These are both my jobs. And I love them.
I love exploring the fiction section (which I'm not allowed to hang out in too much, since I know it so well already) and finding new and exciting titles. I love picking out covers that make me go oooh! and putting them out for everyone to see.
But most of all, I love writing a new quote. It's pretty simple: you pick out a quote, poem, or saying you love, write it on the store's big white board, and put it out for display. The quote can be about books, or something that makes you think, or something that makes you laugh. You can pick anything, and that's why I was so freaked out when, last Saturday, it officially became my job.
I didn't know where to start or what to expect. Would my boss be okay with what I picked? Would anyone actually be able to read my writing?
This was today's pick:
Hug O' War by Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles,
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles,
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
It made me happy, and my boss was happy, and today was a good day. Some days you go with something that puts a smile on your face, and that's all.
Love,
Erika

That's beautiful! I bet everyone who will enter the store and take the time to read will be a happier person that day. Be prepared for hugs and kisses, though :)
Ohhhh! Hug O' War. That's an awesome message. If only the whole world could have a Hug O' War.
Congratulations on the quote gig! Keep us posted about your picks.
:) Thank you both!
Mum - I was a bit apprehensive at first, but so far no overly awkward affection.
Suzanne - I definitely will! It's a lot of pressure to find something every week >.<
