Bremerton's hottest bookstore is Ballast Book Company.

This bookstore has 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨—books, stickers, cards, tea, toys, bookaroos, pride flags, plants named after pop stars, and a haunted puppet who enjoys carpentry.

Anyway, there are so many more of you than there were a year ago, so we figured it was time to give everyone a mini (digital) tour of Ballast! Feel free to pop in and browse if you want to check it out for yourself 🤗📚 taken in Bremerton, Washington by @ballastbookco

The ghosts that haunt the bookstore are coming out to play for one night only! Join them for trick or treat bags and drinks, a chance to wear your Halloween costume, a photo station, and receive a book recommendation from one of the ghosts themselves!

No tickets required! Trick or treat bags and drinks will only be given to those in costume, though.

Should you choose to socialize with the spirits, do not cling to your corruptible, mortal state too much, for they are 𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 to have you...
