    If you liked the used bookstore at the Winter Park library, you NEED to go check out the one on the bottom floor of the library in Casselberry, FL 215 N Oxford Rd, Casselberry, FL 32707, All books only $1

    I live in Orlando, and if you haven't been yet, I really recommend the Winter Garden Writer's Block location!! It's in a cute little downtown area with lots of other shops/food places. It's a bit smaller than the Winter Park location but still really cute and cozy.

    omggg, it's so cool to see all these local bookstores getting some love!! i've been in Orlando my whole life and i didn't even know about a good chunk of these places!
    have you been to Blackbird Comics & Coffeehouse, by any chance? it's my FAVORITE bookstore in Central Florida--they're in Maitland, they're a DELICIOUS cafe, and they have such a lovely little collection of books from all genres in addition to their massive comics collection. highly highly recommend!!!

    Currently reading a book series called Warriors. It's about wild cats that form clans, it's labeled as children's but it's more middle grade. I like middle grade fantasy. I enjoy series.

      I have literally spent HOURS in Brightlight books - there is SO much to look at there, and the staff is awesome! I've donated plenty of my stash to them, and they accept a wide variety of books. Anything they can't take as donations, they'll find a way to pass on to another org. LOVE THEM!!

    What are the titles of the background music that you use?
    Ways To Make Sunshine is part of a series. I read Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson and I enjoyed it. The book is YA. I love reading middle grade/preteen books! 🤎
    I am from the Philippines and if I were to visit a bookstore, I prefer looking at the middle grade/preteen section (especially fantasy) but contemporary middle grade and other genres would work as well. I am also cool at looking at the YA and adult fiction section (basically any section that has novels).

    • @MelizzaBlack
      @MelizzaBlack  4 місяці тому +1
