"Some days you eat salads and go to the gym, some days you eat cupcakes and refuse to put on pants. It's called balance."   We are all doing the best we can to check items off our lists and still be SANE. I get it. Running 2 bookstores and trying to have a vibrant life that supports that requires a lot of saying NO to people, which I am totally fine with, by the way. I hope some of this info helps and gives you permission to retreat and READ because it just makes you a better human. Books discussed: First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost   Thank you to Lynne + Laurie for the question, and I am eager to hear what happens next in your story.   Let's get social - follow Daisy Chain Book Co. on Instagram, Bluesky, and TikTok, or email me at brandi@daisychainbook.co For information on the Booktruck BOOK, please go to my BLOG for updates, access to sneak peeks and more!
