Lit. on Fire, Next Chapter…
Here we are at Lit. on Fire Book Store. One of my favorite places on Main Street in Peoria!
I think I see a familiar face over in the room off to the side from the main entrance…
It’s the owner, operator and star of Lit. on Fire, Jessica! So great to see her back in action after her battle with Leukemia for nine months!
I got her an award with a boxing glove and boot that says, “Jessica Kicked Leukemia’s Ass!”
Congratulations on winning that battle Jessica, we were all rooting for you and it’s wonderful to have you back here in this community gathering book store that you created nine years ago!
Now let’s take a look around in here and check out the latest Lit. on Fire chapter, already in progress!
As you can see, there’s a wonderful inventory of books in here and there’s lots of titles you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re a book lover, you need to stop in here on a regular basis!
It was flag day when I stopped in here, so I had to get a couple shots of flags in here and Jessica has a whole display of flags of all kinds for sale in here!
Here’s a comfy area to stop, relax and enjoy one of the fascinating books in here. I love the wall painting behind the couch!
The different displays of books in here are wonderful!
There’s even move books to peruse in this back room.
And I love the Punks in Peoria display! It’s a vinyl album, a CD and a book, a triple threat, but stop in and buy them at Lit. on Fire, it’s so much more fun purchasing them in person!
There’s lots of fun art and posters in here and I think that painting has been in the store since the very beginning!
In addition to the huge inventory of ever-changing books in here…
There’s also cards, coffee mugs, stickers, bookmarks, buttons and all sorts of fun items in here!
And Jessica has lots of fun events happening here all of the time.
Next Wednesday from noon to 6pm there’s a Pride Pop Up Shop happening here and you can read all about that by clicking right here.
There’s a Get Lit. Open Mic Night every third Wednesday of the month at Lit. on Fire that’s always a lot of fun and filled with people that make it a nice community gathering.
Welcome back, Jessica and thanks for all you do for Peoria!
