Another One Bites The Dust

[jmward14]

It wasn't my neighborhood bookstore.  It wasn't even the bookstore near my mom's.  But it was just fifty feet from one of my favorite bakeries amid some really wonderful restaurants.  I spent a lot of time browsing before and after lunches and dinners, many of them with qnotku.
Now it's no more.  Farewell, Books-a-Million Shirlington.  My personal world is a sadder place.

"My personal world is a sadder place."

I know exactly what you mean. Unlike other stores (except perhaps a few record stores), good bookshops are sort of like living creatures, aren't they?

So true. Hugs, Jean Marie

The awful part is I keep hearing Bette Davis in my head.
Hugs,

I looked at qnotku's LJ again last night, for the first time in a very long while, and got a bit teary. Big hugs.

I do understand {{{{hutch0}}}}. Believe me, I do. It's especially bad for me when I'm prepping for a con, like I'm doing today. (I head out for RavenCon tomorrow.)
BTW, major congrats on the continued progress of the book. Every correction, as much as every added word, is a step in the right direction.
Hugs and smiles,
Jean Marie
