So I was gone over the weekend. A friend of mine got married–and the wench lives in Michigan, geez…what is it with most of my best friends being scattered across the country?
Anyway, she’s in Michigan. I’m invited. DH can’t go, but we can. I load up the kids and because I had a new book out, made a booksigning spree out of it. Hit um…thirteen stores, I think-many of them in Michigan, several in Indiana, and a few in Ohio. Notably, the Borders on Lohr Rd stands out because the bookseller there was kind of enough to direct me to a place where I got the best margarita…it’s also a gorgeous store.
Hit the Paperbacks n Things in Westland, Michigan-that’s a great little indy, so if you live around there and need an indy bookstore? Check it out.
And because I want to live here…the Books & Co (booksamillion) in Dayton/Beavercreek…the staff was wonderful, and the store is just…well. Wow.
Pretty, yes?
FYI, I’m posting this Sunday night, and I might go ahead and post a few things for the next few days, but I’m probably going to be MIA for a few days. A friend of ours passed away and I doubt I’ll feel up to being social or talking much.
I’m so sorry about your friend. I saw your tweet about it and briefly thought about responding but figured it’d get lost in the fray. Obviously, there’s never a right time, but I’m doubly sorry that you had to be away from your guy and didn’t have him to physically grab onto for a bit.
On the lighter side, that’s one awesome store. I’d get lost. You might have slid a state west and seen ME dang it.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. God’s blessings to you, and the family of your friend…
So sorry for your loss Shiloh. You and your friends are in our thoughts.
But I loved the picture of Books and Co. That is one gorgeous bookstore.
I’m sorry about your friend. You must be exhausted emotionally but also physically– geesh, 13 bookstores on one trip! I’m tired for you:) Rest up.
My condolences to u and ur friends family Shiloh never a pleasant thing to go through!
