Nightbird Books

The great bookstore we went was Nightbird Books! I have driven past several times but was never able to go inside... I pointed it out to Tallon just to say "I want to go there" and he turned in the parking lot and we went in. The first thing we saw was the coffee (we seem to always notice coffee) and then we noticed a giant bird cage! It was a very nice purple painted birdcage. It had bird nests in it and was very clean. They don't have a HUGE selection, but everything we saw was something we were interested in. Then we started talking to to the owner and she showed us that there was a second floor... the fiction section... and the children's section. It was decorated with modern furniture and colorful walls.


We talked to the owner some more to find out more information about the place and the books. The store has been opened for two years and all the books are hand picked. That is why the selection is great even though there are not a TON to pick from. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of books to look at and you can order any book you want... if only takes two days to get it.
Since Tallon and I are on a budget we each only got to get once book. He got a book called "Fargo Rock City" and I got a book called "Death Do Us Part." Mt book is nineteen short stories all about tragic love... I guess... so far it is pretty good. I just started reading it last night because I was wanted to finish my library book first.
Anyway, Nightbird Book has to be the best book store I have ever been to. They had a great selection and an awesome building.
You should go!
