Gwenyfar's blogWhy Aren't You Buying Used Books Right Now?Submitted by Gwenyfar on Fri, 05/24/2013 - 00:18.Last week I wrote a review of a collection of food essays titled “The Cassoulet Saved our Marriage” for the debut issue of Devour, the new foodie magazine for the Cape Fear Area. Discussing it over dinner with two of my favorite writers, Karen Bender and Robert Siegle, I heard myself say “Well, in our house it might take a moving truck.” About eight times a day we get a phone call at the bookstore from someone wanting to sell us books. “We have about 3,000 boxes we haven’t even opened yet.” I respond.

Spring Brings Good News About Fathers, Books & Clyde EdgertonSubmitted by Gwenyfar on Fri, 05/03/2013 - 20:11.Spring is here and things are looking better. That might sound like an odd way to start a blog update, but 2013 got off to a pretty bad start. January was all about Daddy’s poor health. February was just bleak. It felt like being trapped in a marathon that would never end. Then in March the tide began to turn very slowly, just a little. Now in May Daddy is stable, my foot/ankle issues are moving in a good direction, my writing work is going well - very excited to work with Salt, the WHQR Commentaries are a dream realized, and of course I love, love, love getting to be part of Encore!

The test castSubmitted by Gwenyfar on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 20:13.Still trying to figure out how to get the player to embed and pop up on this page. Until then, let's try this link to the Live Local Podcast! Musings on Forgotten NC Author….Submitted by Gwenyfar on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 16:50.Does anyone remember Frank Slaughter? Did you know he grew up North Carolina and graduated from Duke? His books were on the best seller lists for years - but almost nobody reads him anymore. We literally have yards and yards of his books in the store - mostly we rent them out to movie sets to fill book shelves.

Around here it is getting on to Azalea Festival time - which means your favorite bookstore goes on vacation next weekend. At least two of us will be out riding bicycles and enjoying spring time.

"I read a book a day,” I confirm.
