I’ve always had a little dream of owning a bookstore. In my dream, it doubles as a coffee/tea shop and it’s called “Noveltea.” There would be used books (and new ones, too), one-of-a-kind stationery and cards, homemade muffins and cookies, weekly reading sessions. And, if I could swing it, I would steal this bookstore’s idea:
Because, really, it’s all about the joy of reading…and extending that joy to whoever else wants it.
On a related note:
Check out this interesting article about how independent bookstores continue to flourish in France while many crash and burn here in the U.S.
Spoiler alert: The government is involved.
Aw, you should go for it. I’d hang out in your bookstore.
I often dream that once I’m old and retired that i’ll do this as a way to pass my books on to others. Obviously not the ones I’ll pass on to my family, but the thousands of others I’ll own at least.
I went to a bookstore like that in Corsica. Super awesome. Enough to move there 😉
