Creating a believable fictional world is just as important as creating your characters and plot. I personally love to sit down and map out my make-believe town so that my characters can walk through it consistently. Part of this process, though, is creating names for every one of the businesses your character encounters! I don't think any small town is complete with a bookstore, whether it's new and vibrant, old and dusty, or somewhere in between.
Here are some bookstore names I've come up with during the process. I can't guarantee you that any of these haven't been used before, but they're a lot of fun!
The Bookmark
Between the Lines
Booktopia
Flip the Page
Volumes of Books
Alexandria's Books (extra points if you get this one)
It's About Tome
Gutenberg's Dream (more extra points on this one)
An Open Book
By the Book (or Buy the Book!)
A Book by its Cover
Read the Room
Cover to Cover
As you can tell, I like store names that are a little punny. What would you add to the list? I'd love to know!
