    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.

    It's cramped because they moved to a smaller location from a larger location. The staff are some of…read morethe nicest, friendliest people I've met. You'll find a lot more than books. There's bookmarks, stickers, collectibles, etc. I never regret a trip to this place because if I can't find what I'm looking for, at least I had a pleasant interaction with the employees.

The book I purchased sparked a beautiful conversation with the ladies at the checkout counter. I love listening to how others interpret / respond to an author's perspective. It's one of the richest's parts of discussing books. I took my time browsing this cute indie bookstore. I always take my time in bookstores as I walk each isle waiting to find the book that calls to me. I have so many books on my, to-be-read list and when I spot one of them on a shelf, it's like seeing an old friend. The book I chose to bring home with me was, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde. What a gem for only $16.95. I'm going to really enjoy this one. Her work is raw, powerful, and unapologetic. I also bought a bookmark which is something I always do when buying a new book. They just go hand in hand. You'll find many options at the checkout counter. Make sure to take a look at the beautiful journals if you're also into exploring your thoughts through writing.

    Went in about 3 weeks ago for a book. They were out of the particular book I was looking for &…read moreagreed to order & told me I could wait to pay for it upon arrival. Now they did not call me to let me know it arrived as much as it was noted that they did... Nonetheless, when I called today it was on hold so went in & picked it up! Great service!!!

    Shop local when and where you can! Of all the indie book stores, this one has the most selection. I…read moreeven found the book I was looking for! Nowhere focuses on local, cultural, LGBTQIA, and overall a very diverse selection of books. They also host big events like speakers. Nowhere is about the size of your average Half Price Books and as someone else said, it's like stepping into a grown-up Scholastic Book Fair. Socks, bookmarks, cards, they sell so many things. Towards the back they also have a coffee shop! I need to go back and order a cortado for my review series. You can tell this shop is well-loved. It was extremely crowded. Staff remained in excellent spirits providing top notch customer service. I fell in love with this shop immediately. I was already a fan based on word of mouth. But experience the shop for yourself - you must do it. I can't wait until my next visit.

    Love a hybrid business. This independent book store and coffee shop has most things I could ask…read morefor: wifi, coffee (and non coffee drinks), snacks, and seating. 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.
