13 Bookstores You Should Visit This Weekend In Western New York

People who love to read normally fall into three groups.  There are people who love audiobooks. They'll listen to them in their car, out on walks, or in bed before they go to sleep. Then, there are people who love digital format books. They have a Kindle or an app where they consume their books. Then there are the old-fashioned page turners. They're people who just love the feel of a book in their hand. They like the weight of a book and the way a page feels when you turn it.

If that last person is you, you're going to want to check this list out.

Regular paper books haven't gone away completely

Even though we have so many ways to consume our books these days, it's pretty cool that the old school books with pages are still around. It's even cooler that you can check out some local book stores that will normally have the new books you're looking for without the wait.

Don't get me wrong. Libraries are still great too. But sometimes those books get borrowed before you get a shot at them and then you have to be put on a waiting list to get them. For people like me who take a long time to read a book, it's better to just own it so that you don't have the pressure of returning it.
