As far as I’m concerned, cities can always use more independently owned bookstores. New bookstores mean new places to browse and find books that fit your niche and support small businesses. Jupiter’s Eye Book Cafe celebrates its grand opening this Friday with festivities featuring food, drinks, a special guest appearance and book signing by Legends & Lattes author Travis Baldree, and, of course, plenty of tomes to peruse. Jupiter’s Eye specializes in mystery, sci-fi and fantasy books, but also offers a selection of beer, wine, coffee and tea. I see many cozy bookstore weekends in the future for all of Spokane’s bookworms!
