    About this ebook

    White Feather always wanted to be a writer. As a young man he figured that one of the best jobs he could get was one working in a bookstore. He would be surrounded by books every day, he could read voraciously, and he could learn a lot about books and the book business. Working in a bookstore, he was like a kid in a candy store. Over the course of three decades, he worked in several bookstores and even owned and managed his own bookstore for nine years. White Feather has many stories from all these years spent in bookstores and these nine stories are a selection of his favorites. Spirituality, reincarnation, synchronicity, and love weave through these stories as events are related that are often far more bizarre than one would normally attribute to life in a bookstore.

      A Year in Reading: Liv Stratman

      Dec 16, 2021

      At the risk of coming across exactly like the smug shithead I really am (when I'm not pretending to be chill (ugh) so that men will like me), I admit here that I find the premise of a reading goal pretty lame. The post A Year in Reading: Liv Stratman
