i just finished Jess Pan's book the other day because I recently fell in love with her substack, how synchronistic! So exciting and scary to move on to new things, and I applaud you for taking on all this at once. Hope you get some rest soon and my best to you and yours for the move, book and East Coast living!

It's not goodbye, it's see you later! I will always be grateful for those times at Book Larder when you made me (and so many others!) feel like it was a second home. Trust the timing, absolutely.
