Original caption:
I am beyond thrilled to announce that I’m All Better Now just landed in the beautifully bright, welcoming, candy land of a bookshop Big Hill Books! If you’ve been there, you know. If you haven’t visited yet, you must go. It’s well stocked with newly released and backlist titles nicely balanced between paperbacks and hardcover editions. Founder, Beth Thompson is clearly passionate about books and a joy to chat with.

Plus, they have plenty fun bookish accessories, family events and two ADORABLE CATS roaming the store. I’m hooked.
