Oh wow, I’m so excited for this!!! Okay I have a question, though it may be too broad: HOW is this little house, that is somehow bigger inside than out, stuffed with books…. So successful and even profitable or even able to maintain in the wave of amazon, corporate bookstores, an e-readers? When I go in a used bookstore it seems like the profit margins couldn’t possibly even pay the rent or employees, so I’m curious.

I like this. I also feel like your parents must have a wealth of insight, opinions, interesting stories and experience, that could really help bring an interesting and more human layer to what you share around business stuff, what you’re learning, and even any books you curate. Weave them into it!

This is exciting, Charlie! Look forward to following along. I've often dreamed of having a bookshop so I feel like I can live vicariously through you.

I am loving this idea! I am a bookstagrammer and collector/bibliophile myself. I came to your account initially because of the article about books so I am excited for this. 💛

This is fantastic news.

Your Dad is wonderful...he and the bookstore are a perfect matched set.

I do hope that you'll explore and describe the magic of reading.

Too many have forgotten, or never learned.

Hell yeah I’m enjoying this!

I am so impressed that you are adding ANOTHER series to your rotation. This is inspiring to just write and write and write.

Definitely keep this up.

Will you read the books and also give suggestions for us to buy/get from the library?

This so much better than I even imagined your news could be when you hinted recently you were going to make a big move. This is so perfect and in fact explains so much of what I've seen coming from you. It puts it all in context. Can't wait to see the weekly updates about what you're learning. This is so grounded, and rich, and has so many possibilities as a focus.
