I'm in my early 40's, and I'm a huge YA fiction fan. Maybe I'm reliving my young adulthood, I don't know. Anyway, I follow this site called "YA Highway" -- so much fun. Every Wednesday, they have this thing called "Road Trip Wednesday". Here's their description...
Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link - or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments.
So here I am, adding my two-cents' worth to the YA Blog Carnival:

My bookstore would be relatively small -- kind of like the bookstore in the movie, Notting Hill. The entrance would look like this:
Isn't that cool? Found it on Pinterest here..
I would sell children's picture books, early chapter, chapter, middle grade, and of course...ya fiction. Fiction and non-fiction. A different section for each type of book, with decor that would appeal to each age group. Lots of pillows, cushions, comfy chairs to sit. I'd host story times for all age groups, and open-mic times where kids of all ages could share their writing.
As far as what to call this non-existent bookstore, I know not. If I wanted something ultra-cheesy, I'd go with Books-R-Us, or Barns and Nobles. But I don't. Since I'm lacking in the name-idea department, please feel free to name my bookstore if you'd like...
