There’s a mystery book store down the street.
I have never been inside, but I like the idea of a mystery book store. It’s cute, but how does it compete with the Barnes & Nobles of the world?

May 20, 2011 at 10:20 pmThere’s a science fiction bookstore near where I used to live that I’d go to over Barnes and Noble for the same reason as Laura. They had a much better selection and I could just browse for hours or just randomly pick a book out and it was good. I actually prefer stores like that to Barnes and Noble who tend to have only the most recent book of any series and half of the time don’t have the one I’m looking for.
