‘Stars Hollow’ and ‘You’ve Got Mail’. No two finer worlds have ever existed. I’m hooked and envious of your reality! I love the bookshop life, I hope it continues to be a joy to work in!
I'm so excited for everything you've mentioned in this newsletter! Sequel to 'Sorry I'm late'? Yes! Tales from a bookstore? Yes! New extroverted experiences? Yes, yes! I manage a secondhand book store in Auckland and I feel like I would have given you a far more cynical response than the owner of your store :P We do have a lot more dead bugs, dust and mould to contend with. Otherwise it's pretty great.
Welcome to Substack! Also, are you me? I'm reading your writing and I feel like we have a very similar writing style and tone–this is exactly my vibe so I'm glad I found you. 💗
I also really love the idea of working in a bookshop–I just moved to a small coastal town and have been looking for a charming little bookshop because, just as it sounds, it's the perfect place for one. But, there isn't one, which is a crying shame. I'm outraged, actually. I need the capital to start my own, even if it's in the shadow of Barnes & Noble–the Kathleen Kelly way.
I love this so much. I’ve always wanted to work in a book shop, it’s my absolute dream, but I just don’t know how to afford it. Seeing someone taking life by the horns and do it is so inspiring. For now I’ll have to make do with just hanging around my local Waterstones like I do already 😂

Yes!! Bookshops are truly magickal and enchanting places. I miss the bookshops/coffee shops combos. I could spend hours there.
the best!!
Working in a small bookshop in London is my dream. The closest I got was a few days in Wigtown, Scotland, running The Open Book, an amazing experience
Love this, love you, bring it on Jess!
But even Brinkley can't save You've Got Mail's ending being WRONG.
😂😂
Thank you for such a delightful read! I can't wait for more tales from the book store!
Oh my goodness SO GLAD I stumbled upon this. I loved your book and excited to read updates!

You've Got Mail brought me here. Not gonna lie. One of my all-time favorites.

I LOVED this. (And I too work part-time in a little bookshop which fuels my Stars Hollow obsession...) 📚📚📚
oh?! Where's your bookshop? x
In a little town in Gloucestershire. Strong Stars Hollow vibes...
sounds adorable.
Ready to quit my job & find the nearest (London leaning) bookshop after reading this.
😂😂
This was such a delight to read.
I’m so envious of this!! I love this
INSTANTLY OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS YOU. Hi!
hi!!
