I love love love an independent book store. My friends and I were in Davis to grab coffee and decided to take a walk around the area where we came across Avid Reader. I told myself not to buy anything...but did I listen? Of course not. They had a great selection of books and everything was very organized. They had a bunch of book related novelty items which I always love checking out. I almost left without spending money until I noticed the bargain area so I grabbed an interesting book that was on sale plus my friend saw a section where they had mystery "Pick Your Poison" books that only listed the trigger warning "ingredients" that were in the book...being as we both are horror and Halloween lovers to the fullest - we indulged and both bought one. Service was friendly and helpful - check them out! read more
