I know how you feel Karen--I love words, too!

Holly, Laura, Cynthia and Christine--thanks! Book and bookstores are just #1 all the way. :)

Bish and Elana, nice to see you here. :)

Cat, thanks. I'm glad it brought up some good imagery. :)

Jeff, thanks so much. I'm so glad to hear this helps you.

Sharon, I'm not sure. I imagine tho it was the bigger stores first. Side note: I actually attended a talk by one of the Ci-founders of Second Cup, who started the trend of coffee houses. Most would think Starbucks might be the one who did it, but that isn't the case. It was interesting to hear the process of how Coffee stores used to only sell coffee beans and grounds, but then after the popularity of offering free samples in store took off, they decided to start charging and doing take-away cups, and the concept of the coffee house was born. :)

Shannon, I agree. I love bookstores. I think as a writer, it's a place to dream, that one day our books will be there on the shelf.

*big, loud sigh*

This is one of your best ever, probably because it hits the nostalgia buttons. :-)

Silly or strange question…Did bookstores always have coffee shops in them? Or is that a trend that big bookstores started that made independent bookstores follow suite (or vise versa)?

Wonderful post, Angela…a great read and a great lesson!

I thought I left a comment already... time to rectify that mistake.

I love way you put things so it makes sense, so I can actually put this into action.

Thx, my work will be better.

This is wonderful. And inspiring since I’m about to go write in my favorite bookstore cafe!

Lovely voice, particularly the last passage. I had no problem visualizing every character.

Thanks for the great tutorial.

I love this post, simply because it reminds me that I need to use more than one sense to describe a place. Thanks, Angela!

I am standing in a bookstore! In the sound department, there is often muzak playing. The book store where I live, also has a a music and movie department. Music is playing all the time, selected CDs of the day.

Fantastic--as usual. Oh and yes, Beth's book-me me!

Off to check out your school hallway setting!

Thanks Angela! I’d say this is a delightful one – what writer doesn’t love a bookstore?
