Laurie‘s was my first stop of Bookstore Crawl Bingo where I picked up my BINGO card and first stamp. The owner informed me that the local bookstore was 42 years old! My favorite part was this bookend they had featuring banned books.

My very sturdy tote bag from Foyles is worth every pound. And look at the amazing edges of the Miéville book! I might have to shelve it spine in.

I had a girlfriend sleepover weekend downtown at Judy's. Saturday, we fueled up at The Medici so we'd have energy to visit 57th Street Books (indie), Powell's (used), and Open Books (proceeds fund literacy programs). I hit the jackpot! [details in comment] #BookstoreCrawl #BookQuest #BookDragon

Day 17: Take Your Book On A Date—DH was on special work deadline this weekend, so I escaped to a girlfriend's downtown. Upon my return, DH and I had a Half Price Books/dinner/Incredibles 2 date. Tagged book was one of my awesome finds from Saturday's girlfriend bookstore quest. I'm delighted to be able to replace my softcover edition. #RiotGrams #TakeYourBookOnADate #BookstoreCrawl #BookQuest

Outside The Strand are a slew of Specials carts. They go waaaaay back! One could spend an hour or more browsing books OUTSIDE the store before ever setting foot INSIDE it 😂👏🏻. I know, I've done it 😉👍🏻. #bookporn #NYC #bookstorecrawl Tomorrow...pictures of the legendary Rare Book Room! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
