Author Charlotte Harter published a great post about bookstores. Honestly: I’ve never been in a bookstore I didn’t like. How about you?
Ah, yes. Bookstores. Remember those? They were great. But does anyone actually go to them anymore? In an age where everything is digital, it’s hard to keep the bookstores alive. But guess what? We have to. And here’s why.

Every time we see a new bookstore pop up in Atlanta we wonder: do they make money?? We believe when coupled with other things they can, like coffee.
Like this said, a lot of them have really upped their marketing game. There’s one called Interrang, if memory serves, that does a decent job at marketing on social media.
Book stores and libraries should be kept alive, if for no other purpose, for indie authors!

I agree. I discovered a few cute and wonderful old book stores and didn’t get out there for hours.

That’s great!
One just popped up in an area with bars and restaurants. Still keeping an eye on it, to see how well it may or may not do in the near. future.

As soon as I spot a bookstore the gravitational pull takes hold and I find myself inside grabbing an armful and pulling out the wallet.

I’m not a fan of digital books. I want paper pages in my hand. The smell, the thrill of turning a page, the bookmark……… My husband works at a bookstore. He’s been working at bookstores for 37 years.

I love bookstores. I too love paper books. My Kindle reader is very useful when it comes to traveling. I just take this tiny thing and I’m covered for the entire vacation.
But I’d never take the device with me reading in the bathtub. 🙂
