Welcome to Litsy!

Saved my favorite for last! Black Garnet Books in St Paul is a Black- woman-owned store, stocking books only by authors of color. They promote anti-racism and the uplift of marginalized peoples. I can't say enough about the welcoming atmosphere, the decor, and the 2 fantastic booksellers I met who were quick to talk with me and make recommendations. The shelves were filled with titles/authors that were brand new to me ❤️ #supportindiebookstores

Sixth stop was black garnet a store that started as a pop-up during the pandemic and now has a brick and mortar! Beautiful place with great vibes!
