Kat C.

Charleston, SC was an absolute dream 💛 just like the other stores I visited, this is a romance bookstore(Sweeter than Fiction) located on King St

Very cute and small store with a bunch of romance categories to browse through. However I wished it had a spot designated for non spicy books. The staff mentioned how it’s meant to be an adult store but I feel like romance books is more than just smut. Oh and sadly they don’t do blind date with a book 😔

Also visited a cat cafe about a 5 min walk away. Lovely place but definitely check to see if there’s cats haha. I went during a time most had gotten adopted and only seven were in(all of them were sleeping expect two) cafe is a very loose term too— I’m pretty super it’s drip coffee so if you go don’t go for the coffee 😅

-Sweet than Fiction
-Pounce

When I went to these two spots I noticed I don’t fit in. Not that there’s anything wrong with these people, but I don’t get along even with book girls in the same way. I like solitude and I don’t like small talk. It’s a reason I love to read. I love the way I can be on my own and that I can have fun on my own without needing company.

I went to SC by myself. It was my first solo trip and I was scared at first but surprisingly I had a lot of fun. It was peaceful and I could do what I want, go where I want, without needing to consult someone else first. I will definitely be doing more solo trips from now on 💛
