Cute little bookstore. Very spacious and seems like a great place for events. They had a nice selection of newly released books, but I found their overall selection to be a bit underwhelming.

Though my time was brief, the store was amazing and a big shout out to Chris for working with local authors and supporting me with my debut novella, A KINGDOM FOR A FOOL by J. Dorson.

Great book selection. They seem to always have events going on.
