The daughter being done with her Master's program at Vanderbilt was looking for a place to…read moreoffload/sell her nursing textbooks. She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.

I was so excited to get back to McKay's for the first time in years. I was completely taken aback…read moreby the prices of books here now. Many books I found were overpriced for used books. There's no pricing system based on book condition, which would be nice. You may find a book in fair condition and pay the same amount for the same book in excellent condition. Customer service was great as always.

This was actually on Free Comic Book Day, which is every first Saturday of May. And as soon as I…read morewalked in I noticed the Pop Vinyl Figures in the windows, and thought to myself... now this is my type of place. I continued in and was met with the lovely smiles and happiness of the owners. They were just opening and doing some last minute arrangements for the FCBD (Free Comic Book Day.) They had albums and comics and more. And rarely priced at that. I picked up a couple albums that I had been looking for and a few comics as well. He even gave me info on an album that I had been searching for my brother and he pointed me in the right direction. I appreciate that. Going to make this spot my local comic and record shop.

Hidden gem alert!…read more Was at 100 Taylor today working a photo shoot and wandered into this spot. Amazing! If you love metal music (they do have records of other genres as well, but their theme is for sure metal) you owe it to yourself to stop in here. Records, art, merch, the whole deal. I got to talking to Summer, who was working today, and she was super friendly. Support local art! Support local metal!

Plenty Book Shop is one of those places that feels special the moment you walk through the door…read more Of course, the book selection is wonderful, but what I love most is that the entire shop feels thoughtfully curated. Every section seems to have its own personality. There's one area that always makes me think of what I imagine Jane Austen's library might have felt like -- cozy, beautiful, timeless and just a little magical. Then there's the children's section, complete with an incredible rolling library ladder that makes the whole space feel like something out of a storybook. And it goes far beyond books. They have such a great selection of unique gifts, beautifully curated items and little treasures that make it an easy place to find something for someone else -- or, very realistically, something you suddenly decide you need for yourself. They're also constantly finding creative ways to make reading fun and build a community around books. They offer book challenges, Books of the Month, events, writers' workshops and other programs that make Plenty feel like much more than a store. It feels like a gathering place for people who genuinely love books, creativity and storytelling. One of the things that makes Plenty especially meaningful is its commitment to children's literacy and the nonprofit work connected to that mission. Knowing that there is a bigger purpose behind what they're building makes an already wonderful place even more special. There are bookstores where you stop in, find a book and leave. Plenty is the kind of bookstore you want to wander through, discover something unexpected, stay awhile and come back to see what they've dreamed up next. It is charming, creative, welcoming and completely unique -- easily one of my favorite bookstores.
