Inkling Bookshop

All--this time last year I was celebrating the beginning of my journey to open a bookstore by attending the American Booksellers' Association's Winter Institute in Seattle. I was full of hope and excitement and dreams of the future. My goal was to have the store open by my 35th birthday, which is coming up in May. Life has, alas, gotten in the way and that particular goal is no longer feasible. BUT. I wanted to let you, my supporters and fellow book-lovers, know that this dream is far from dead. It is going to take longer than I hoped to get the doors open, but open them I shall. Keep your eyeballs on this page, friends. Keep the dream alive. Love, Amy

Remember me? Hopefully I won't be on a once-a-month schedule forever, but Life continues to win over Dream right now. Here's a piece that is blowing my mind about a library to be published in the future. Wish I could live forever so I could see it!

Margaret Atwood's new work will remain unseen for a century Novelist says it is 'delicious' to be first contributor to the Future Library, which will compile 100 texts for publication in 2114
