Hello from Philadelphia

[Joyce]

Hello, all! Have been on Goodreads for a while but recently decided to get involved in the forums. I'm a librarian and facilitate an in-person queer book group at Giovanni's Room, which is one of the oldest GLBTQ bookstores in the country...if you buy your books from Amazon, please consider supporting GR instead! (http://queerbooks.com/)

When I'm not reading, I like to run, bake, knit, sing...lots of other things. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Joyce,

I'm glad to see Giovanni's Room is thriving. So many independent bookstores have closed their doors. I was heartbroken when one of my favorite stores closed:

I'm a knitter too, but far more comfortable with crocheting.

Welcome to the group!

I loved New Words, was very sad about that too. Giovanni's is having some struggles too, but Ed hopes to pass the torch and keep it going...

And someday I will master crocheting...maybe. :) Thanks for the welcome!

(p.s. Thanks for the blog link, hadn't seen it before, but definitely want to explore.)

Always loved Giovanni's -- the book group sounds wonderful. Nice to meet you, Joyce.
