the independent bookstore project 1: greedy reads

[tattered_errata]

I'm going to log the independent bookstores I visit! Originally I was going to try to do that on Instagram but this is much better. I respect the people who use Instagram as their blogging platform, but I don't understand them.

Greedy Reads is a corner shop in Fells Point, Baltimore. It's on Aliceanna Street, which also has a comic book shop, a knitting store, and a very good little extremely hipster coffee shop. I could live there and never leave that street.

The books pulled out for particular display at Greedy Reads were about 50% ones I had recently read and enjoyed, or ones on my to-read list, and about 80% of the other 50% looked amazing, so clearly I am simpatico in some way with the owner. She wasn't there today, her sister was running the store, so also clearly I have to keep going back until I can meet her and become book-friends with her. But not in a creepy way.

I bought: The Mirror Thief by Martin Seay.

At the comic store I got the first issue of DIE, Kieron Gillen's new thing. I tried to get the trade of Eternity Girl, from Gerard Way's little comic pop-up for DC, but they didn't have it.

At the hipster coffee shop I had two excellent doughnuts and a very disappointing cappuccino.

We should go there when I come visit again. (Between the icon and being sleepy, I read the post title as Gritty Reads twice before getting it right)
