Shut Up and Read by Jeannine A. Cook is a revelation of a memoir. Harriet's Bookshop in Philly opened right before the pandemic. Holy Cow.
This book talks about the author's literary art salons in Princeton, Paris, New York, and Nairobi
She held book events for Michelle Obama! and so many other fabulous literary celebrities.
She delivered books on horseback.
This woman is freaking amazing. cover blurb - This is a behind the scenes look at one bookseller's quest for creative freedom - part confessional, part call to action, part love letter. Between book bans, AI, big box competitors, and real life, Cook writes her story.
I loved this book. This woman is a tour de force. She is amazing and inspirational.
And she just loves books. Truly - just shut up and read!!!!
You're welcome.
On horseback? That's dedication.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun title! She certainly sounds like a force!
