Like it or not, Buffalonians have begun to adjust to living in an era in which big-chain bookstores are now empty spaces that have been turned into seasonal Halloween shops or have been left to collect dust. If we can’t even manage to find a Border’s or Barnes & Noble, how are we ever supposed to stumble upon our next story to curl up with? Luckily for us, Buffalo’s oldest and largest independent bookstore is filled to the brim with great reads! Check it out:

Right on Elmwood Avenue, Talking Leaves Books has been around since 1975.
