Thanks Books is my first “local bookstore” after I became an adult. Like those bookstores in the neighborhood when I was young, there was a subtle joy of space where I could visit and check out new books and choose gifts. It has been 10 years since I enjoyed such simple joy. A lot of the books I bought there were piled up, and when I opened those old books on the shelves, the hairs of my cats that were nested between the pages were blown away. A cozy presence with a steady appearance that grows older with me. Thanks a lot Thanks Books.
