Directly across from the Spam Museum, visitors to the Austin area will find Sweet Reads Books, the new (and used) bookstore. While this lovely storefront houses tons of books to check out, it’s the experience of the place that will stick with you. Check out the 30-foot train inside the store, or the other genre treats around the store. When you want a pick-me-up, be sure to check out the old fashioned candy display or frozen treats. The store is home to some beautiful objects available for purchase that are often literary-themed, and local authors often stop by for a reading.
