I Absolutely Love Bookstores

Not too long ago I stopped at this new place I came across that was a bookstore and convenience store all wrapped into one. It was the stereotypical messy looking bookstore that almost makes you feel claustrophobic. Piles of books on sale stacked up on a table right next to shelves of junk food and the soda/beer cooler. Can't say I've ever seen this sort of combination store before. The only thing I found a bit on the disappointing side was the main book section of the store. Sure it had that messy look you love in a dive sort of book store. But apparently the owner is a bit on the particular side as the books were completely sorted and reasonably organized. It was too easy to find anything. It kind of took away the fun of digging through and finding any sort of gem. Ehh still a place I'd go back to though.

Do they have spaces where you could just sit and read? I love stores like those. My dream used to be to own a store like that.

@SW-User This place barely had room to stand and the vibe I was getting from the clerk behind the front counter wasn't exactly one that said "Sure, make yourself comfortable." as much as it said "Get out so I can go smoke a cigarette."

@SW-User meh, not my kinda store then. they probably arranged the books in an organised manner so that you'd get out of there faster 😅
