For long as I have been into reading and books I've always gotten most of my books from a chainlink bookstore. Years ago when I was younger it was Borders then it became Barnes and Noble. Then I sometimes get books off of Amazon.
There really hasn't ever been local bookstops around where I live. The only one in my town that's been around for years just had older books and really nothing current. And the other one that wasn't too far away was very small and not alot of options.
This year though I decided to go into this bookstore in a plaza area not far from my town. I had never been inside it before and decided to check out. I ended up loving it. It was the right size not too big and not too small. I ended up finding the books I wanted but couldn't find when I went into Barnes and Noble.
I've been back a couple times and each time they have books that Barnes and Noble don't have in the store and I discover books that would be hard to discover or wouldn't even be in a mainstream bookstore.
Do you prefer local bookstores or mainstream bookstores? Do you like both? Do you go to one for certain genres and the other for a different genre?

I much prefer local and used book stores. The ThriftBooks app is great too
I always loved little local bookstores, where you could stumble across anything. They’re disappearing.
