Enjoying my break from school with a little book shopping! Top book is the next selection for our faculty book club, and the bottom one fits perfectly with my week on Afro/Africanfuturism in my World Lit class in the spring semester.

A bookstore opened in my town! Best day of 2023 hands down! A really good selection of books, diverse authors, solid sci-fi/fantasy, poetry and a lot of good romance authors mixed in with the fiction section. #shoplocal

My bank: Buying books seems to be becoming a pay day ritual these day's.
Me: But I live so close to a independent book shop.
My bank: Maybe ready some one the ones you bought last month.....
Me: Be careful how you speak to me! My best friends and past loves are in them book's, all I have to do is open them and call my army!

This is a new little book shop in our town!! I went in today for the first time and love it! They are planning to have a book club too! I‘m really excited! The only thing that I wasn‘t crazy about is that the books are arranged by color 🤪 NOT alphabetically by author‘s last name! But that‘s just me being ocd!! Can‘t wait to shop here! I‘ll post my purchase from today next!

Prairiegirl_reading In a book store that‘s a bit ridiculous in my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
merelybookish That's so fun to have a new local bookstore! And I would also be annoyed that it was organized by colour. 😆 2y
5feet.of.fury Yeah, I‘ve seen color order in a flea market, an I accept that because it‘s much easier to redo the books that way once they get picked over… but in a bookstore… idk 2y

UwannaPublishme What a cool store! But the color coding must go. 🤪 2y
KathyWheeler I‘m curious if the owners have worked in a bookstore before, and I‘m really interested to see if they can sustain this color coding thing. It‘s not user friendly. 2y
Jas16 I don‘t think I could shop in a store organized by color. 2y
kspenmoll Excited for you! I agree with everyone, books by color, not in alphabetical order & not by genre would drive me away! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @merelybookish it is!! I‘m glad someone agrees!! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @5feet.of.fury agreed!! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @UwannaPublishme yes!! They need me to work there! 🤣🤣 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @KathyWheeler they haven‘t… I would love to give some “recommendations.” They have coffee, snacks, and games. I was just telling William the same thing. I hope they make it! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jas16 they had some cute things, but the books were on the high side. Hopefully they will make it! 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @kspenmoll I‘ll try to buy from there as I can, but that was really annoying and the books were more than they cost on Amazon or other places! 2y
ImperfectCJ I'm not sure it's ocd to want to know how to find a book. But if someone comes in asking for a title can they find it? If so, then maybe this is an interesting way to encourage browsing. (I'm not personally a fan, but trying to be open-minded.) 2y
KathyWheeler @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope they do too. It looks like a cool store, aside from the color coding. As a librarian, I‘ve had my share of people asking me about a book they read when the only thing they could remember was the color and a vague description, but it‘s not a practical way to shelve books. 2y
TheSpineView It would never work for me. However, I do applaud you for shopping local. So hard in times like this when inflation effects you so deeply. 2y
TheLudicReader Although it might be aesthetically pleasing, it is also wtf? 2y
Sleepswithbooks I‘m so envious!!!! 📚📚📚📚📚 2y

Stopped in at our local book shop today and picked up these two books. I thought another Kristin Harmel book would be a good pick since I loved her last one. Hadn't heard of The Last Beekeeper but thought I'd give it a shot. It's a very small book shop so choices are somewhat limited.

I haven‘t 100% decided on my goal for the #awesomeapril #readathon with @Andrew65 but I plan to finish 3 books I think! On day 1 I am doing a Charlotte NC book crawl so most of that day will involve buying books, so my goal that day is to buy one book from each Indie bookstore! #shoplocal

DGRachel I thought about taking a couple of vacation days to do the book crawl at a leisurely pace, but then I looked at the stacks of unread books that I don‘t have shelf space for and thought maybe I should skip it this year. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 2y
BarkingMadRead @DGRachel I‘ve never done it, so I‘m pretending my unread books don‘t exist 🤣🤣 2y
DGRachel Have fun!! 2y
