Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Indie Bookstore

 This week's topic is ALL about indie bookstore.

Childhood Favorite: Northshire Bookstore

It's grown over the years!

Where I Met SO Many authors:

RJ Julia

A local- ish Bookstore: 

It's always nice to browse here - they've moved from the downtown area

Sherman's in Bar Habor (Where we visit often)

Montgomery and Taggert: CT's first romance bookstore

Top Ten Tuesday: Libraries I want to visit

 This week's topic is all about bookish bucket list items. Recently I talked about author's houses I have visited and author's houses I would like to visit. So today I'm sharing libraries I would like to visit.

Whenever I travel, I try to hit up the local library, so I have seen a lot of libraries.

But here are a few I would love to visit:

Oxford Library:

Radcliff Camera (also Oxford)

Haskell Free Library and Opera House 

This is on the VT/Canada border which is really cool

Scoville Public Library: 

In CT - the first public library in the US - 1803

However, Franklin Public Library in MA was established in 1790 and claims it's the oldest public library in the country after a donation of books from Ben Franklin 

Kansas City Library - just look at those books for the parking garage

JP Morgan Library

To be honest, most places I vacation, I stop in at the library. 

Do you have a library to recommend?

Top Ten Tuesday: Covers

 This week's topic is a cover freebie - so I'm picking books that make me want to start decorating for Christmas already.

Don't these covers make you want to curl up with a cozy sweater with a mug of hot chocolate in front of a lighted tree and a fire? That's my cozy moment. 

What other books should I add to the list?
