Do you agree that there is no such thing as “too many books”? This is your story. We take a look at four area book stores and talk to the staff members about trends in reading, trends in shopping and what makes a physical book store special. We also get some recommendations from these professional book folks for some new reads and point you toward a few book groups if you want to meet some new people to talk books with. Know of any book events, clubs or more not mentioned here? Let us know at adiaz@hippopress.com.
Also on the cover It ain’t just award season in Hollywood. Voting for Hippo’s Best of 2024 starts soon — Thursday, Feb. 1, at 12:01 a.m. See page 6 for the details.
