Indie Bookshop in Denton Tx!

Patchouli Joe’s is one of my favorite independent book stores in Texas. Denton is also a beautiful town to visit! Their town square has so many fun shops and things to do and see, like Patchouli Joe’s! 📚

What’s your favorite indie bookshop? I also like Murder by The Book in Houston Tx! 🥰
