 <\/div>\n
If you read Carloz Ruiz Zaf\u00f3n\u2019s Shadow in the Wind<\/em> series<\/a>, for instance, then you know that Barcelona\u2019s intricate streets, mysterious Gothic quarter, and Tibidabo hill are now the subject of literary tours for Zaf\u00f3n fans.<\/div>\n

Legendary Bookshops<\/strong><\/h2>\n
New York City is home to a host of shops selling classics and new releases alike. It is also an active, lively hub, with stores like the Astoria Bookshop hosting a myriad of creative writing workshops<\/a>, talks by top authors, and story time sessions for kids.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If you\u2019d love to inspire your children to read more<\/a>, then signing them up for these sessions is a great way to get them excited about new releases and the possibility of meeting new friends. Lead by example, attending literary events and enriching your library and theirs.<\/div>\n

Many children and older teens dream of meeting iconic authors like David Walliams, Alice Oseman, or Stephenie Meyer. Other iconic bookshops with reading material for older and younger readers alike are Poets House (which, as its name suggests, is heavily centered on poetry), the Greenlight Bookstore (which also hosts numerous events, readings, and author signings), and The Strand Bookstore (with over three floors of fabulous books).<\/div>\n
