I used to love going to bookstores wherever I lived or visited. I could spend hours perusing and spent so much money on books over the years. I spend most of my time reading online or listening to audible now, but boy, do I miss the physical book to highlight and mark up!
I have read that bookstores are coming back a bit. The younger generations are starting to hang out in libraries and bookstores. So maybe not all is lost.
I remember seeing a video (I don't remember if it was an interview or a conference) in which someone asked Stephen King to give advice for younger writers. He answered that the best advice is; read, that after reading a lot it will come the moment in which you'll have a book in your hands and will think, "I can do it better".
What a wonderful story. This is why I want to start a bookshop! You never know whose life you'll touch forever.
Good luck with it. Also, your newsletter seems interesting. :)

Lovely to hear from a fellow book-lover. There's nothing like a physical book in your hand.

That's so great to hear. Wish the reading culture gets revived. :)
