When I walk into a bookstore, any bookstore, first thing in the morning, I'm flooded with a sense of hushed excitement.

I started reading this memoir, again. My second time reading this. Or is it a third time? 🤔 Anyway, I enjoy this author's take on books and bookstores.

pickAn informative and emotional history of one of my favorite indie bookstore: The King‘s English in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I grew up visiting this store, and it was a true delight to learn how it came to be and how it operates. I really appreciated reading of the difficulties they‘ve dealt with. And many big name authors have visited! Also many, many book lists to peruse and take notes on! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I had the best time with my sister participating in the NEO Indie Bookstore Crawl this weekend. We drove 100+ miles, shopped in 7 stores, went to a Scholastic-style book fair at a music venue, and had fun shopping with friendly readers (my favorite kind of people). I can‘t wait to do it again next year!
pickLast 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
