As most of you who read my posts, we have been supporting the Los Angeles Festival of Books for the past 24 plus years. We missed the first two and then we became loyal supporters year after year. Yesterday we went and you can read my post of what I thought. Now with that said we did not go this year the second day, like we always did two days in a row. Ironically, I had an easy day with real estate today.Well, not to dwell on it here are a few Fotos that I did not post yesterday.No matter what I wish you a wonderful week ahead and if you have time enjoy reading books. Please buy and read books. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Diane and I have been going to the Festival of Books for the past 24+ years. If memory serves me correctly, we only missed the first two... Now with that said this year we did not get a new coffee mug. Usually, we get one every year commemorating our visit to the Festival of Books. This year was a total disappointment.The marketing was too vague and too discouraging. In the old days if you wanted to see an author you did not have to pay to enter. This year the message was mistakenly focused on, that you cannot get to see a panel or an author unless you pay for a ticket. Really??? False messaging. Sadly, many bought into this message including us.I told Diane it was just poor English and not clear messaging... we disagreed... on a side note I was right.So, with that said, let me tell you... 04/20/2024

Speechless Sunday: The Last Bookstore's hidden treasures... as Michael Jacobs  mentioned this is more than just a book store, there are artists  and various talents hidden on the upper level. I would have been remiss if I did not post something about them. Since it is Sunday and some of us are Catholics might appreciate it and even some of the other religious believers might enjoy it too. So with that said Happy Sunday everyone! Please check out what is in the cross:)) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, focused and goal-oriented Realtor in the Beverly Hills area who will help you achieve your Real Estate goals, please reach out to me directly!

Shop Small on Independent Bookstore Day!Hard to believe that the Last Bookstore opened ten years ago in Downtown Los Angeles. Diane and I had to be at the grand opening. Now with that said I received an email that it has been ten years since the date.We were both busy, but I could not let this event go by without stopping in. Now then to boot I received an email from American Express that if I go and shop, I will get a $25 credit.  Clearly it was a sign for me to go.Ten years ago, I bought a T-shirt for Diane, I know I was not a big spender see the photo. Don't worry she bought a whole bunch of books to make up for it:))Hence, I decided this time to buy both of us a T-shirt, since we all have more books than life in us to read. I hope you will get a kick out of this. Today two T-shirts ... 04/29/2023

Those of you who have been reading my posts for the past 12 plus years know that every year Diane & I go to the Los Angeles Festival of books. Last few years we have been less than enthusiastic about it due to the Pandemic Shutdown... anyway this year we went again. Would you believe yesterday was in the mid to high 80's and humid. Needless to say, it wore both of us out.Today was a perfect day in the low 70's but Diane and I had a lot on our plate today... for me two Escrows and for her other stuff. Sadly, we missed today.Now keep in mind I have stopped being a reader, I am now just a book collector. Gratefully Diane is still a reader. Soon I am planning on being a book seller:) In the meantime if you are looking for a focused Realtor who used to love reading and now collects books rea... 04/23/2023
