I had a b-day weekend recently, and my choice for a weekend getaway was Northhampton, MA. Why? Because I recently learned that Kelly Link opened a bookstore in neighboring Easthampton in 2019 called Book Moon, which was just as delightful as I imagined. Kelly co-runs Small Beer press, so I parked myself in front of that shelf for over an hour and picked out 2 story collections and an anthology. The staff were lovely, and my fiancee was patient! 😄

Billypar @squirrelbrain @MaGoose @Ruthiella @BarbaraBB @dabbe @LeahBergen @Bookwomble Thanks! It was a pretty great day - definitely a must visit area for book lovers given how many book shops there are. 2w
Billypar @sarahbarnes Thanks! Part of me was thinking, 'maybe I'll happen to visit when she's by to check in on the store?', but I didn't get that lucky, lol 2w
Billypar @Jess Thanks! We mostly stayed in Northhampton since it's bigger and also has great book shop options. But Easthampton has a small downtown area that I would also like to spend more time in on the next visit (which I'm already planning, naturally). 2w
Billypar @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I noticed when I was posting this that you have the only other Litsy review! I loved it: not only was it a warm and cozy space, but it also had a damn good selection for a small shop. 2w
Reggie Happy belated birthday! 2w
Billypar Thanks @Reggie ! 😀 2w

Very busy work week in Western Massachusetts but I did find a little time to visit a few bookstores.

Top stack from Odyssey Books in South Hadley. Right by Mount Holyoke, they sell merch for the college & highlight books from school professors & alumni. A good selection of popular books & a bookcase dedicated to translated works.

Bottom stack from Book Moon in Easthampton. Small store, large variety, with a special section for Small Beer ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Press books, such as the bottom two. Located in a cute downtown area with hip little stores. This was my favorite.

I also visited Booklink Booksellers at Thornes Marketplace in Northampton. This had the most popular selection, some sale books, and I finally bought a physical copy of The Prisoner of Heaven by CRZ because I have it on audio CD & borrowed an ebook from the library. It's time I owned a copy.

TheBookHippie Oh dear, the letter I sent you got mailed back to me because I forgot to put your apartment number. I am so sorry I will resend it had your valentine in it. Oops. 2y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @TheBookHippie No worries! It'll just be a random surprise. My building has 22 apt and a few ground floor businesses. Everyone's mail ends up in our lobby. They could've just left it there like everything else & it would've found its way. 2y
