We have lived in Cute Little Town for seven years now. We are very happy here other than the fact that we miss living close to a few amenities that were within easy driving distance when we lived in Big City. The one thing we have lamented over and over again is the lack of a cozy bookstore.

And then the longing of our hearts was answered.

We discovered this weekend a couple has opened an independent bookstore in Cute Little Town. We stopped in on Saturday as soon as we learned about it and each of us bought a book to celebrate. Yes, it is more expensive than ordering from Amazon, but I don’t care. I have longed for a bookstore to hang out in on a rainy day or snowy day. I want to do my part to make sure they are successful and here for as long as I live in Cute Little Town.

In case you were wondering, I bought A Book That Takes Its Time. David purchased 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Caroline got Mr. Popper’s Penguins and Swing It, Sunny.

Words cannot express how thrilled we are to have a bookstore just a few minutes away that we can visit whenever we want rather than the half hour ordeal we’ve had to drive to a big chain store.

Seriously.

It’s life-changing. LOL!
