For me, going into a bookstore is like traveling down Alice’s rabbit hole, the unexpected and magical are around every corner. Bookstores emanate a feeling of serenity, while at the same time unleashing excitement for new thoughts and ideas- it’s where new dreams come alive. As the age of online shopping dominates our pocket books let’s not forget to support and frequent our local treasure troves of the written word.
