Today, I ran a few errands and then got on the freeway to SL. I decided to go to another indie bookstore to cross one off my list for March. This one was the 1974 Bookstore and it was pretty easy to find and park at. The owner was really nice. It’s a very small store and doesn’t have a ton of stock. I did find some fun covers on books that I already own and did actually pick up 2 books, mostly because I was trying to spend money there, not because I actually needed those books. I ended up with the UK cover of Rebecca Ross’s Wild Reverence which is very pretty and I don’t mind reading since I loved another one of her books. It just wasn’t something I had planned on buying. And then I bought a weird little book called A Magical Girl Retires which has been translated from Korean and it could fit in my back pocket. Who knows? It could be really fun. I don’t really see myself going back to that particular bookstore. Maybe if I’m in the area, I could stop in? But it’s not a destination bookstore in the normal course of things. I think next month I might try and hit up one of the indie stores in Park City or Midway. Both of those places would be good for spring or fall trips. They are a bit more of a drive, but I could make a day out of it.
