They were all very good. But what stood out is this place really has a vibe. The owner was very friendly and visited with us for a little while. They have a vintage shop as part of the coffee shop. And, of course, they sell vinyl records. Prices were pretty reasonable, including those for the more elaborate drinks. This place was just a lot of fun to visit. There were many things to see, the food was fairly good, and the coffee was excellent. What else can you ask for?

I've decided to explore the city's used bookstores. It seems we have quite a few, and I wasn't…read moreaware of many of them. Nine lives books was one of them. It is located in a strip mall off Fredericksburg, and it won't be found unless ones looking for it, which I was. It is not a very big place, but it does have a lot of knickknacks, including an impressive collection of stickers, bookmarks, and vinyl records, to name a few. It actually is a pretty neat place. The books are used and for the most part they're very reasonably priced. They do not have an inventory of the books, so you do have to look through shelves, if looking for a particular title. And their staff is only one person at the cashier. Which is to say that you can browse to your heart's content, and discover some major reads. They also had quite a few boxes of books that were under one dollar or $.50. This is one of those places that I intend to return to, because of pricing and to support small businesses. I truly recommend visiting this place. It makes for a fun visit.

They even have a section dedicated to Numero Group releases, which I thought was super rad. If you want to try your hand at the bargain bin, there's a room with 50-cent records, too. There is a section near the front (you'll need to kneel) of clearance records underneath some New Arrivals. The folks who work here know and love music, so if you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to chat about it.

I always end up walking out with more than 2 records each visit as their pricing and selection is worth visiting each time. The layout of the shop is great. I recommend starting left side of the shop and work your way around to the right side. You will find all genres sorted out and organized in a very simple and easy to navigate way. Most of the newest arrivals (from folks who are selling or trading their records in) to the back left side. I like starting here just in case I end up finding something cool that just came in. It's a nice way to be able to see what came through to the shop in the last day or two and these records are always diverse in genre. I really enjoy the vintage collection the shop has as decor here. I have seen 8-track players, lunch boxes, older posters from classic albums, cassette players, and even some cool nostalgic childhood toys. I kept smiling at each vintage or throwback items I saw that often tells you "not for sale" or "NFS" stickers on it. As a record collector I take the condition of records seriously before purchasing. I am the annoying record collector who will slide the record out of the sleeve and bend it up to the light to check for scratches, dirt, dust, etc. The last few visits at Crazy Rhythms I have been purchasing and not checking the condition or quality because I trust what I am getting is going to be playable and no bumps/hiccups when I do play them. You will get very good to high-quality records here no doubt. Just heads up - every record collector should know that the cheaper the price (aka clearance or discounted items) usually the quality will suffer but THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. You will get better than great quality records and anything that is priced low is probably overstock, common record/selection, and is always priced fairly. You can trust in this record store. Trust. Parking is super easy - just pull right up to the front of the store or park in the private lot. Even when the tourist attractions are busy around the store you will most definitely be able to stop in without having to worry about parking. Parking is never a thing for me even when Fiesta is happening. Check out the selections I have picked up in the few times I have come thru in my photos.

I am currently kicking myself for not knowing this Half Price Books existed!…read more So long story short, I came to this HPB store because I wanted to sell a book that I had to copies of. Selling the book was super easy! They have a buy section at the end of the store where they can buy either in bulk or singles. The price you get for the book is determined by their popularity. For mine I got $6 which I thought was a good deal. I love books, so of course I had to go and explore around the store. The first thing that caught my eye was their Half Pint Book (kids) section which had so many amazing options of new and used items. They even had a bunch of kids toys and arts and crafts kits that were brand new. Frankly I can't wait to bring my little one and show him all the amazing books in that section. Another great find was their "New Bestseller" section which is right at the front of the store. They had a brand new book which I had just paid $32 and Barnes & Noble (which is across the street by the way), and they had it for $17.49! Like whaaaaaat?! Obviously since I have no self control I went ahead and used the money from my sell into buying another book, which makes it almost free, right? #GirlMath Anyhow! Definitely recommend checking out this amazing Half Price Books location.

Shopping books through Amazon or other online retailers can be very easy, but there is nothing like walking through a book store and seeing all the different titles in just one place. Compared to other locations, this Barnes & Noble is not as busy and I like that is just one story building. I also like that they have plenty of spots all over the bookstore where you can sit and they also have a pretty nice size Starbucks. There is also plenty of parking and accessing this plaza is super easy from 410 or 281. Overall, I love coming to this store! The staff is always super friendly and they have an amazing selection.

Every genre section branches off of a 'main hallway' and you can see over all of the shorter bookshelves so the store is really open and easy to peruse through.

Give this bookstore a visit! It's absolutely worth your while!

Or if you think of a movie that you haven't seen in a while, do the same! If you aren't in the mood to browse, this way is much better. I did this for "Gone With The Wind" one day and I was in and out in two minutes. WAALA! However, if you want to browse, this place has an upstairs and downstairs packed with used CD's and DVD's. The prices are fairly reasonable. Used CD and DVD stores are probably going out of business because of Amazon and Ebay but let's hope this one sticks around for a while for the "get it now" instead of "buy it now" factor. P.S. I am a damn Yankee, so I am not a huge fan of Gone with The Wind. :) Oh Scarlett.
