i need you to get a wider shower curtain because i was cracking up at you just moving it from one side to the other

As soon as you said that perfume smelled like sunscreen, I was googling it!

Omg pls save croc bench he is literally my fav

The house is looking STUNNING!!!! Loved this catch up vlog.

More.of.this! Reading The Dud Avocado which is cute so far.

YESSSSSSSS!!!

the termites coming for the alligator bench is so upsetting to me personally, save him 😭😭

She back

i know it's so annoying to get asked these questions, but where are your couches from!? they're so good

This felt so OG TJ/Target vlog I loved it lol. I love the publishing work talk! It’s really amazing that you (and Jaylen) have made your enthusiasm into the professional book world, it’s been great to watch evolve 💫

This was so helpful. I live in a small town also… just looked at lease costs for a spot just off our one Main Street , similar to what you described … $3000. I am flabbergasted that the little businesses make it work.

yayyyy happy birthday sunny’s and congrats to you cj!! have loved watching the journey!! ☀️

💛

+1 to a dedicated video on the books you always keep in stock! Happy Sunny's anniversary <3

do you only do shelf talkers for books you've read? i've always been curious about this! such a good vid <3

Can you do another book store tour if you think it's changed much 😊 edit: I watched a recent vlog and got a good look thanks ❤

any tips for balancing this pursuit while working a FT job? truly commend ya for that feat!

wooo happy birthday to sunny's!!!! Arizona is definitely on my travel bucket list just to visit the store <3

oh my gosh i clicked this having no idea you started Sunny’s!!! i have the recycling tee shirt and wear it all the time!!! so glad to meet the face behind the brand!!

Could we get another bookstore tour, please?

I am one who would definitely be influenced by Blind Date with a Book! 😂

i'm sat. in sunny's we trust !!!

This is really helpful, thank you. I’m in the process of setting up my own independent bookshop in the UK and this has been a great insight into your experience. Thank you x

I love second hand. I thrift kids and teen and adult books with own money. I love those I do a kids book and teen and adult book giveway at applebees( 3701 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002) i have given away 1400 books in 7 months

Do you have an idea how many people visit your store on an average day?

hooray !! love this - so happy sunny’s exists ♥️

Plenty there to keep you busy! Happy reading.

A successful bookstore owner saying 'i don't know what this means' about a financial term is more encouraging than all the bookstore videos I've watched combined.

you need to read The History of Sound: Stories by Ben Shattuck!!!

congrats on a year of sunny’s!! i really loved exposure by olivia sudjic, i think you’ll find it interesting!!

If you're looking for book podcasts - Gays Reading is great!! :)

Big congratulations on 1 year of Sunny's!

Song of Solomon is my FAVE Toni Morrison book! 💚✨💚✨

Happy first bday to Sunny's!!!!!! 🎉 huge congrats to YOU and the family (and maggie of course)

Congrats on one yr of Sunnys!!! The blurb for The Coin is so misleading. I was offered it on NG and gave it a whirl on the premise and I really didn't like it. Won't say more as I dont want to put you off. await your thoughts , Currently reading a few titles including Sarah Rose Etters Book of X and Pedro Almodovars The Last Dream... Just fnished Scaffolding by Lauren Elkin.x

congrats on 1 year of the bookstore! YEEHAW! 🤠 the outro to this is so iconic it's so hard finding the perfect thumbnail AHHH

Hi CJ! The discord link on the Sunny’s website says it’s expired. Are you able to send a link?

Zomg. I could rant about Brat for daaaaays. And I ordered the US edition cos the UK cover is horrendous, though now I know that’s apt. I enjoyed Bear, it wasn’t quite what I expected but enjoyed. I am looking forward to The Coin. House is looking gorg. And advance happy birthday to Sunny’s 🥳 also then ending of this video, iconic.

saw the video last night in my sub box and now I'm watching it while drinking coffee and it's the best! glad to hear from you and your house looks super cozy! good luck with the pool I think that's a great idea when you were talking about turning the concrete yard into a more green space I was just nodding along like jaa great idea! soo cool! I've once started reading freedom (funnily the same blue uk version) but never made it past like page 300 even though I liked it... I think I need to pick it up again as well

I’m reading three Irish books The Coast Road by Alan Murrin The Alternatives by Caolinn Hughes Wild Houses by Colin Barrett

Congratulations on one year of the bookstore .🎉📚📖📕🥳
