YES! I do agree! I love all bookshops.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect answer. Thanks for stopping by, Tonya.
ReplyDeleteI am a bookshop haunter. I have to visit every indi shop we find while travelling because you'll never know what treasure you can find. I totally enjoyed Molly's new book and am looking forward to the next one in this new Scottish Bookshop series.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Nora. I'll pass them along to Molly. And if you're ever in Scotland, please do make your way to Inversgail. You won't be sorry, and we'll be happy to see you at Yon Bonnie Books.
DeleteI have had the pleasure of reading this book. First, I love all bookshops and this one makes me want to walk in the door find a book and sit under one of those lamps. The book is terrific and the ladies are creating a destination where one can read and possibly have a snack right next door or even better rent a room upstairs and never leave.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you've made me cry, Annette - but in a very good way. Thank you! Our B&B rooms are open, now, and we'd love to have you stay. Thank you for stopping by the blog today.
DeleteThank you for introducing me to Yon Bonnie Books.
ReplyDeleteWe had a good independent bookstore named Thackeray's (after the writer) here in Toledo but it closed around 2005. I guess it closed because Borders was opening a few miles away at the mall and Barnes & Noble was also across from the mall. Scottish Cats, the book pictured, caught my eye even though I'm not into poetry.
