Mall paperbacks and the calendar kiosk.

The mall bookstore where you killed time waiting for a movie — spinner racks of paperbacks, magazines, the bargain table, and the seasonal calendar kiosk parked out front every December. Small, warm, and always right between the food court and the anchor store. Its parent merged it into Borders, and the last stores closed in 2011.
