Chaucer's Books Santa Barbara, Life: part-time, Santa Barbara Novel

Pre-release copies of Life: part-time are available at Chaucer’s Books in Santa Barbara at 3321 State Street in Loreto Plaza.

Chaucer’s Books is a fantastic Santa Barbara book smart book lover’s destination. An excellent independent book shop since 1974. Every corner of the store is packed with books, books, books. One of my favorite book-fanatic qualities about Chaucer’s Books: they have a delightful, cozy, children’s book section. A great place to discover new children’s books in a colorful, relaxing environment.

Happy first day of autumn to my fellow Autumn Peop Happy first day of autumn to my fellow Autumn People. Photo is one of my Jethro Tull Coreopsis plants flowering today during the Autumnal Equinox. The plant is probably named for the English agricultural pioneer Jethro Tull, but it does have fluted petals so maybe a double nod to the seed pioneer and the modern day flautist, Ian Anderson. #autumn #jethrotull #iananderson #first day of autumn #seedmoney #life-part-time #flowermusic #yellowflowersofinstagram

Often, a customer’s browsing habits would inspire her to create some impromptu song lyrics. Tonight, she improvised a song about a secret bookshop in the forest populated with towering trees that housed rows of books on their welcoming branches.
