Dear friends, customers, and followers of Mary Beth Nebel and I Know You Like a Book:

Mary Beth Nebel, the proprietor of I Know You Like a Book bookstore, peacefully passed in grace and love on July 6, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. Lawyer, entrepreneur, leader in her business community, patron of the arts, world traveler, and advocate for free speech through the beauty of a well-written book, Mary Beth, in her words ‘lived an amazing life’. She had two great loves: her son Tim, who brought her more joy and laughter than anyone could, and her bookstore, a place where people could wander and wonder through the stories and ideas that filled the bookshelves.

We will celebrate her on July 19, 2023 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 6001 N. University Street, Peoria, Illinois. Church visitation at 9:30am followed by the funeral Mass at 10:00am.

‘And did you get what�you wanted from this life, even so?�I did.�And what did you want?�To call myself beloved, to feel myself�beloved on the earth.’

Raymond Carver

In case you’re wondering, I’ve had some heart issues lately. I’m getting good care at Loyola Medical and I’m getting better. I don’t know when I’ll be able to open the bookstore. Meantime, say a prayer, count your blessings and keep reading
