5 Bookstores in One Day
Join me on a bookstore crawl as we visit various antiquarian shops in Denver!
Instead of physical gifts, this year my wife and I decided to plan day trips / experiences for each other. So for my upcoming birthday, she put together a list of a few bookstores and even a Russian cafe, which offered me the chance to put my language learning into practice.
Which book do you think I should read first? Let me know in the comments!

Mystery Box Book Haul 📦 19 Books!
