Words to Live By, a general-interest bookstore with a selection of music and movies, is opening in Moorhead, Minn., this month, Inforum reported.
Owner Jill Johnson and her husband, Kris, plan to have a soft opening for the store in early November followed by a grand opening on November 15. The bookstore, which is located at 819 Center Ave. in downtown Moorhead, will carry predominantly used books with a curated selection of new titles, along with some CDs and DVDs.
Prior to deciding to open Words to Live By, Johnson was selling books from a booth inside of an antique store in the Moorhead Center Mall. After learning that the mall would soon undergo some major changes, Johnson began considering starting a business of her own.
"So, I started looking and this beautiful space came to be and we decided this was the path we needed to go," Johnson recalled.
Johnson noted that while she has a personal preference for mysteries, the shop will have something for everyone. She hopes to bring in plenty of local authors and host book signings and meet and greets.
