I spent the last Saturday in April visiting Connecticut bookstores. Allow me to say - I need to get out of lower Fairfield County more often. Connecticut is a beautiful state and while I did conjure up an idea for a book (think thriller) as I relied more and more on my GPS, I was utterly charmed by the views.
First up was The Hickory Stick Bookshop in Washing Depot. Voted best independent bookstore by Connecticut Magazine last year, Hickory Stick is simply lovely. You know you're in a good, welcoming place when you walk in and there are two kids hunkered down in chairs completely involved in their books.
I picked up The Good House by Ann Leary, an autographed copy of Tinker's Dam a poetry book by David Leff, Go: A Kidd's Guide to Graphic Design by Chip Kidd and No David by David Shannon.
