Hello friends!
I just got back from an amazing book shopping trip to New York City and honestly I could have stayed there for an entire week just browsing all the bookstores. In this video I visit some of the best bookstores in NYC (The Strand, Shakespeare & Co, Albertine, The Corner Bookstore & more!) We also visit the largest bookstore in the entire world, Barnes and Noble in Union Square! The entire trip was amazing and I already can't wait to go back.
If you have any recommendations for NYC bookstores please let me know and I'll them to my ongoing list! 🥰
📚 Bookstores visited in order 📚
The Strand
The Corner Bookstore
Shakespeare & Co
Barnes & Noble in Union Square
Albertine
The Drama Book Shop

Murder your Employer is actually an absolutely charming book. It's kind of like a backwards murder mystery (you know the intended victim and murderer, but you don't know how and if the murder happens). The characters are lovely and there's a very interesting academy as well. I just finished it recently and absolutely loved it.

I've always been an introvert, though it has abated in my later years. I moved to NYC when I was 25, following a couple of my college friends. NYC is a GREAT place for introverts. There are so many things one can do alone--go to movies, museums, book stores, art galleries, plays, walks, bicycling, or jogging in one of the many parks, including Central Park. The mass of people is so great that no one will likely to be paying any attention to you. After 40 years, I left NYC--my wife's choice--but I always enjoyed being anonymous in the crowded streets and subways. I could observe others or think to myself and I didn't have to interact with others unless I chose to. The energy of all those people invigorated me! I LOVE NY!

I know how you feel. It's sad. Once my librarian from my school, HS, told us when we were volunteering to clean up. "Please be careful when handling books. They are our windows into another world. They should be treated with love. And if you see any writing inside or outside I can take care of those and remove the inks" It always stayed with me. So whenever I go to bookstores, I always make sure to handle the books carefully and put everything back.

There are so many amazing bookstores here…I could keep going!

Hi Desi! If you haven't read anything by Tove Jansson before, I highly recommend! The moomintroll books in English translation were some of my favourites growing up. She's a Finnish/Swedish author and she's hugely classic there but I don't see too many people reading her books in English and it's a shame. The world building is magical and sweet and they make me feel all sorts of lovely melancholic feelings about the joyful things in the world

I absolutely adore the whimsy that you incorporate into all areas of your life. It is so inspiring🫶 When you asked, why do I get so excited about books? It reminded me so much of something young Anne would ask. I just added so many books to my goodreads and I can’t wait to dive into them after we unpack from our move. Also..If while in Rhode Island you ever take a trip to Vermont you must stop at Northshire Books. It is pure magic✨✨

I love the jazz/clarinet heavy sound track-perfect for New York bookstore vibes. And beautiful as always!

What a magical book shopping trip Desi! I loved the books you bought and the tote bag (how cute!) I'm a tote bag girl! I'm always adding to my collection. I love your hair by the way. The color is perfect for you and you did look like a fairytale when you were in NYC! Can't wait for your next video!

I always say this but you have the best channel on this platform. I’ve watched your Powell’s video multiple times so I was really excited to see this one and it didn’t disappoint. I’d love for this to be a series.

This was so helpful! We're planning our first trip to NYC this December and I'm a teacher, an avid reader, and a mom of 3 little dragons who devour books.
