Watching Someone Read One of My Books, Interesting

At the Crystal City 2600 Crystal Drive Starbucks I saw a guy reading Suki I just a little while ago. Was interesting, bordering on thrilling, as I glanced his direction and saw him turn a page with a look of interest on his face. He read it for several minutes.  I never anticipated any thoughts or feelings I might have if I saw someone reading one of my books.

Looks like others enjoyed Suki With A Twist: Part One and Suki IV: Finally A Vacation enough to walk away with them.

The Concord Starbucks, as it is known currently, is the one that inspired #OpBookDrop by Ami Hendrickson, on Twitter.  Actually, that man was reading the book that I left that day. It is also a location in Suki I that the couple visits on an early date. The pictures below are recent at that location.
"Cafe with the fireplace" from "Suki I", where John and Suki relax the morning after their first date.
I have the location loosely described as two blocks away "near 28th Street" in 2030s Crystal City.

In the right side of the picture, on the table between the fireplace and the man with his legs crossed, can be seen copies of "Suki I" and "Suki With A Twist: Part One." Noted on Twitter under #OpBookDrop (operation book drop).

Photos of other locations from the books and other area pictures are here.
