    I normally support book stores but the staff here was so openly immature and rude with each other that I left in five minutes.

    Please write about the most experienced, professional, personable and CARING orthopedic Surgeon…read morethat I have ever known in the last 50 years when I have had 17 major orthopedic surgeries from 10 different providers. I met Dr. Joseph Serino in 2025 after I had experienced the second failure of my left artificial knee. I went to two other Surgeons prior to learning about Dr. Serino on the internet. The first two Surgeons declined to tell me what was wrong with my knee and declined to treat me stating that I was too "High Risk" for a third total knee replacement and a history of past surgical infections. I learned about Dr. Serino on the internet. The information that I found indicated that he specialized in very difficult knee, hip and bone fracture surgical cases as well as "routine cases". Dr. Serino saw me and within five minutes looked at the x-rays and told me that the knee implant was loose and damaging the shin bone. So I needed a third Total Knee Replacement. He went on to say that he could and would repair this problem for me. The Doctor described the procedure in detail, went over all the risks and articulated a mitigation strategy for each risk factor. Dr. Serino replaced my knee in 12/25 and the surgery was totally successful with no complications. The recovery was smooth and quicker then I had ever experienced in previous surgeries. The Doctor operated on me again in 02/26 for an unrelated tendon tear that I did in the gym. Again, a flawless surgery with no complications. Why do I think that you should write about Dr. Serino? The most professional, technically "cutting edge", personable and a superb patient communicator. The best I have met in 50 years with 17 orthopedic surgeries. * Extremely responsive. Responds to messages and phone calls within a couple of hours at most. * The most extensive, risk mitigated pre-op procedure that I have ever experienced. * On his own, he called me three times after each surgery to check on me. * Very punctual, I have never waited to see him in his office more than 20 minutes. Afforded me all the time that I needed at each appointment. * Dr. Serino is new to the DMV area and already is amassing a significant patient base. He sees patients in Columbia, Fulton, Catonsville and Eldersburg. He operates at Saint Agnes Hospital as they have the most up to date and modern joint replacement programs and a very effective infection prevention protocol. * Bottom line: Dr. Joseph Serino genuinely CARES about his patients. You can tell that in every word and action that he takes. I will tell you for certain that He is extraordinary in every sense and much much different (positively) than any other Doctor I have ever known. I truly believe that there are many people in our area who have difficult orthopedic cases that Dr. Serino could help.

    I visited this location with my husband knowing exactly what we were looking for. We browsed for a…read morebit looking for a book that was featured on the BAM website but couldn't find it in what we assumed was the correct location, so I decided to ask an elderly female employee for assistance. When I told her what book I was looking for she said "oh" while rolling her eyes a lead me to it. She handed it to me and started walking away while I was thanking her for her help. I could feel the attitude radiating off of her because of my book choice. I laughed it off and continued to browse a bit more. Eventually we got in line behind another customer. The same elderly woman opened another register to assist the customer in front of us. Naturally we started looking at the products that are in the check out area while we waited. The customer that was in front of us had an issue and left so it was our turn. The elderly woman proceeded to wave over the female customer behind us and she said that we were in front of her. We kindly insisted that she just go ahead and check out and we'll wait for the other employee further down. Then the elderly woman rudely said "come on, put your stuff here" and then decided to tell the customer behind us that the line starts where she's standing and that there should be blinking red lights signally that the line starts there. At that point it was VERY clear that she had an issue with us because of the book we were purchasing and tried to insinuate that we were stupid. Fine, you have a personal opinion but you are at work and are supposed to be providing good customer service regardless of your personal opinions. At no point were we rude or passive aggressive so her attitude was very uncalled for. Feeling done with the situation, I handed her my book and she hurried through our interaction. We kept our cool and were respectful, she asked if we wanted a bag and we declined and then she gave us our receipt and I told her to have a blessed day and once again talked over me. I will not be visiting this location ever again. Thanks Jodi for your terrible customer service.

    It's so refreshing to see a local bookstore that truly cares about its curation and being apart of…read morethe community. As stated on their website, "We take pride in being more than just a bookstore. We are a vibrant community hub, hosting events, book clubs, and providing personalized reading services that deepen your connection with stories and fellow book lovers. We believe that everyone can find themselves in the pages of a book, and we're here to help you on that journey." You can clearly see that mission reflected as you walk around the store. The book selection, displays, and merchandise all demonstrate thoughtful attention to detail. Everything is well organized, making it easy to browse, and the staff is knowledgeable and happy to help with finding the right selection or suggesting information about upcoming events. They also offered to order certain books to store if they were not on the shelf! In regard to community outreach, their social media pages clearly communicate upcoming events and highlight their wide variety of book clubs. I attended the Dark Romance Book Club and was please with how well the store facilitated the discussion, especially given the large size of the group. Coming in for the meeting, chairs had already been placed out in a circle for members to sit. The conversation was engaging and well organized with employees asking questions that had clearly been researched beforehand. My only complaint is that parking can be scarce during busy hours such as book club events, particularly after snowfall when available spaces are more limited. Overall, I love visiting this bookstore. It has a lovely charm and a makes a wonderful connection with its customers. It is an asset to our local community as a small hub. I look forward to seeing how their small business grows. I felt comfortable to ask followup questions - I love to talk!

    Having just left a conversation about Spider-man with fellow teenager, Peter Parker, Mary Jane…read moreWatson, after reluctantly being made Homecoming Queen, is surprised to find her tempestuous best friend, Liz Allan, who deeply coveted that title, waiting for her in front of her home. "I decked Flash...He wouldn't shut up and, without even thinking, I balled up my fist and...Principal Gorbert chewed us out. Said we were a bunch of selfish brats. Said tonight was for everyone, and we ruined it." Moments later, with tears running down her eyes, Liz makes a startling confession. "I care about you so much. You're my best friend, my sister. I try to think of what my life would be like without you in it, and it makes me sick inside." Liz pauses. "Your popularity and success, it's all great. It's what you deserve. I should be happy for you, right? And, I mean, in a way, I am, but...I needed desperately to be Homecoming Queen. Not because I am trying to feel superior to anyone, or because I have it coming to me. I needed it so...so maybe I could stop feeling like...I hate you." Eventually, the panels of the fourth issue of Sean McKeever and Takeshi Miyazawa's Mary Jane: Homecoming miniseries end in complete silence--with the two lifelong friends each riding one of the adjacent swings Liz seized for them in elementary school, but the words that Liz spoke before are what spark the imagination and trigger empathy, regret, anger, and love. Sentences in the best-written novels, mysteries, fantasies, speculative histories, and gothic horror do that too; and there is no better place to discover new sequences of words that will linger in your memory than Queen Takes Book, located at 6955 Oakland Mills Road in Columbia, Maryland. There, the friendly service will welcome you as if to the sparking embers of a fireplace in which only your imaginations are lit.
