Indie Bookstore Owner Candace Rivera of The Book & Nook in Warwick, NY | Episode 3

Who among us hasn’t fantasized about stepping off the career treadmill and opening a cozy independent bookstore? In August 2023, Candace Rivera did just that. As her shop, The Book & Nook in Orange County, NY, celebrates its first anniversary (a huge milestone for any small business), we chat about living the dream, graphic novels, bookstore cats, and why representation matters.
And if you can’t get to The Book & Nook but like what you see, you can always support the shop by buying from their bookshop.org site.
