It's located in a beautiful little square, very clean and inviting. I haven't really talked to them yet because I really am shy with strangers, but I'm hoping to this spring. Jenny, you really ought to come here, you'd love the place and they do pay attention to traveling authors. No need to enter me in the contest, by the way. I've had your book on pre order for months and I just got notice that they'll be mailing it off to me in a day or so. Cannot wait to get it! And keep on doing what you're doing, Jenny.

Much better than Disneyland. And I'm so excited about COVER OF SNOW finally launching. Hurray! I'm really looking forward to reading it.<br /><br />I don't remember bookstores when I was a kid, either. It was always the library for me. We were poor. But the library was such a gift.<br /><br />My favorite local bookstore is our newest, Mysteryscape. Two smart young women own it and are so supportive of authors and community. It's the meeting place for our local chapter of Sisters in Crime, Border Crimes.<br /><br />Of course, in the Kansas City area we are lucky enough to still have several great indies, though we've lost some along the way. Reading Reptile is a fantastic children's bookstore. Rainy Day Books is one of the great independent bookstores in the country. The Raven in nearby Lawrence is super. Prospero's is a small local chain of used bookstores that's active in the local literary community. And we still have six or so Barnes & Nobles and a BookAMillion. So we're quite lucky, compared to lots of other locales.<br /><br />(I'm covering my mouth as I have these coughing spasms so I will not give my flu to any of my JRW friends.

I hid out in the library when all my friends turned on me in middle school and I had no one to eat lunch with :( We couldn't afford books often when I was a kid--I would say both places were equally magical and essential. Thank you for thinking our kids are lucky. I do worry sometimes. "Mommy, what's a roller coaster?" but they know what an ISBN number is :)<br /><br />Karen, your adult bookstore road trip has a champion already--Larry Portzline in PA.
