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.

As someone who had a little one in a stroller, I was unable to move around the store, kept bumping into things, and was very uncomfortable. They had a large variety of books, but not a lot in each section. They had a lot of stacks of books behind within the store waiting to fill the empty shelves. The employee never talked to me the whole time my friend, child and I were in there. Needless to say, I wouldn't be coming back.

We have chatted with multiple staff members and they are always helpful, polite and welcoming. While the in-store selection may not be as large as one of the biggies, it's pretty good and I have no problem ordering online or requesting a special order. I even pre-ordered the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book! The best part is we are supporting our local bookshop. This is how bookstores should be! :)

Pink Zeppelin Books & Records is a solid spot to come in to do some browsing and even come across…read moresome local artisan goods too like jewelry, stickers, small decor, and even t-shirts. We came in after noticing the spot while having coffee around the corner. Outside the shop, before walking in, there are several bargain books displayed that help with a visual cue of where you should be heading to. Organization of all records was pretty decent. Everything is spaced out and no overcrowding of records to be found here. You can browse easily without having any issues. I ended up finding a great early Rihanna LP and my partner found a pretty awesome and good quality of an REM LP here too. We were very happy with our finds and the condition the vinyl was when we brought it home to play. Of course you can find bargain records here but their curated records that are priced $5 and up will be pretty good quality in terms of cover and record quality. I think I remember seeing nice juices, beers, and even some energy drinks here that are offered in a cold case? I also saw plenty of magazines and niche zines here that I regret not taking a chance on. You will find something unique and very interesting here even outside of records. I really loved the book area/nook as there are plenty of genres to choose from. I will definitely come back through to browse their selection in the future. I am unsure if they still have bands play outside or in but I would be down to catch some tunes too.

It has a ton of cute little things like pictures, knick knacks, DIY's, books (of course), and a coffee bar! It is down town so be prepared for a thought parking situation. Ambiance: Loved it! There are so many things to see and a few cozy areas to sit and read your book. The music was good too. Service: Both ladies I spoke to were very helpful. Even when I asked so many questions about the DIY scrubs and perfumes.

Their displays of books are well curated, and they have some knickknacks and gifts for that eccentric person in your life. I do wish the cafe had some gluten free options (pastries looked and smelled so good. The whole area smelled like butter.). And would like an alt milk option that isn't nuts, soy, or oat based (like coconut milk!). Free parking in the back.
