How are you doing? If you celebrate Christmas, are you getting into the holiday mood already? Here is Spain where I am it’s still quite warm, but I’m about to go to Romania, where I’m from, and really hoping for some snow, also so that my daughter can see snow for the first time in her life. I wanted to quickly record this short episode to tell you about a project I just started very much inspired by my conversations with booksellers on this show. Ever since I started Got Books, almost 3 years ago, I’ve been getting messages from around the world from folks who, like me, dream of one day opening their own bookshop. In my head, these are future bookseller and I hope many of them, myself included, will actually make their dream come true one day. That&#39;s how the idea of the Future Booksellers Club came about! The Future Booksellers Club is a space for those eager to one day drop everything (except their books) and become booksellers. Our online meetups cover topics ranging from naming your shop (and the shop&#39;s resident cat) to the more practical challenges, such as having a physical bookshop in the internet era. Every once in a while, we invite present-day booksellers to come along, so we can learn what it&#39;s really like to manage a bookshop.</p> <p>My hope is that the Future Booksellers Club helps us keep on dreaming of our own bookshop, until we&#39;re ready to open its doors. Our first ever meetup is on January 13, because I don’t believe in bad luck so I’m happy to start something new on the 13th, and it will take place online. If you are a future bookseller,
