I Discover a New Bookstore in Galveston

 My friend, Cindy, and I came out of Taquilo's Tex-Mex with full stomachs, and walked toward the car.

"We could stop in the bookstore before we leave," Cindy said.

"It's not open on Tuesdays," I told her. I tried the bookstore twice before on a Tuesday. Closed.

"It is now," Cindy said, and we turned to walk a short distance down Postoffice St. 

Hurray! Cindy was right. It was open.


I was expecting a used bookstore, but, no, it has all the latest and best brand-new books. The owner, Lori, retired from working as a preschool teacher and librarian, and decided jump into bookselling after her daughter gave her a push. 


It's a gorgeous bookshop, and I want to go back and just hang around and talk to other book people and look carefully at all Lori has on her shelves. 


Of course I had to bring home a book, and after considering about fifty books I really wanted to buy and take home, I finally decided on Devotions by Mary Oliver.

I am certain I will be back soon. Those fifty books are waiting for me.
