not too much to say
things are really clearing out here at the store and i've just been a bit sad over the past few days. it was wonderful to have ellen and her asisstant susan here and we had so so much fun with them at the boot yesterday. i am so glad that they came because it gave me two days of focusing on things that did not have to do with the store.
but the sadness is setting in now and i'm having more and more trouble being nice to anyone, including eleanor, chris and pete. i just want to bury my head and be sad, and don't have time for that. everything at the store is in a standstill until wednesday. there are still people coming in, which is great and i want them to buy up as many of these super duper discounted books as possible, but at the same time, i just want to lock the doors and get it over with already. we originally thought we'd do this through the 15th of april, and thank goodness we didn't because it would have been so difficult.
i'm gonna go back to sorting books.

I am so devasted that you have closed your doors. I happened to google you to see if you were hosting a Harry Poter book party again this year. I read the article of your closing and I feel awful. My boys and I loved your store. Eventhough we do not live close (Indian
River area of Chesapeake)we came almost every week in the summer. We came some during the year...but in the summer their rewards for good behavior would be a trip to Broadstreet Books to have any book of their choice.
We also enjoyed craft times and storytime. And the HP party is still talked about around our house. We even invited some out of town family to come to the party.
What fun!
Good luck with future endeavors...and God bless!
So very sad to hear this news. As an independent publisher it is horrible when another independent bookstore closes.
Thank you for your efforts and for taking a stand against the big box stores.
Best wishes for much success and happiness in the future.
I regret, but I can help nothing. I know, you will find the correct decision. Do not despair.
What necessary words... super, a brilliant idea
