I made it to Athenix Books and Brews yesterday, so I can make a real blog post today! I am still anxiously awaiting the Brews part of the equation. Nick, the owner, told me to watch his Facebook page, because the public will be invited to a tasting to decide which roast will be the Chosen Brew. He said he sought out the best of the best: local, ethically sourced, etc. That will certainly be worth another blog post.
Speaking of local…
I naturally asked where my sister’s books were. I found Soulmates and Wednesday Wine Club by Diane E. Young on the Local Authors table. I browsed the whole store, of course, and found another Fanny Flagg book as well as a self-help book I had previously gotten out of the library at a doctor’s recommendation: Atomic Habits by James Clear. I thought if I actually had my own copy of the book I might actually change some of my habits for the better. No promises, of course.
Owner Nick Bennett designs and makes all his merch.
While there I got my free monthly t-shirt, because I am a member of The Keep. I got a discount on the books too.
Other goodies for a future visit.
As I said, I browsed the entire store, including some lovely jewelry and tempting hats. Shouldn’t everybody have a witch’s hat? OK, I already have two or three, but there are different! And I will never have enough earrings.
Athenix Books and Brews is located at 624 E. Main St., Little Falls, NY. They are open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. And you should totally follow them on Facebook, because Nick is often posting something interesting about a specific book or progress he is making on the store. Check it out!
