I do love B&N, loved a demised chain that I suddenly can't remember the name of (also with a B?) AND always went to Independent 💖 Bookstores, too!

ha, sometimes the universe gives you answers-
scrolling down my FB news feed there's a announcement for a Art Competition whose name starts with "Borders _____".

That's it - 🥰😥😥 Borders Bookstore!
