My names Kelly and I'm from America. I live in Russia as an expat, and, well, lots of interesting things happen to me. This blog is supposed to be about Pop culture, but really, its me trying to understand what's going on in this world where things our constantly changing and crazy ideas are being let loose. In my mind, the world is Wonderland, and I'm Alice.

Bookstores

So, I have this thing where I love to find small, cozy bookstores that no one knows about and buy absolutely every book I need at those bookstores. I don't know why, but I don't like to buy books at huge bookstores. I mean, Borders is good when you are looking for something specific, but when I am just browsing, trying to find a good book, I hate going to Borders because I can never find anyone that works there. There is this bookstore in this small town about 5-10 minutes from my house in Colorado and I love it. Its called the Bookworm, and it is in Edwards, Colorado. It has this sort of modern-yet-rustic feel to it, and the people there are so helpful. I once spent 2 hours in there talking to one lady about all these books, and left with 15 books to read over the summer. They have a little organic, healthy cafe in the back, outdoor seating and really comfortable chairs to read in. I never feel awkward asking about something, because I know that they are happy to help you find whatever you need. That store is probably the main reason I refuse to go searching for a book in chain bookstores.
