Welcome to Litsy!

St. Louis bookstore #3 was Left Bank Books, and it was a great one! Again, it had a fantastic selection, great staff recommendation cards, fun bookish merchandise, and this one has lots of seating throughout! It was an inviting, stay-as-long-as-you-want atmosphere. The booksellers were super accommodating, too! It's in a cool, historic building, and the store has a long history of community involvement and civic action. #supportindiebookstores

I spent a long weekend in St. Louis, and Day 1 was all about bookstores and food! We made it to 3 indie bookstores, and this is my haul: 8 books, 2 t-shirts, 1 tote bag, 1 mug, and some great bookmarks! My heart is full ❤️

1) Nabokov
2) Impossible to choose one. I have a handful of favorites (Heart is A Lonely Hunter, Confederacy of Dunces, Slaughterhouse 5, Invisible Man, etc)
3) The Strand is my favorite I've ever visited, but as far as bookstores I can realistically visit once or twice a year it's the tagged one.
4) Poe stories, also the Sherlock & Shirley Jackson stories.
5) Silence. Good Omens.
6) A legitimate reason to believe in reincarnation.
7) The Shire.👇

I‘m in St. Louis for a few days for meetings. I decided this was a great excuse to stop by Left Bank Books, and after some book browsing and shopping, we went across the street to Pi Pizzeria for supper.
