Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday! This week is all about bookstores. What makes a bookstore great? The selection and variety of books? The atmosphere? The feel and smell of old books? For me, it is a combination of all these factors. I have a small list this week. I’ve listed four bookstores I have had the pleasure of visiting and one I would like to visit someday.
The Book Loft in Columbus, Ohio-This is such a fun bookstore! All 32 rooms are filled to the brim with books on almost every topic. I could spend hours wandering around in this place.
Village Lights Bookstore in Madison, Indiana-This is a wonderful small-town bookstore. It is so cozy and inviting! Village Lights has a good selection of new books, but part of the fun in visiting this place is browsing the ever changing selection of used books. They also have several “furry” staff members with very literary names.

Nevermore Books in Beaufort, South Carolina-The website doesn’t do this store justice. Their shelves are filled with beautiful hard cover editions of classics in a variety of genres. The books here smell amazing!
Brilliant Books in Traverse City, Michigan-I found this delightful bookstore while on vacation. It was definitely a highlight of my trip!
The Montague Bookmill in Montague, Massachusetts-The pictures of this store look beautiful, and I think it sounds like a lot of fun. They certainly seem to have a sense of humor as their website is peppered with phrases like “Books you don’t need in a place you can’t find” and “Don’t look for our catalogue on line; we’re not that bookstore. But if we can’t find the book you’re looking for, we’ll find you a better one you didn’t know you wanted.” I might have to place a trip to Massachusetts soon!
What do you look for in a bookstore? Would you like to visit any of the places I’ve mentioned?
One of the things I loved about visiting Powell’s Books in Portland is that there were so many books to look through! The Book Loft sounds like an amazing place.
It really is amazing! Thanks for visiting and commenting!
I’ll have to look into The Montague Bookmill next time I visit my parents and see how close it is! Great list!
I hope you get a chance to visit it! It sounds like it would be a fun place.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
Oh! I love the idea of a bookshop with some animal colleagues. It must be brilliant on to visit.
It is! The cats are very cute.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

I hadn’t heard of any of these, so it was lovely to check them out. Great list!
I’m glad you enjoyed my list, and thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Love the sound of Village Lights Bookstore. Any bookstore that has pets is my kind of place.
Village Lights really is wonderful.
Thank you for visiting!
The Book Loft sounds lovely! There’s SO many book stores I knew nothing about. Needless to say, if I take any kind of trip in the near future, I must find some book stores to visit. 🙂
The Book Loft is great! I hope you get a chance to see it some day.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I’ve not heard of any of these before now, but they sound great!
The four I’ve been to are really wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my, 32 rooms!? The Book Loft sounds so neat! Nevermoor books sounds beautiful as well. I hope you get to visit these! I want to visit them now, too. 🙂
The Book Loft is wonderful! I’ve been there a few times. I’ve been to Nevermore a couple of times and it is absolutely lovely.
Thank you for commenting. 🙂
This topic was a struggle for me, though I have gotten to visit some nice book stores: The Strand in NYC and Blue Bicycle in SC are two that come to mind. I think I usually want to visit particular bookstores when I see book tours and wish I could go.
Yes, I can see how this topic would be a bit of a struggle. My list was short this week because I wanted to keep it to specific bookstores that I love. I also didn’t want to include chain stores which have a good selection but can’t match the atmosphere and personality of a smaller store.
Thanks for stopping by!
I don’t really buy physical books, so I am not often looking in bookstores, but I have been to The Strand and Blue Bicycle, which are somewhat popular bookstores. Books of Wonder is pretty nice too.
I have a lot of physical books. While I love my ebooks for convenience, there is just something about holding a physical book in my hand. I love the feel and smell of the pages. I especially like the smell of old books!
The Montague Bookmill looks SO cool! And omg 32 rooms in The Book Loft sounds amazing. I would get lost haha. Great list!
The Book Loft is so great! And I’ve actually gotten a bit turned around in there as I was lost in books. Fortunately there are some helpful signs to point customers in the right direction as well as helpful staff members.
The Montague Bookmill does look amazing! I really hope I’m able to visit it someday.
Thank you for visiting. 🙂
All sound like such fun bookstores to visit! Probably won’t ever get to since.. well.. Europe.. But at least we have some amazing ones over here as well. 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed my list! Yes, location does seem to be a barrier when it comes to some of these amazing bookstores. It makes me think I should start planning a vacation based bookstores!
Thanks for visiting. 🙂
Definitely agree that a bookstore is made amazing by; cozy atmospheres, an incredible selection of books and the SMELL!!! I love the smell of bookstores.
I’ve never heard of any of these bookstores before. But if I ever visit the US, I now have a list of bookstores to visit!!
Happy Reading! 😀
