Last Saturday was Independent Book Store Day, a day to celebrate small bookstores. I visited 2 indie bookstores that I’d never been to before and thoroughly enjoyed both of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today’s world, where we can order anything online, bookstores aren’t getting the same traffic as they used to. Therefore, Indie Bookstore Day encourages readers to support these small bookstores to help them thrive and continue to serve the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first bookshop I visited was Good On Paper<\/a>. Their shop was so pretty and had such a great collection of books for all ages- kids to young adults to adult\/nonfiction. They also had lots of stationary, with cute journals and pens. It was so nice to check out a new bookshop and I can’t wait to read the book I bought from there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Good on Paper, I visited Kaboom Books<\/a>, a used book store. They had so many books, filling every shelf, on all topics. I loved getting lost in the maze of books, just scanning the shelves. I exited with two books about mythology and have already started reading them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
