The day is so full of potential for sunshine and happiness and yet I am worried about the shadows and darkness.

The electricity is off on Ocracoke and Hatteras Islands but we are still open for business. Nothing like trying to shop for books in the dark.
Earlier this morning I had a bird flying around in the shop. You just never know what 2020 will bring.

Hurry, hurry, hurry! You have just a few more days to enjoy some of our perfect October weather. The skies are blue, the winds are calm, and I hear the fishing has been good!
Head over to @trixiesfineries to see one of our fabulous sunrises. And @aaronstilesphoto for some beautiful milky way action.

The life of an old salt. Commercial fishing at its finest, he is on the hunt for flounder. Always know where your seafood comes from.
Many thanks to my son, Kyle, for the fabulous picture of his dad.

I just sold a copy of this and it hit me that they will have to change the title of the book. It will become a Who Was book instead of Who Is. Boy, this woman is missed!

I didn't get to participate in Banned Book Week last year because of Hurricane Dorian. @mauveling drew this sign for me last year and I just had to use it this year even if it doesn't quite match the Banned Books theme this year. Stop in if you are on Ocracoke and let's talk banned books. Come see the ones that may be very surprising to you.

It has been a year and a day since Ocracoke was hi

It has been a year and a day since Ocracoke was hit and devastated by Hurricane Dorian. I struggled all day yesterday thinking how to mark the day in social media. Early this morning I decided I just wanted to thank visitors for all you did for us..my plan was to take pictures of different folks coming in the shop today. Instead Plan B popped up. Rebekah came in right at opening with these beautiful flowers for me.She and her sister, Grace,come to Books to be Red every time they are on the island and always leave with books. I decided right then that this is the picture I would use and say thank you to all of you that sent notes, words of encouragement, chocolate, wine, damp rid, tote boxes, money, and hugs. Y'all got us through this storm. We could not have done it without you all and we are so happy to be open. Thanks for believing in us and we hope to see you all on the island.
