I've been on a library waitlist 400 people deep for Strangers and now I'm even more intrigued so please let us know when your webshop is up and running so I can order from you instead!

I just finished this book this morning! Woke up too early and decided it was ok bc I couldn’t wait to see how it all ended. I actually read a lot of memoirs and this one struck a cord more than usual.

I cannot remember the last time a memoir flew off the shelves at the store in this same way. Unexpectedly relatable — I've reached out to Belle Burden to see if she'll come for an author event 🤞

Do you have Strangers in your shop? I need to come by! Maybe this weekend! LOVE this edition of novel pairings.

Happy Bday to your daughter! 9 was also my hamster phase. LOL.

Gah!! It's been so crazy popular that we're currently sold out 😬 But more are on the way and should be at the store by Mon/Tues. Not in time for this weekend, but soon!!

Crying in HMart, literally crying!! So intrigued by Strangers and I want to live in these Martha’s Vineyard outfits forever. 🫶 LLBean totes in every size!

Martha’s Vineyard style forever. Might need to figure out how to get LL Beans for store merch.

I love memoirs, and this one has caught my eye. Also, I got a pair of vegan Blundstones this Christmas, and I don't know how I lived so long without them, amazing.

Elyse Chambers's avatar

I didn’t expect to relate to her story so much - the disorientating feeling of having a life turned upside down. And yes to Blundstones! A wine country requirement.

Thank you!! Here's hoping Peanut thrives (and survives!). And agreed about Strangers being so moving. I teared up multiple times. 💚
