independent bookstore project #2
Dec. 23rd, 2018 02:06 pmLoyalty Books is a temporary pop-up bookstore in Silver Spring, MD, as a project of Upshur Street Books, which is based in DC. This was a holiday season experiment that they might try to turn into a full Silver Spring bookstore depending on how it performed.
Today was actually my second visit to Loyalty; on my first visit, I didn't buy a book. I bought a mug, because the mugs were cute and I wanted to support the bookstore somehow. As a pop-up, their selection is really limited. I think they were just kind of bringing boxes of random assortments over from Upshur Street every few days and seeing how it went. Which meant the stuff on the shelves was a fascinating, unpredictable mixture.
On this second visit, I bought: The Queen of the Night, by Alexander Chee. Excited to take this with me as vacation reading.
