What's this?! A new blog post?! That is correct, folks! I'm back in all my literal crapping glory and I have a bookstore for you!
Welcome to 'Murica and, more specifically, welcome to the Land of the Pee; Princeton, New Jersey! While New Jersey may be the designated armpit of America, Princeton is more than your usual warm, sweat-gland filled nook. Home to the illustrious Princeton University, this tiny little town has built itself quite the name by being associated with America's top university. Alumni of our fine institution include such names as First Lady Michelle Obama, Enigma Cracker Alan Turing, Author Jodi Picoult and Albert Einstein even gave his Theory of Relativity lecture on campus! But what's a college town without a bookstore? Bloody inconvenient in my opinion. That's why Princeton's very own Labyrinth Books has you covered!
Labyrinth is an acclaimed independent bookstore that caters to both the university and the township of Princeton for all their bookish needs. If Barnes and Noble had a hipster younger sibling, Labyrinth would be it. Somehow both cozy and vast, Labyrinth has everything - and I mean everything - a reader could possibly want. They don't limit themselves to the same old, same old of shelf upon shelf of book and tome; you can also get anything else you might need to make your reading experience a comfortable one! Tea to warm your insides, notebooks to remind yourself to look up those pesky long words you don't quite remember the meaning of, pens galore, fun experiments for kids so they leave you alone and, of course, socks so that your tootsies don't fall off while you get lost in Middle Earth.
And books. Books beyond measure. Any subject you can think of, Labyrinth will have something on it. The shelves are jam packed with just about every book you can imagine and, if you can't find what you need, the staff will find it for you or, in the unlikely event they don't have it, order it in! Better still, if you're a Princeton student, you get a discount!
Even if you're not book mad (I am, can you tell?), Labyrinth hosts all sorts of events to make sure everyone is included. Think readings, signings, informational talks, open mics and dance nights! No matter what your bookishness, there's definitely something for you!
If you want to look into Labyrinth, you can go visit them on Nassau St; Princeton's main drag, or head on over to their website! And, if you haven't done so already (really, what are you doing), go over to my Facebook page and give it a like so you never miss a shit or a lit post!
Happy reading!
