A series of crap events this morning lead me to ai A series of crap events this morning lead me to aimless wandering around the West Village, looking for a place to eat and read a book. Apparently MLK day is now city-wide brunch day, because I couldn’t find an empty table ANYWHERE. But I DID happen upon the “new” (temporary) location of the most well-curated small book shop (at least it seems like everything in there is always picked just for me), #threelivesandcompany  a bit further down West 10th St. I stalk small book shops often to see if they carry my book because I am possibly pathetic (or just underemployed), but I’d never seen it here and was too intimidated to chat them up. (I mean @thisispattismith regularly goes there to sign copies of her books!) But today it was there! Right in the front! I dorked out and thanked the closest person working there, who turned out to be their very kind buyer named Miriam. She totally turned around my day, and I also got this memoir on Samuel Beckett and Simone de Beauvoir because I always buy a book from a shop when I see they carry mine. Not that I need an excuse 📚 📚📚📚
