And while I do download some books on Kindle, nothing beats (for me) a print book that I can hold and turn pages and feel the pages beneath and between my fingers. In Midtown, we don't have as many independent bookstores as we used to, sadly. But I have two favorites — the Book Collector and Time Tested Books (where I had my signing.) Also The Avid Reader and Beers Books. But I feel lucky for those. Two of them I can walk to, and the other two are a very short drive. <br /><br />Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-61182960646444388082018-11-23T11:57:11.817-08:002018-11-23T11:57:11.817-08:00Sounds like a wonderful event.

Awesome!<br /><br />I love bookstores and am lucky to have quite a few in my area that I like to visit. I only read print books (don't have an ereader) and I try to go to author signings and events whenever I hear of them- and they are close enough. :) <br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend!<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-76003467206432996702018-11-14T06:29:47.459-08:002018-11-14T06:29:47.459-08:00Thank you, Tanya!
