I just want to take a moment and wish everyone a very happy holiday. I hope all of our readers can be with their families and friends enjoying time together.
This holiday season my bookstore was short-staffed. Darrilyn, the staffer who most enjoys working during December, fell and broke her wrist, in several places. Consequently, everyone else had to work that much harder. I cannot thank everyone enough for giving up so much of their time to make the store’s holiday season truly great. Our wrapping friend, Sue, kept commenting on Saturday how great our staff was to work with. I couldn’t agree more. Their hard work makes me look good every single day. And I’m also grateful to work with them.
I’m also very curious what books folks got as presents. So, if you got a great book, please share. I’m hoping I get a book, but I doubt that I will. This still saddens me, but it does give me permission to get myself a special book to read during the week the store is closed.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I didn’t receive any books this Christmas, although I did get a bookstore gift card (still plotting what to spend it on – new fiction, a cookbook, or books for the baby). I gave several books, though – Extra Yarn, The Christmas Quiet Book, Journey to the River Sea, The Saturdays, and A Year Down Yonder – plus a few bookstore gift cards!
