I feel like it has been a lifetime since my last post! I hope that everyone has enjoyed their holiday; it is amazing to me how the holiday season can completely consume you at times. But... with that being said, I had a friend come for a "Friendsgiving" visit over the Thanksgiving break. And after our little adventure to the big city, (and I will spare you all of the glorious details!) we were able to spend some time around my little town.

Since we are both ELA teachers, and due to the beautiful grey clouds and rain that plague our skies on a daily basis, I took her to one of my favorite hidden spots in town, Jane Addams Book Shop. Needless to say, with our coffee in hand, we spent countless hours immersed among the things we love best- books.

Why I love Jane Addams, and why you would too:
1. They are a small, locally-owned store with a lot to offer.
2. You can find very rare, special edition, and even signed books.
3. It is a whopping three stories tall. (With plenty of nooks and crannies to investigate.)
4. All of their books are used. (It is cool to me to flip through pages and see where other people have left their mark.)
5. They offer their entire inventory online!
