Ashima Shiraishi Instagram – @powellsbooks has been high on my list of places to go for a hot minute and the place did not disappoint! I associate bookstores with my childhood days which always seem to give me a sense of nostalgia, in a good way… On the topic of childhood and books, it was very surreal to see my book on a shelf for the first time! Cannot get over the fact that my book is in Powell’s 😆 bonus slides: I’m pretty sure we found the deepest secrets to the universe in the metaphysics aisle. Powell’s Books, Inc.
