Bookmarked by Reese's Book ClubThe Booksellers' Guide to Gifting with Emma Straub and Lucy Yu
This might be the ultimate gift-giving episode for all the Bookmarked listeners out there. This week, Danielle gets to sit down with two book bosses and indie bookstore owners, Lucy Yu (Yu and Me Books in New York City) and Emma Straub (Books Are Magic in Brooklyn, NY). Danielle gets to find out what books are hitting their stores’ best-of lists for the year, what books are surprising them, and what books they can't stop thinking about. Danielle also gets to ask Lucy and Emma to come up with books that fit some very specific shopping requests from Bookmarked listeners. This episode is also for everyone out there who has romanticized the dream of owning a bookstore, whoever pictured themselves as Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail (I know you all have). Find out what it's really like to run a little shop around the corner.
