Well, you must send them your favorites and teach them what's right.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The one Louisiana entry (Maple Street Book Store) is closing next month; my two favorites in town are Blue Cypress for the used books, lovely cat, and staff and Garden District Book Shop (for local books, author events, and employing my friends Ted and Rayna).

The status is NOT quo.
Book Riot's list of favorite bookstores in all 50 states
YAY VROMANS! It's a pretty awesome book store.
For used bookstores, you can't beat The Last Bookstore, though.
ALSO! One of my students wrote an awesome feature on Children's Book World and independent bookstores in general, and it's pretty awesome. [link]

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Nothing in San Diego either? I object! Mysterious Galaxy and Upstart Crow are both awesome.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm behind on new books (since I have a TBR pile that's taking over the apartment), but recently finished "A Study in Scarlet Women" - has anyone else read it? it's basically Sherlock Holmes as a woman.
Now I'm reading "The Mongol Queens: The Daughters of Genghis Khan" - which, if it's accurate (I'm going to have to check it out) gives a really different picture of the society. I was reminded of it because of the discussion of the mounted archer - the author maintains that Mongol women took part in warfare because fighting as an archer on horseback gave them the advantage of skill over strength alone.

Punishingly Intricate
That Book Riot list is super lame! Neither Quimby's nor Atomic Books is on it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've had Mongol Queens on my wishlist for ages! I look forward to hearing what you think of it, Toddson.

I enjoyed "A Study in Scarlet Women" and have asked for the sequel ("A Conspiracy in Belgravia" due out in September) from the local library. I'm curious to see the author continues to develop Charlotte's character.
