Pennsylvania wasn’t the only place we stopped for books. The route we took led us to Ohio.
And that’s where we ended up at The Book Loft. It’s located in Columbus, Ohio and opened in 1977.

The next bookstore we stopped at was Riverstone Books. It’s the largest independent bookstore in Pittsburgh. First opened in 2017, Riverstone Books now has two stores and has a large curated selection of books.

When Cowboy Tator was announced I thought he was such a nice vision of a QH. I decided to try to get drawn during the last round. To my surprise I was picked!

He arrived and I’m so happy I was drawn. This is one of a few different mane versions that will be released.

He reminds me so much of the horses I watched at the ranch horse show.

I don’t currently have plans for colors or anything of the sort. He’ll be a fun western performance model when he’s painted though!

The first indie bookstore we stopped at was Completely Booked.

It’s located in Murraysvolle and is in a plaza. It was a small and adorable indie bookstore. It was packed with many genres on its shelves.

Sections were divided with an array of books.

I love to see the different decorations bookstores stage around the space.

This was a fun place to begin the bookstore tour!


I left with a copy of Kiss The Girl by Zoraida Cordova. I’d been meaning to get a copy for myself and what better place to get a copy than an indie?!
