We love books and we love exploring! My partner and I are day-tripping around my home state of Massachusetts to check out all the independent bookstores we can find. After a recent visit to the Peabody Essex Museum, we couldn’t resist checking out the local bookstore, Wicked Good Books in Salem, MA! It’s amazing how much they’ve fit into a space of this size, and the selection perfectly captures the completely unique vibe of the local area. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll definitely want to check it out too.

Don’t save your visit for Halloween season, either. Salem is Salem year-round, and it’s even easier to enjoy without the dense crowds. Local businesses like Wicked Good Books will appreciate your patronage all the more for it too.
