I’ll never pass up a chance to talk to a bookseller! Marianne Reiner of Run for Cover Books in San Diego joined me to talk books today. We talked about the special handwritten notes she adds to the books she sells, and how a non-reading child can become a book obsessed adult if they can only find the right book. We also talked some heavy subjects, including white privilege and the books that make you confront that. Marianne considers “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson to be a fundamental book, and I completely agree.
