I attended a fundraising event recently for a cause near and dear to my heart in Murphys and saw a basket they had donated.

They just don't have too many bookstores left like this one. As the name suggests, you can bring your gently used books in and they will keep a record of them, and you will receive a discount of roughly half off of whatever you decide to buy in exchange for bringing in your old books. This turns out to be a great value considering the good condition and broad variety of the books that they carry. We can always find something good to read, and the price is definitely always easy on the pocketbook. The lovely people who work here are very well informed. I was looking for a classic by Pearl S Buck, and she knew exactly where it was located in the store. I have confidence in these guys, and I know that I can check with them before I go look elsewhere. A must see for any avid reader or bibliophile.

Located in downtown Sonora, this shop offers a variety of woodland-Esque souvenir and gifts for those traveling through Yosemite. Think Pretty postcards, blankets, shirts, books, etc. Its location is also very accessible to several other shops and restaurants along the strip. The shop itself is decorated very well and gives off clamping vibes that make you want to curl up in a corner. We made a few purchases but probably would have lingered longer had we felt more welcome. Note that we were the only ones in the store at the time.

As her major was psychology, he suggested a seminal book that she might like. So, I went on Amazon and ordered it in hardcover. They promptly shipped it in paperback. I returned it and reordered the hardbound. Again, they shipped me a paperback and, just for good measure, refused to publish my truthful review (which Amazon asked for in the first place) as I am not allowed to say anything that might reflect badly on a seller. So, I ordered it from Barnes and Noble in Modesto. Not only was it the edition I wanted, it was ready in minutes and good value for the price. When I stopped by to pick it up, the clerk was cheerful, helpful, and an all-around good ambassador for the B&N brand. I had forgotten how good these folks are. Amazon lost a book buyer and reviewer. Barnes and Noble Modesto gained both.

Everyone was kind except for one of the women working today. I couldn't get her name because she had a lot of charms on her lanyard, but she had black green highlighted hair, bangs and glasses on.

I get it, we all have bad days but at the same time, it doesn't mean it's okay to spread hate towards others. With everything going on in the world that's the least we could do for each other.
