My friend and I and came to Midland for a book themed event Oct. 12th, but we came a few days early to sightsee. We decided on bookstore hoping. We found Plot Twist on Google and were so happy we decided to check it out. The shop owner was so nice and inviting on our visit. She has a wonderful and large selection of books, Manga, music records, and bookish merch. It really was hard not to walk out with everything. She even had a suprise gumball machine that my friend and I spun 3 times each. It was filled with fun bookish pins, earrings, and keychains, and I even got a cute book worm themed pen. If you love books and are in the Midland Texas area I HIGHLY recommend stopping in at Plot Twist! You will be so happy you did!
