This year I fell in love with reading again, and it all started with seeing this postcard at my favorite coffee shop/bookstore, Book Eaters. I live in Rochester, NY and was delighted to find so many cool bookstores and pick up a ton of new books.

A few highlights if you're local - the Unreliable Narrator is my favorite bookstore, I am thrilled we have a romance only store that just opened up (Burn Bright Books), and Siren and the Sea is another Book Eater with a lovely selection of books.

Do you have any events like this in your town?

What is your favorite shop like?

Do you have any book store coffee shop combos?

Is that sealing wax as a store stamp?

... I should open a bookstore.

    Yesterday's Muse is one of my favorite bookstores! I wasn't in Rochester for too long but I got to stop by there. So cozy and they have a lot of stuff to look at. I specifically remember finding a biography about Teddy Roosevelt there, which was published in 1904 when he was president.

    Hello fellow book crawler! There is a book crawl in San Diego and I’ve picked up the limited edition champion mug 3 of my 4 years participating. I love book crawls and it’s always so busy!
