The closest McKay Used Books is in Manassas, Virginia. On our road trip, we stopped there.

I always love stopping there because I truly never know what I'll find. That makes it super fun. They offer new and used books along with other collectible items like records and video games.

I go for the books (even though if I ever run into a copy of Gallop Racer 2006, I will surely pick it up).

Aisles and aisles of every genre fill the huge store.

I gravitate towards fiction and they often have special editions. My score was the Fairyloot Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron! It's so pretty.

From there we went to Buc-ee's. I'd never been to one before and had no idea what to expect but even what I encountered still wasn't what I imagined. Amazing.
