BOOKS FOR GOOD — Local services in Fletcher

What a wonderful spot!

Friends introduced me to Books for Good in April, and I'm overjoyed I made it back a few days ago.

Their books are beautifully organized and well priced, with proceeds going to dozens of nonprofits.

On a recent trip my partner and I took, I read a Jojo Moyes novel - The Giver of Stars - I picked up at Snug Hollow Bed and Breakfast Farm in Irvine, Kentucky.

Am I the last person on earth to read a Jojo Moyes novel?

(Maybe my long love affair reading non-fiction 📚 wanes.)

What an amazing book!

The Giver of Stars made our road trip to Wisconsin a piece of cake as Michael drove while I read aloud to him.

So...I bought eight more paperback novels of Jojo's at Books for Good the other day, elating me.

Their website & Google say store is open, but nobody is there. Took a while to find, as store is not visible from street & there's no sign. It's hidden in back of other businesses, behind a self-storage facility. Plan on washing your car afterwards, as the parking lot is mud & gravel. Like most people, I try to support charitable organizations. Which is why I've made the drive to this store 3 times. Each time, they were closed, during what was supposed to be their operating hours. Either I'm remarkably unlucky or they just close whenever they want to. While I tried to further their charitable efforts, I don't think I'll be making a...
