Congratulations to Parnassus Books, Nashville, Tenn., voted the Best Bookstore in Nashville by Nashville Scene writers and readers. McKay Used Books and BookMan/BookWoman came in second and third place, respectively. 
The magazine wrote about Parnassus: "You are what you read, and the late 2010 closing of bookstore Davis-Kidd left a void in many of our hearts--and our bookshelves. Fortunately, local author Ann Patchett came to our rescue with the November 2011 opening of Parnassus Books. Located in the same zip code, but in a cozier, more intimate space, Parnassus offers prime real estate to local authors, promotes book clubs and community events, and boasts a lovingly curated children's section that will instantly transport you back to the days when you broke your bedtime curfew and read under the covers with a flashlight."
Parnassus was also picked as the Best Story Hour in Nashville (writers' choice), and Ann Patchett was voted the Best Local Author (readers' poll), followed by Alice Randall and Kimberly Novosel.
Davis-Kidd Booksellers came in second place in the Best Places You Wish Had Never Gone Out of Business category.
