Especially liked the "books you'll read a million times because your kid never gets tired of them. How about trying something new for once, Caitlin?" section.

I'm trying to figure out what the "Things That Scare Me" section actually is. A couple books look like fantasy, but then you also have non-fiction, about completely unrelated subjects at that.

And what bookstore has take-out and delivery menus in their cooking section? I've never seen that before.

I think it would be TERRIBLE to wrestle a penguin. Because they'd be small enough that you'd have to be worried about not hurting them, but they'd have those sharp beaks that they could be stabbing at your eyes the whole time, so you'd have to either go all-in and risk hurting them, or you'd have to risk getting your eyes poked out.

Plus, you'd probably end up all oily and smelling like fish.

Possibly I'm over-thinking the animal-wrestling...

I'm taking a wild guess and saying it's maybe a new releases section in a small bookstore, so a couple disparate genres end up on the same shelf.

I totally get the "Anxiety Inducing Books". Just yesterday I checked how much money I still owe for this year for my Master's degree. I'm anxious, all right :scared:

My dad was attacked by one when he was a kid. Best to be prepared.

I see a Gini Koch book there. I think she is (or was?) and AWer.

I really like the 'things that scare me' section. bout as subjective as it gets...
