Hoe exciting, Stephanie!! As a librarian I would think owning or working at a book store to be awesome!! Although I do try not to buy many books since I can borrow from the public libraries for freesthom97093 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 8:30 pm Happy New Year! This year is going to be a year of change for my family. My youngest graduates from HS. My oldest graduates from Grad School. I start teaching at the University of Dayton next week. And...my husband and I are opening a bookstore in my hometown in either February or March! I've been keeping this news under wraps for a few weeks, but this has been a dream of mine since I can remember. I love to read! And the bookstores near me closed down in February. I listen to LOTS of audiobooks from my library, but there is something about holding a book and reading it. So...an opportunity popped up to lease a newly renovated, beautiful space, and my husband and I jumped on it! There is a large room in the back of the store that we plan to rent out to groups, and I'm hoping to hold scrapbooking events there. This is exciting, scary, fun all wrapped up in one!
Then more house hunting for DH & I. One house was really nice we may go back and see it again. Then a nap with the girls and I been working on some of organizing some of my scrappy items. That counts, right? 
Trying to get where there’s nothing on the floor/left out 
So excited for you! I love bookstores and I read every single day. I usually just read on my Kindle but every so often I feel the need to hold and smell a book. Thankfully our community has a small library of donated books from our residents so I just head there to get my "fix".sthom97093 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 8:30 pm Happy New Year!
