I am spending Sunday morning in @SkylarkBookshop while #puppyyoga is going on among the books and I can't help feeling that somewhere along the way I must have managed to do something right.

It's not been a great week for the legal profession (see: indictments) but this article restores the balance somewhat. It's a bit of a heavy read in places but worth the slog. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Today I am (a) slow-roasting a six pound slab of pork belly for seven hours and (b) interviewing Ari Shapiro. Grateful that my life hasn't quite turned out as I'd imagined. #bookseller #porkbelly

One of my favorite moments (among many!) at this year's @UnboundBookFest was moderating the #amazonsucks discussion with @MisterCaine and being able to call on (I think) every questioner by name. #community #becauselocal
