Find my BWL books here!
Is there any place more magical than a bookstore at Christmas? I am so lucky to live in Vermont, where independent bookstores abound. I can walk to a wonderful one in my town -- Village Square Booksellers. Yes, it's straight out of a Hallmark movie, as you can see! It's presided over by the wonderful Myles, a local young man who recently purchased the store after working there with the previous owners, Alan and Pat, who are heading into a busy, community-serving retirement.
A bounty of holiday gift ideas

On a recent visit I found a perfect book of poetry and illustrations, and a short story collection of New England ghost tales for my sons, some travel-ready easy reading chapter books for my grandchild to read to me on our upcoming car ride to Lego Land, and some delicious Christmas Tea for our visiting guests as we gather around the fireplace.
What books will you be gifting to loved ones?
Blessings of the Season of Light, dear readers, and a joyous year ahead for you and yours.
Wonderful pictures. Bookstores are a disappearing breed in the Phoenix area. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you the very best for this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteBookstores are nearly not where I live. Only Barnes and Noble ones are found. There are two in town. One is a jumble of books. The other though looks good, the owner doesn't pay you when he sells your books that you've left with him.
ReplyDeleteBook stores, libraries... all delightful sanctuaries for the soul :)
