Bookstores are amazing and we need more in the world. I agree with this so much. I heard recently that Barnes & Noble was considering going under, and it was awful, because that would leave only one bookstore in my city (which is sad since we are in the top 20 for largest cities in the US) and how am I supposed to obsessively search for mint condition books when the only bookstore left recently started mixing used books in with their used ones?

Oh true never thought about the busy side of it. It's not just coffee, it's dealing with people too
I like those name ideas a lot though

lol yeah. I didn't like working for starbucks bc it was always about rushing and just say yes and letting people be rude to me for no reason.
Lol yeah those ones were from Skyrim xD my ideas I have so far are: Studious Cafe, The Reading Centaur, the Pressed Leaf (eh), the Winged Fox, the Night Owl, Sleeping Snow Leopard (kinda long), the Desert Cardinal or (Purrhuloxia) which is a type of bird that lives in the state I'm thinking of opening the store up in

If I even end up a successful published author I'd use some of the money to start a bookstore. With cats. There was a bookstore I found when visiting Seattle that had four cats roaming inside 😍

Yikes I couldn't imagine working with food, at starbucks I just had to do drinks and put like pastries in an oven, I don't think i could handle like actual food and burgers and stuff. And I never plan to lol.
Thanks! Idk if any of them have really stood out but its fonna be at least 4 years before I'm gonna open the business so i've got time to come up with a name lol.
That sounds amazing. Cats and books? Perfect.

The last week or so has been really stressful and busy. Thank goodness I'm almost done with it.

Now I have to go back to Cincinnati on my off day. Alone. And I have to drive on that nightmarish double decker bridge.

Soon, all bookstores could be replaced by websites and maybe even the books with ebooks and it's so sad. ;-;

Soon, all bookstores could be replaced by websites and maybe even the books with ebooks and it's so sad. ;-; I can't stand that thought. If I order through a website, I run the risk of them sending me a Warriors book (those are the only ones I collect, the rest of the series I buy I'm not very picky) that could have a bent corner or ripped dust jacket and that would cause me so much anxiety that I would literally buy the same book again hoping to get a copy in better shape (that's kinda how the collection started, I loaned my books to my mom and when she returned them 19 of the spines were creased and I rebought the books for display purposes and turned the damaged ones into readable copies for me).

I don't like ebooks either, but I will admit reading my mom's old kindle is easier than going to the library every week.

My kindle is very old, as in completely black and white, I don't even think it can get on the internet
When you say activity do you mean just on Pretzels or in general? I always keep up to date on Pretzels, but I rarely post because I don't want to just post random stuff (kinda like tonight with the bookshelf stuff) that nobody even acknowledges.

My husband recently got a small tablet about the size of a kindle fire because I wouldn't let him take my iPad with him out of town (what would I do at work all night?) and he was offended because I referred to it as "cute"

They tried putting me in the kitchen once and I tried it before I told them it wasn't happening again unless I got a substantial raise Ooh over in Japan they have these cat and tea shop type things maybe you could look into doing something like that XD
