My reading has been sporadic lately with my daughter moving back in, working, traveling, and just all the things. We went to 6 bookstores, not counting thrift stores!! Did you guess correctly?

Wondering if you were here in Ann Arbor. We have quite a few bookstores with both used and new books. At least four that are not part of any chain and are a bit quirky. Nice that you were here.
ReplyDeletebest, mae
Mae, no, we didn't get near Ann Arbor, maybe next time.
DeleteThat's great that your kids give you books for Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteJoy, literally the first time ever!
DeleteWelcome Back and Happy Anniversary! I looked at your pictures. Looks like you had a great time. I wonder if the Tulip Festival is like the Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C. in that the cherry blossoms aren't necessarily in bloom at the time of the festival. Looks like you have a nice selection of new books. I'm intrigued by the healthy eating one, but they all look good. I guessed way more than 6 bookstores. Lol. Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteMeezan, if you count thrift stores and stuff it was WAY more than 6, LOL!
DeleteHappy anniversary It looks like a great trip! I love tulips, so would have been very happy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Thanks Marg.
DeleteLooks like quite the book haul. Hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy anniversary!
Thanks Mark!
DeleteAll those new books and visits to six bookstores? You and I are from the same book people stock!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on celebrating your 25th anniversary!
Deb, you know it!! We have our priorities, LOL! Thank you!
DeleteHappy anniversary! Sounds like you had a great time. All those book shops 😊 I hope you enjoy all your new books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week next week!

Thanks Emily!
DeleteHappy anniversary. I tend to avoid book stores as I have limited myself to ebooks. I gave away my home library a year ago, and now relish the extra space in the basement.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I don't visit a lot of them around here, but it was great for vacation! And, I really didn't do too bad, LOL! I just need to be sure I read them.
DeleteHappy anniversary! 25 years is amazing. :) And so many new books -- also so lovely thsat your kids got you some for Mother's Day. :D I'm seeing a lot of fun romcoms that I'll be waiting for your thoughts on. :)
ReplyDeleteaimee @ aimee can read

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHi my friend. Happy anniversary. You are very blessed. When you have a chance can you email me at reginekarpel@gmail.com. Have a question for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regine! I will email you, but maybe we better text, LOL! Last time you didn't get my emails, or I didn't get yours.
DeleteCongrats on 25 years!!!! And 6 bookstores sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jinjer!
DeleteCongrats on the 25 years. 6 bookstores wow i don’t have even close to that many near me to even attempt to shop at. Hope you enjoy your new bookish finds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan! We traveled around Michigan to get to the 6 bookstores ;)
DeleteAhh, big book hauls are so exciting! Hope you enjoy them all. A trip to somewhere with plenty of bookshops sounds like exactly what me and my wife would do, haha.
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS/Sunday Post.
Nicky, yes, me and my husband are HUGE book nerds, so it's great to go to bookstores for dates :)
