Welcome to Litsy!

Part 1/10 of today‘s home-library tour! ☺️

Do you own, or have you read, any of these?

#MrBooksBooks

My wife and I just returned from a West Coast trip and spent a few days in #Bellingham, WA to stay with my cousin. We visited #hendersonbooks, the second most awesome used bookstore I have ever visited. Sooooo many books, so well organized...if you are in the area it is a must-see!

#landmarksofmycity How could I NOT post this? And it‘s MY shot! I got up before dawn, around the time the #Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl (hence the Space Needle being lit up blue and green, with the 12 flag on top) to get this. Taken with a specialty lens called a LensBaby that gives the effect you see. It‘s one of my favorites. Taken from the quintessential cityscape viewpoint on Queen Anne at Kerry Park.

Ok Littens! I have a few days in Seattle and I would love some fun suggestions of Bookstore/bookish places to visit! Thank you!

#RiotGrams Day Five #somethingmagical Seattle Public Library (downtown location). One of my favourite places. #seattlepubliclibrary @bookriot

Meet Kim and Emma of Elliott Bay and the @DrunkBooksellers podcast. You do listen to Drunk Booksellers, don't you? Because there's drinking, and books. #getindie

Cozy arm chairs, new and used books all nestled together on shelves, a bakery, coffee - Third Place Books in Seattle is everything I have ever wanted in a bookstore. #getindie #shoplocal #litsyfeature #allroadsleadtobargainbooks

As Paul Constant writes in his review, included as the closing entry in this book about the literary life of Seattle, this is "a terrific idea I've never seen done before." This will hold appeal for a segment of local readers who enjoy backstory as much as the writing itself.

Short pieces by Puget Sound writers, random interesting stuff (e.g.--Jim Lynch used to write while working nights at parking booth),all possibly more interesting to locals than others. Fun.
