And the spine poem would be . . .?
Good luck with the pile. I have a similarly ambitious pile I’m taking on my own vacation next week. I think it’s a common librarian ailment.
Yeah Richmond! If you’re here the week of the 8th, bbgb (formerly the Narnia bookstore) is having a sidewalk sale. What’s a few more books for your bookbag?!
Here’s the web site in case you’re interested.

The bookstore is on Kensington.
Enjoy your visit with family!
Hope you enjoy Richmond. I know it might seem like a busman’s holiday but if you have time check out our great children’s book store bbgb. http://bbgbbooks.com/
I’m halfway through Peter Nimble. Intrigued to hear your thoughts on it…
Happy vacation, Travis!
That’s why I like to drive instead of fly, because you can take as many books as you want. You never know what you may be in the mood to read. Unfortunately, I will be flying when I leave for vacation next week, so I will have to choose wisely. Enjoy your pile!
I loved Inside out and back again. Did you get around to that one yet?
