How to spend an evening, a day, an afternoon, or a morning! Or a long carpool line, a wait at the doctor’s office, on hold for a customer service rep, or any other time! Books just make it all better.

4 days of online deals? That's a breeze for a big company. But spending an entire week revamping the storefront, tracking down and labeling over 1,300 items, braving the elements, and still managing a bustling bookstore—that's the kind of hustle that deserves applause. Sidewalk sale starts Friday!

Today we celebrate freedom, fireworks, and the fierce independence of our indie bookstore. While the big guy is busy taking over Italian cities, we spend our days matching readers with their next book, and quietly plotting to overthrow algorithmic monopolies one personal recommendation at a time.

Post game wrap up. It started off strong, but lost momentum in the middle. I was tempted to DNF, but stuck it out to see if the ending brought the story to a satisfying conclusion. Honestly, the narrative just really slogged along and got boring. RATING **
