Hi Jess - the book shops look wonderful - so bright, cheerful and welcoming. I've been reading lots of historical books across the eras - related to Africa, as well as the world we have known for 2,000 + years ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Hi Hilary- We love the book shops. Each one is a delight! Sounds like you have been doing a lot of fascinating reading! :) ~Jess and Stephanie
Delete*sigh* I wish I had an indie on Long Island. The only one here only does celeb signings. I miss my old indie from when I was a kid. they closed down when I Was about 10 or so and it broke my heart!
ReplyDeleteBeth Ellyn Summer- It is so sad when indie book stores close. We hope another one opens up near you soon. ~Jess and Stephanie

DeleteSounds such lovely place to spend time!
ReplyDeleteRomance Reader- Definitely! ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteI love the Little House series too. We don't have an Indie book store locally. We used to but it didn't last. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteBeverly- the Little House books remind us of when we were little. Half Pint was the best! So sorry to hear you don't have any local indie bookstores near you. ~Jess and Stephanie

DeleteWhat great pictures! The only bookstore I have by me is BAM. The staff is amazing there. I love them. I wish we had more locally owned bookstores, though.
ReplyDeleteKelly- Thanks! Visiting bookstores is a wonderful treat. Glad to hear you have a bookstore near you where the staff is amazing. ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteSo glad you're supporting the indies. At my recent SCBWI conference, I volunteered to help set up the bookstore and got to work alongside those magnificent women. They are SO much fun...and they love books! You don't really see that enthusiasm from chain bookstore workers.
ReplyDeleteStephanie- We love indie bookstores. :) How awesome you were able to work alongside some of the sellers at the SCBWI conference. Awesome! They really know their books. ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteGreat giveaway. Indies need all the support we can give them.

ReplyDeletePatty- We agree! Fun to visit for sure! ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteHello DMS. Books and bookshops! I wanted to lick this post! What a generous offer! I have a flourishing bookstore/cafe near me, where I spend so much time drinking coffee, writing, and buying great books. :-)
ReplyDeleteDenise- You crack us up! So awesome to hear you have such a fantastic bookstore/cafe near your house. Sounds like a delightful place to spend the day. ~Jess and Stephanie

Rachel- Glad to hear you at least have some indies to visit that aren't too far away. ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteWonderful post, that children's book display looks amazing. Who could fail to be drawn in by it?
ReplyDeleteTracy- We love the display too! So enchanting! ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteThose are such quaint looking book stores! Unfortunately, there aren't many like them left. The big stores like Barnes and Noble have put them out of business.
ReplyDeleteSherry- Quaint bookstores are such treats to explore. Of course, having any bookstores to explore is a definite must! We are lucky in that CT has a lot of indie bookstores still holding strong. ~Jess and Stephanie
DeleteI love indie book shops. There seems to be not too many left. The ambience in such book shops is so much different from brand ones.
ReplyDeleteHugs!:))
ToTylkoJa- You are so right! The ambiance in independent bookstores can't be beat. Love them! ~Jess and Stephanie

ReplyDeleteDavid- Definitely! ~Jess and Stephanie
