It's not the first time I've said this, and it won't be the last. Reading is fundamental to freedom. 💙📚

In the bookshop this morning:

PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.”

CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *

CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Indeed. I'm not sure I remember the first time, but I cringe inwardly every time it happens.

Ah, children. What a delight...

Things you only hear in gaming stores:

"You already have a sword," the customer says to her 4-year old daughter. ⚔️

We are proud to adopt the title of "The Pokemen Shop" as we're known by 7-year-old, Bradley, and also incredibly glad that his mom shared his school assignment with us.

P.S. That illustration of our storefront is like looking in a mirror. Nice job.

We just had the pleasure of meeting 5-month-old Valkyrie whose charm is as big and vibrant as those puppy wiggles. 25/10, would let her drool on our couch again. 🐕

#PetFriendlyBusiness #DogFriendlyMichigan

Valkyrie, a big, brindle mastiff-mix sits politely on the carpet of our front of store area, looking at the camera with an eager smile on her face.

A short behind-the-scenes video of her excitedly nosing the camera after being told to sit but finding the attention too exciting. It's pure puppy chaos and all you can see is her face, nose and her tail waving madly behind her.

Become a hero for literature! This sidewalk chalkboard sign humorously frames book buying as a rescue mission: 'Be a HERO. Rescue books trapped in a bookstore,' and assures you, '* book hoarders are a myth!'"
