August was quite a book traveling month for me. New Voices, New Rooms was the destination in Atlanta, Georgia. Between there and Enola, Pennsylvania, there are many bookstores.

The first one we stopped at was Miss Willa's Bookshop in West Virginia.

About Miss Willa's Bookshop

Miss Willa's Bookshop, located in Charles Town, West Virginia, is an independent bookstore that offers romance-only novels written by authors both well-known and debut, traditional and indie.

Owned by # 1 New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, the bookshop is named after Willa Colyns, a character from JLA's Blood and Ash series. When JLA decided she wanted to fulfill one of her dreams by opening a bookstore, she immediately knew she wanted to showcase the genre that not only started her love of reading but also writing. 

I love that so many authors are opening up their own indie bookstores. When Jennifer Armentrout announced her new venture in opening up a bookstore in West Virginia, I was stoked.
I knew I wanted to go there, and the group of us made the pitstop on our way to Georgia.

It's such a cute shop.

I loved the decorations.

What a cool wall.

This is so funny to me and matches the vibes of JLA’s books!

There were many romance books of all sub-genres.

Classics of the genre were on the shelves along with their more recent counterparts.

A group photo was a must.

Truth.

I left with a Beverly Jenkins novel that I didn't already own. And of course a sticker commemorating the occasion. I love buying stickers from bookstores. If I don't have space for more books or don't find a book I really want, I still like to support stores. So if there's a sticker or postcard, I'm there for it.

I can’t wait to visit again!
