You never know where bookselling will take you! Most of the time you'll find us in the store, but Brittany and Kirsten often travel around Jax to other off-site bookselling events. This week we got to attend a local company's meeting to sell books for their speaker, Stephanie Stuckey. It was such a treat to listen to her share her story of revitalizing her family's company, Stuckey's! We have signed copies available for purchase at the store. Remember signed books always make great gifts for upcoming celebrations! #bookstagram #unstuck #stephaniestuckey #stuckeys #biography #biobooks #indiebookstore #bookmarkbythesea #jacksonvillefl #bookstorejax #signedbooks #nonfictionbooks #booksmakegreatgifts

Selfishly wishing that @friendsandfiction live events were week long affairs. Just when I think I couldn't love this book family more, I'm always proven wrong🥰 The SUMMERS AT THE SAINT event was cray cray and Neptune Beach really showed up for MKA and the rest of the Fab Four! One of my b&n regulars even surprised me in line as she didn't tell me she would also be there!!! Games were played, laughs were had, fantasy crushes were revealed. Cabana Boy Shaun was there to complete the F&F family portrait and it was sooo nice getting to spend some time with everyone afterwards. It was especially nice getting to meet Alison Hammer, who has now been put to the top of my TBR! I ended the day with tacos and a walk on the beach while feeling so incredibly lucky to have found this community. 😭💖 SUMMERS AT THE SAINT releases on this coming Tuesday, so make sure you get your preorders in!!! 🏩 #friendsandfiction #summersatthesaint #bookmarkbythesea #friendsandfictionlive #buyherbookdammit #happybirthdaykristin #howoldwaspaulruddinthe70s #kristyareyoulisteningtome
