No book festival trip is complete without a side trip to a bookstore. Luckily Columbus is home to one of the most unique bookstores we’ve visited so far. I have already been to The Book Loft before but for Laura this was a new experience. Same for my sister and her little nugget (my nephew). […]
I am always looking for a new way to find books. I have more books than I know what to do with, but it is an addiction. So even when I go on vacation, I cannot resist looking for books! Recently, I went to Nashville for the Southern Festival of Books (Cinda Williams Chima handed […]

The area is pretty well-to-do and great for shopping but Main Street holds the real jewel. The Learned Owl. Learned Owl is a gorgeous shop filled with books of all kinds. With the local library […]
