You have managed to make me feel like I'm there in your bookshop - thank you for that! :-) I've never read anything by Sarah Manguso but have heard her name multiple times over the past week or so, which makes me think I need to pick one of her books up. Thanks for sharing your qwiet Wednesday with us!
I love that lampshade. I see there's a place called Castlemaine in Australia. There is a Castlemaine in Kerry too, South of Listowel. I wonder if there is an association between them. I recently read Liars, not the easiest read. I will be reviewing it on my Substack for June reads, end of month.
A slow day can still be a good day..you had time to chat!
And ..was at our local tip shop yesterday , called “the upcycle centre” browsing books when an elderly man ( turns out he was probably my age) asked me if I’d seen any car manuals, specifically 1989………blah blah blah.

Thank you for reading, Christi! It’s endlessly fascinating what is chosen on any given day!

No I hadn’t ….oh well he said, eBay it is.
Coincidence?
