It's the best time of year - HOLIDAY BOOK SHOPPING TIME! I'm joined by author and newly minted bookstore owner Lindsey Leavitt, whose gorgeous store Folklore Bookshop opened just this September. We talk a bit about what it is like to open a bookstore and the special things she and her co-owners are doing to help make their store stand out. More importantly, we give out book recommendations for EVERYONE on your shopping list! If you want to know what it's like to live the dream of opening your own bookstore, start at the top. If you want to dive STRAIGHT into the gift guide, recommendations start around the 21:30 mark. <3 Please shop local -- your bookstores need you! But if you want to shop online, the links in the show notes go to Bookshop.Org, which gives a percentage of every sale to independent bookstores like Folklore.

Shownotes, including links to all the books we chatted about, can be found at www.jenniferlaughran.com/literaticast
