Communal Places for Literary
Enthusiasts
S
Modestly self-proclaimed as a “general
bookstore,” Skylight Books in the historic Los Feliz
neighborhood of Los Angeles is all that and so much more. Curated literary selections range from fiction
and children’s books to California history, social science, art, music, and
movies. Their events program is nationally recognized and features prominent
touring authors and local favorites and debuts. You can also become a Friend
with Benefits member or join the Signed First Edition Club. But, wait! There’s
more. They even offer book bouquets for children’s birthdays and a bouquet of
poetry books for Poetry Month.
“Some books leave us free
and some books make us free.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is not too far from where I live. But far enough and too much of a hassle for me to go there. Especially if they expect you to wear a mask. Hope they stay in business for years to come.

Tossing It Out
Hi Lee!
DeleteI chose this place with you in mind ;-) Though I didn't have any idea how close it might be to you. Two others with the letter S either didn't survive the shutdown or haven't yet re-emerged.
I'm especially glad you stopped by for this one!
