(and I <strong>hate<\/strong> shopping). Whenever I go, I follow a few rules:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go early, not right before it closes because bookstores eat time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to find one with a cute little cafe in it that you can read your books in after buying them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring a large empty bag or plan to buy a tote.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I live in Portland, so I have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powells.com\/locations\/powells-city-of-books?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxtSSBhDYARIsAEn0thTmNC_UnuC4MNybnDo3Xtavmp8EdacANUCVPACBNAuNVVAVY-TzSroaApFzEALw_wcB\">Powells Bookstore<\/a> as a necessary favorite. Back in Oak Park, I had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktable.net\/\">The Book Table<\/a>. When in doubt, find a Barnes and Noble, they are basically indie at this point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to make the most of your shopping experience? Here are some tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip 1: Enter without an agenda.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin, walk around the store, the whole store, and take it in; Let that Bookstore Aesthetic bring you in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look in the sections you avoid (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello Poetry<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and absorb the topics covered. Also, look where people congregate. If something looks different, stop, look at it. Even if it\u2019s the notebook section or the sports history section, stop and <\/span><b>look at it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Really check in with yourself throughout the walk, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how do you feel?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Are you feeling drawn anywhere <\/span><b>new<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Are you feeling drawn to your favorite section? <\/span><b>HOW DOES IT SMELL?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know at Powell&#8217;s I walk through the whole store. Sometimes, I see nothing outside of my favorite sections, but sometimes I find a weird cookbook, or I\u2019ll learn that people write books on something I never knew about before (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello Cult Section<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The last time I went to Powells, I ended up with a book about people who stole a million chickens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #2: Look for recommended notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-200 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Powells-Recommends.png?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"bookstore recommendations\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Powells-Recommends.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Powells-Recommends.png?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of bookstores do these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bookstores are stores. They want to sell. They want to sell you GOOD books. Unlike most marketing, they are trustworthy marketers. Usually, you will see small handwritten notes where people recommend specific reads based on popular books. In some bookstores, you may just see books in a recommended section. Read them, read why they are recommended. Again ask yourself, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">does it resonate?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have bought so many books just because someone wrote out a little card saying it was good. I don\u2019t know the person, but some random bookseller HANDWRITES A CARD, and I buy it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some amazing books have come from this, and some truly bonkers ones as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #3: The best &#8220;Bookstore Aesthetic&#8221; are book covers.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whoever said <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t judge a book by its cover <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must have meant don\u2019t judge a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">movie by its poster<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book covers are amazing, and I have very rarely felt misled by a book cover. If I see dark art with strong lines, then I know we are going dramatic here. If I see bright pastels with two people looking like cartoons with tilted heads, I know there is love. If I see strange shapes, I may be going sci-fi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I 100% pick up books cause the cover is pretty, and then I read the back, the flap, and the author bio.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In publishing, the covers are hotly debated, they are tested, and they are designed with love. Respect them, <\/span><b>trust them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(However, to me: the cover means: the jacket, the title page, the copywriter, the publisher, etc. Take it all in)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most romance books I buy have cartoon covers. I know that cartoon covers on romance novels are lighter and more silly than the covers of Fabio holding a large busted woman, so that\u2019s what I go for. When it comes to fantasy, I love pages that are unique; give me a rough edge book. When it comes to a thriller, the title has to stick out and the cover has to be textured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIND YOUR COVER PREFERENCE FOR EACH GENRE, that&#8217;s a real &#8220;bookstore aesthetic.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #4 Pick the one that you\u2019re most excited by (or more)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I read How To Decide a few years ago, and I learned something that made my life easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If multiple things sound equally enticing, there isn\u2019t a wrong decision.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>If they are all equally enticing, you can\u2019t make the wrong choice.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-197 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Houston-we-Have-a-Bargain.png?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fun bookstores\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Houston-we-Have-a-Bargain.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Houston-we-Have-a-Bargain.png?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your choice may have a bad outcome, but the choice itself won\u2019t be bad.\u00a0 There is no way you could have known.\u00a0 If you look through things and you have two things and both seem equally as promising, then choose something random. Say \u201cI will pick the greener cover\u201d or \u201cI will pick the one that\u2019s cheaper\u201d Or \u201cI will pick the one whose author&#8217;s name has the most vowels.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick something random and go with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you didn\u2019t love it, then find a little free library and trade it out.
