Welcome to Litsy!

Last year, for my birthday, I got my 4th round of chemo 😔. Needless to say, my birthday was a bust. This year, to make up for it, my husband took me on a bookstore tour in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We hit 5 bookstores, including this gem: Story Line Books, housed in St. Paul's Union Depot. With a subtle train theme, the charm of the historic train station, and a wonderfully curated selection, this was a great stop! #supportindiebookstores

EXCITING NEWS!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Stay tuned for more details on location! It‘s going to be epic and I‘m so pumped for her 🥰🥰🥰@LiteraryinLawrence

Lately I am in the mood for non fiction. The bookstore book is really a philosophy book in disguise. Loving it so far

Hit a couple of bookstores today with my visiting "other" daughter. Always a good time when she visits ?

Happy 20k @BennettBookworm my fave local bookstore is the Book Rack, it‘s a recycled reading store and they have an insane number of cozy mysteries! My fave bookstore that I‘ve traveled to is Books on Bay, in Savannah. They have Nancy Drew books, and the Hardy Boys etc and the owner is so fun to talk to! They lost their lease though, and have to move 😢

A new BookPage and our local indie‘s holiday gift guide to browse with my morning coffee. Tagged is recommended in the nonfiction section. Might need to add it to my Christmas list!

Books from my recent trip to B&N!!

I was in Columbus for a soccer tournament this weekend and had the pleasure of spending some time browsing in this wonderful book store. Loved the set up with all the little rooms…could have stayed all day.

How can I NOT add this to my #TBR stack??

Visited my favorite indie bookstore. Missed Frank the #shopcat but did get a couple books, so that‘s good. 😊

"Good bookstores reflect their communities, exceptional bookstores both reflect and create their communities." Deutsch is an inspirational force in the bookselling industry and his new book is a wonderful read featuring some promisingly fresh perspectives on the indie bookstore movement. "The good bookstore sells books, but its primary product, if you will, is the browsing experience."

Seriously, why isn‘t this a thing??

Oh I‘m definitely an idler crossed with the devotee and a little town crier thrown in for good measure ! And you …?
