Who loves a bookstore? I do. I grew up reading and LOVING books. Once I really started reading, my parents would always be sure I had a book. I loved mysteries like the Nancy Drew series. My first “real book” was my mom’s Nancy Drew book that she read as a kid. Pretty cool. I was hooked. Sucked in and transformed into a different city/state/country all the while picturing it as I read. #nothingbetter

I love the feel of a book and don’t want to have to depend on battery percentage, etc. for an e-reader. I’ve tried it, it’s not my jam. I’m a paper girl, just like my mom. Some things will never change. (I hope!)

I buy books when I can, but when I’m reading a few thin books here and there (i.e. Christmas books) I head to the library. I save very few books (Where the Crawdad Sings), I usually loan them to friends and then once I’m sure I’m done with them I pass them along. Someone (I don’t know) has a Little Free Library box set up. It was almost empty. I loaded it up. I was happy because if I would have passed by (and hadn’t already read the books) I would have been floored. Hopefully they’re still circulating, ha ha.

We have a super cool bookstore here in Charleston, SC – BUXTON BOOKS, read about it HERE. My husband and I finally had a chance to stop in. It’s a small but stunning bookstore. So if you’re in the area, I highly suggest popping in and checking it out. If you’re not in the area, they do ship and they offer gift cards that can be emailed to the recipient (in case you need something NOW)! Check them out on Instagram!
