Ranking the BEST bookstores in Washington, DC 📚 | bookstore crawl ep. 4

Описание: Today we’re ranking the best bookstores in Washington DC after visiting six different shops during our trip for HYROX DC 2026. If you love indie bookstores, book shopping, bookish travel, this is the 4th installment of this series!

We explored independent bookstores around Washington DC and Northern Virginia to see which ones are worth visiting... BUT we did have to check out the local Barnes & Noble, as well.

📚 Bookstores featured in this video:

• Old Town Books (Alexandria, VA)
• Friends to Lovers (Alexandria, VA)
• Daydrift Books & Cafe (Arlington, VA)
• Lost City Books (Washington, DC)
• Second Story Books (Washington, DC)
• Honorable mention: Barnes & Noble (Washington, DC)

Of course I couldn’t walk into an indie bookstore without supporting them, so we also did a little book haul.

Books purchased:

📚 Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
📚 Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
📚 Red Rising by Pierce Brown
📚 Just Friends by Haley Pham
📚 Babel by R. F. Kuang
