| - My daughter and I just found out about this amazing bookstore yesterday, when we went there to buy tickets for a Sherman Alexie event.
The minute I walked through the door, I thought to myself, "OMG! This is the first time I haven't felt like an alien since moving to Phoenix." My daughter, literally, had to drag me out of the store. I could have stayed there for hours (honestly, days).
However, despite urging us out the store, as we were leaving, my daughter said to me, "Mom, this place feels like Portland. I've not felt this good since we moved to Phoenix."
Not only does Changing Hands have a wonderful energy and an amazing staff, but a co-worker tells me that they sponsor all kinds of book-related events, such as the Sherman Alexie talk, throughout the year, and apparently, have a Frida Kahlo "convention" each year.
I wish I'd known about this place a long time ago. But, now that I know, I have a second home.
