Also the bookmark poll just reminded me that I got my spouse two books for Christmas but I bought them while out shopping with the friend we were staying with in New England, and the only reasonable bookstore to get to was Barnes and Noble, and I forgot to take out the little "Join our rewards club!" slip from the receipt they'd tucked into the book, so he opens it up to read it and went, "GASP. You went to Barnes and Noble? BETRAYAL."

This is how genuinely ride or die my household is for indie bookstores.

#listen I didn't buy them off of amazon and in this day and age that's REALLY what matters #man I loved hay on wye but I will say. I did not get the sense that the uk has the indie shop branded bookmark trend. and I missed it.#I LOVE a lil branded bookstore bookmark! it's like getting a fun bandaid after a shot or an 'I voted' sticker #not intrinsically necessary to the experience but a delight when it happens #but legit at home the closest bookstore is the absolute GOAT of indie bookstores so like. I literally do not ever go anywhere else.#however I should get to the little poetry shop downtown again. it was fucking awesome.#I LOVE a poetry specific bookstore. there are not enough of them.#also a fan of left bank books on pike but like. do I ever want to be on pike. no.#(that's not true I will stroll the market on occasion but it's rare at this point)
