Bookstore Weekend Trip 📚🛍️

This weekend I had the loveliest trip to the bookstore in Guthrie, OK called A Novel Idea Bookshop 📚🖤 I’ve been a few times and have even been a vendor at one of their events, but this was my first time going for just regular book shopping!

I got 3 books (I got the two horror books, my husband got Terror at the Gates)

And the bookstore had some live music and free drinks across the street, so my friends and I had the best time!
