    If I were to visit lady Manhattan in the near future, I would want someone like an Ana Wallace, a book sniffer to serenade to me, her sing-songy words raining on me like heavenly pigeon guano from the trees. Best wishes to you And in other news: I love how UA-camrs these days play the part of freelance models for companies and corporate sponsors. Gig economy keeps on getting bigger and better, what do you know!

    As a fellow female bookworm and a supporter of our local libraries and bookstores, as well as a lover of both coffee and pickles, I can attest to everything you’ve said. And while I’m more of a backpack gal, I’m not shy when it comes to rocking a tote bag either, especially when grocery shopping and when paying a visit to the library and bookstore.
    And your energy and humor is what all of us who are in the Northern Hemisphere currently need to lift our spirits through all this Summer heat. Only thing missing for me was the pizza. Nevertheless, I shall give this video a 10/10. In honorable memory of the pizza absence and for everything else. Subscribed!

    Cute Oleg. Tell him we want to see him more. I loved the book cellar and the pickle bookstore. I wish we had places like that. I live in a rural area no bookstores. The nearest city has a Barnes and noble and a McKay’s used bookstore and that’s it. The library about 30 miles away has a book sale the first Saturday of the month. I love the trips. I have never been to New York but I love seeing the different areas. Great video
