I think owning a bookstore would be fabulous myself. Love love love bookstores.

We no longer have a local bookstore either sadly, but the smells and feels of any bookstore or library are two of my favorite things. Nothing else matches them.
@CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @evamarie I haven't been in a bookstore in years. Borders closure was one step, then needing to read on a Kindle was step two. But I have fond memories.

They are one of the best things, but the closest one to me is now an hour away. I still have the library though. But even it isn't even like the one I grew to love as a kid.

That’s heartbreaking. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t live near a bookstore.
Bratt has two mom/pop bookstores — one I go to at least once a month — and there’s a Barnes & Noble in both Hadley and Holyoke.

I miss it. We had a mom and pop one too for a long time, but it shut down before Covid. 😢

Bookstores in my area closed, but I used to spend hours in them, sitting on the floor, skimming through books. It was quiet and relaxing. And the smell! ❤️
