One of our favorite things to do is visit local independently-owned bookstores! Here is a list of our favorites:

- Capricorn Books is a fun, small, and "unconventional" bookstore in the suburbs that has both new and old books. It's across the street from White Horse Coffee & Creamery, one of Kait's favorite cafes.

605 West Ave, Jenkintown, PA 19046

-Big Blue Marble is a bookstore in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philly, featuring new books by LGBT+ authors and queer-centric topics. There's also a reading room upstairs! It's nearby a cafe that has great crepes and an interesting thrift store to poke around.

551 Carpenter Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19119

-Giovanni's Room is a historic LGBT+ bookstore in the Gayborhood of the city. It has both new and used books covering an array of topics, from bestsellers to queer/feminist theory (that Caitlin appreciates buying for cheap). It's worth the visit if you're exploring Center City!

345 S. 12th Street Philadelphia, PA 19107

-Mostly Books is a used bookstore containing a massive collection of over 10,000 items, located near South Street in the city. It's the furthest from the wedding venue but well worth the trip if you love books! Pictured above is Kait and our best man Jace exploring this place. There's also a cat who roams around!

529 Bainbridge St, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Any financial gifts will go towards our honeymoon in Japan (Tokyo & Kyoto) and would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. :)
