On a trip to Washington, Missouri I have discovered a charming bookstore named Neighborhood Reads
The store has an excellent book selection, including classics, contemporary, foreign and American authors, for both fiction and nonfiction. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dawn Kitchell, and discussed about the upcoming (Sept 13-14, 2024) Missouri Book Festival
Dawn organizes reading events well attended by current and future readers, as shown in this February 2024 post in USA Today.
