We love a good trip to the bookstore, and this visit did not disappoint.

I love the magnetic bookmarks, as well as the tiny violins, trombones and other fun items that were staged near the cash registers. The cashier was nice but was really pushing the reward program at the tier where you have to pay for it. We were in a rush to claim our table at Texas Roadhouse, so we had to do the hard pass on that.

Barnes & Nobles is a great place to find gifts. I stopped in on Sunday to do some early Christmas…read moreshopping. I wasn't alone. A bunch of other people had the same idea. I was looking for a couple of books that they did not have because the books were out of print. The staff is helpful and will search and help find anything you looking for. They carry a really nice collection of STEM toys and LEGO kits. I picked up a flashcard game and several workbooks for my granddaughter. A nice assortment of crafting kits were on sale. There is a Starbucks inside the store if you need a coffee fix or want to sit and read after you shop.

Full disclosure this coffee shop is in a church. That threw me off a little bit. But the place is…read morevery spacious, plenty of seating areas to sit and work. It was also pretty quiet which made focusing on my work tasks easy. I sat in front of one of the windows and enjoyed being able to take mental breaks by looking at the well manicured flower beds and watching the birds flying around. The staff were just the sweetest people and so funny. My drink was made perfectly and the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie was the perfect finish!

Adorable book shop with welcoming atmosphere and accommodations that go above and beyond!…read more A wide variety of new books as well as vintage. Great prices and did you know that if you call ahead that they allow photo shoots? Such a great place and we will return soon!

I can always find something that I didn't know I needed at Books-A-Million. This location is…read moreconvenient for me and I was running a few errands nearby. I was looking for nice writing pens, but I could not find exactly what I wanted. I did find a couple of books that I purchased. They have some unique gifts in their gift section that were tempting as well. The clerk was super friendly and engaging. We asked if he wrapped and he thought we said rap, and we all had a good chuckle. Anyway, checkout was quick. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot including accessible parking.

Who doesn't love to randomly stop into a bookstore when they have a few extra hours on their hands?…read moreWho enjoys going to spend those extra hours in a bookstore that doesn't have coffee or a sitting area? Funny background on this location, I used to work here when I was 19 and pregnant as the barista in their now demolished cafe area. At "Joe's" we used to have maybe 3 small round tables with two chairs each & 2 cushioned chairs in the corner with a small table between them. They brewed hot coffee round the clock and also offered a large variety of tea & two slushy type drinks. There was also a food case that had a variety of pastry's & typically one or two savory options. Who made the decision to enclose that area, build a wall & put more books there? Terrible idea & drove me to try and find elsewhere to read in peace and quiet. Although I found quite a few books I wanted to pick up - the atmosphere gave rushed & "DON'T stay awhile" anywho, check out the photos I add- new reads for you all to look into!

I love books and Half-Price Books feeds that love without costing me an arm and a leg.

I do not read a lot of fiction anymore due to a lack of time but I do buy art books, how-to books, and magazines. I love when I can find a $17 magazine for a couple bucks or so. They also carry albums and cds. I also usually purchase a calendar in here for the new year. I will continue to shop here.

When I was little, I used to just camp out and read books for hours. My wish is that bookstores never go out of business, so I try to support it when I can. They not only have a ton of books and music, but also great games, stationary, and home decorations. The women at the checkout desk are the absolute sweetest and one actually thanked me when I continued my family's loyalty card. With the card comes awesome coupons.

I've long been a fan of the Half Price Books chain, a chain started in Dallas in 1972. You could…read morepretty much say I've grown up with Half Price Books. I'm pretty stunned that I've never reviewed this location, though I don't frequent it nearly as much since I moved into Lawrence Township. I grew up in Pike Township and this really was my location for many years. In my opinion, it's one of the most accessible of the Indy HPB locations and I've always been pleased with my experiences here. I was in this area checking out His Place Eatery and nostalgia demanded I return for a visit to this HPB. This location has two entrances. Both sides offer accessible parking, though the side facing West 86th Street is definitely more accessible. One side has a double glass doorway, the other has a single glass door. Both sides offer curb cuts, though the side facing West 86th Street has a much easier grade. For those familiar with HPB, there's the consistency you can expect - reasonably priced books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and even some VHS. Books are incredibly well organized and there's always a nicely done clearance section. They also have novelty stuff - like t-shirts, games, etc. The employees here are always friendly - I've had multiple friends work for HPB over the years and they always praise the chain. Most, of course, end up leaving for financial reasons, however, they all remember HPB with a sense of nostalgia. On this visit, I noticed there was a local author doing a book signing. Since I nearly always support local authors, I bought his book. The aisles are always in good shape here. The store is clean. There's a public bathroom that's pretty accessible. Employees are always willing to help. And yes, you can still sell them your used books/CDs/movies. And yes, you still won't get much. I've been to just about every HPB location in Central Indiana. This one has a special place in my heart as I really kind of grew up with it. I guess you could say it's my favorite HPB in Indy. This HPB is well organized, has a wonderful selection, offers friendly and helpful service, and is likely the most accessible HPB in the society. All in all, it's a winner and it sure was nice to get back for a visit.
