Yesterday, I was having a time…
So I went to touch some grass in the form of pavement in the bookstore and talked to my favorite bookseller, who gave me perspective, a warm welcome, and a smile — essentially the Cheers experience. I purchased Dominion by Addie E. Citchens, who was featured on the Stacks Podcast and the NYTimes this week.
I also made a playlist that has songs that make me feel happy.
I know many of us are having a time these days. There is so much going on in the world. Work seems like it’s getting harder because of all the tension happening in the world, so I’m sending you all lots of smiles, hugs, and cookies, or a nice matcha, or a nice cup of coffee, whatever brings you joy.
I did want to share my playlist, though, because I think it’s pretty snazzy, and I hope it brings you some joy as well. It’s a random mix of things: Spice Girls, Dua Lipa, MF Doom, Black Milk, Little Brother, and some other stuff.
Also, if you haven’t yet, be sure to listen and/or watch my interview with author Christina Dotson.
Catch you next week.
