Books

I went to The Bookstore in Coconut Grove and it was cute, though not what I expected. It was a good, though small space, and had lots of gifts and scrumptious looking food. There wasn't the best selection of books though, which is, oddly enough, why I go to bookstores. I'm spoiled by Books and Books. I really think they have the best buyers, or at least ones that read what I do. Also, there were so many old people there! I'm no spring chicken, but these were some dinosaurs. I would like to start hanging out there for the free wi-fi!
