The Lovely Lit Lounge

While I was at the Halloween Bazaar in Liverpool, NY last Saturday, I wandered across the street to the Liverpool Lit Lounge, a small independent bookstore that just happens to carry my sister Diane E. Young‘s books.  I should not say “just happens;”  Diane and the owners of the store made it happen.  Anyways, I have been wanting to stop in there, and since they sell coffee, it seemed like a good idea to make my way over.

Unfortunate shadow, but we can’t always help these things.

My sister said she has long admired the house the store is in.  The owners purchased it, fixed it up and are living in the upstairs.

I’ll need to get another shot from across the street so you can really appreciate it.

I did not look for a book to purchase, because I had to get back to my sister’s vendor table at the Bazaar, but I did walk around a little.  There are places to, you know, lounge.  If I lived in Liverpool, I would go to the store and write.  Regular blog readers know I do not do enough writing.  I mean to do something about that.

I draw your attention to Wednesday Wine Club.

I chatted up the owners as I bought the coffee, telling them whose sister I was.  Diane will be having a book signing there Nov. 21.  I encourage residents of Liverpool and the surrounding areas to attend.

The coffee was excellent.  The owner asked did I want her to leave room for cream.  I said no, I trusted her that it would be yummy enough without.  She assured me that it would be, and it was.

Liverpool Lit Lounge is located at 514 Oswego St., Liverpool, NY.

 

Not Bizarre, AT the Bazaar!

Alas, I did not make my Saturday blog post on Saturday, because I was too tired.  My activities were not scattered but rather concentrated.  I was at the Cozmic Cauldron Halloween Bazaar at Johnson Park in Liverpool, NY, trying to help my sister sell her books.

The beautiful author herself!

She concentrated on her murder mysteries rather than her romance novels, since it was a Halloween Bazaar.  I piped up with my opinions on the books while she told people about them.  One of the vendors told me I should come to her booth and help sell her blankets.  I had to laugh at that.  I can’t sell things!  When I was employed and had to sell things, I always flopped miserably.  It is all very well to say, “You didn’t believe in your product,” but I did!  I told people the good things about the products and how it would benefit them.  But let us not dwell on my sordid past.

Me, trying to fit in at the Halloween Bazaar.

Since it was a Halloween Bazaar, I dressed up in a costume.  If anybody asked me what I was supposed to be, I would have said, “Oh, just a common or garden ghoul.” It is my go-to costume:  Just find stuff in my house that looks a little wild.  The skull is not part of the costume; I had picked it up from Diane’s decor.  I think if I wear the costume to a party I have been invited to, I should provide myself with a skull to carry around. Props are so important.
