Barnes and Noble

I read my books via Kindle soo...
Years ago I went to Barnes and Noble.

Hmmm, maybe Shakespeare and Company in Paris, cause of the fond memories. I used to have a ritual of finding a new book there and eagerly walking over the Seine to Harry's New York Bar to read it over a cocktail.

Can't go wrong with B&N!

That sounds absolutely perfect, Peter, and that’s an experience I’d like to have some day!

There is a second hand bookstore near me that also fosters cats for adoption, so it's got books and cats, basically heaven.

The Strand is awesome! I've never been to Louisville, but Carmichael's is now at the top of my list for whenever I find myself there...

The Book Loft in Columbus, OH is fantastic! It's in an old house with rooms set by genre in a slightly maze like fashion. Always great to sit in the Sci Fi / Fantasy room and look through the titles as The Planets plays in the backgroung.

That sounds awesome! I will definitely make it a point to visit whenever I get back to Columbus. I went to Ohio Wesleyan for undergrad many years ago, so used to be there regularly, but it's been years since I've been back!

Always a very strong choice, Erika!

Twice Told Tales in Seattle and it's not at all because there are cats.

I need to check that place out the next time I'm in Seattle! Elliott Bay Books is my usual Seattle go-to.

There's a store called 'Books are Awesome' that I go to every time I'm in Denver! And Red Stick Reads in Baton Rouge! Also a really great used bookstore is Houston Book Warehouse. Three guesses where that one is. OH and the Haunted Book Shop in Mobile, Alabama was really cool! And they had a cat so. Fabled Books in Waco, they had a Narnia door through a closet with coats and everything that led to their children's section. Everywhere I go I like to find a small local bookstore to go to. I've found some of the best places!

There's a store near I am called Bookrack. They buy and sell used books and I love going there and losing myself in the shelves. I've found quite a few interesting books I might not have picked up if I hadn't found them there! Plus they have a bookshop cat.

What is with all the cats, people?!

Charm City Books has a special place in my heart because they hosted a Shady Hollow murder mystery party last fall.
