this...thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving!
I wish I lived closer so I could visit your Book Store.

I usually avoid it but thought if anyone could make it work it’d be Emma!
I can’t wait to start my sandwich puzzle during our holiday break this year!
