Description
A millennial hipster who opened this bookstore around six years ago with an ex-partner after quitting their office job. Total extrovert. They're a big fan of people watching and like that every book donated comes with a story of its previous owners, and every person who comes into the store also brings a story. They love engaging with the world around them, and are a big fan of coffee, old music records, archives and World War 2 history.
