Overheard in the Bookstore 3

Ok, it wasn't really overheard, it was actually said directly to me.

The workload is so overwhelming that I haven't even entered a bookstore in the past 3 weeks (and let's not even begin to discuss how much reading I have accomplished in this time). But yesterday I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of good ol' Bloor West Village quality time, including wandering around my local bookstore. One of the delightful employees smiled from ear to ear when I walked in, and turned to her colleague in an excited manner to say, "Look who's here, John! Look!"

I smiled back, though somewhat confused, until she explained to me that this morning she had said to her colleague, "I have a feeling that today we will have a visit from Mrs. Storms."

How d'ya like them apples? Bookstore staff that can actually foretell your arrival! Talk about exceptional customer service!

That's fantastic. They must be following Booklust.

Now if they were able to predict what books you would want and have them set aside for you the eerie customer service would be complete!

I think I know which book store you're talking about. They are fantastic at remembering the regulars. It sure does make you feel great, don't it? (and it definitely would never happen at that other candle shop, er I mean book store that used to be a beautiful movie theatre.)

You know it, Liam!
