This space is so wonderful! The owner is nice, the vibes are good and there are so many great books and book-related items to browse and buy. I also love their Bingo promotion because it gives me an excuse to regularly stop in (plus I am very checklist/goal oriented—haha). Highly recommend for any book lovers, especially romance and fantasy (of course).

Afterglow Books is nestled in the 2nd floor of the Hiraeth House. Their selection of new and used fantasy and romance books is fantastic! I love browsing their variety of teas, stickers, and candles. The Read It! Adult Reading challenge in collaboration with Macy's Pizzeria is such a fun and engaging initiative. It's the perfect place to pick up your next read or find a unique gift for a friend. Highly recommend!

Afterglow Books is the perfect place for all your romance and fantasy book and swag needs. I love going for the Enchanted and Lover Book Clubs every month, and just attended a jewelry making class. I always have such a great time there. Kristina has curated a beautiful space and brought together a community of book lovers. Other than books, they have an amazing selection of teas, stickers, and book themed shirts/sweatshirts. It's the perfect place to pick up your next book, or find a gift for your favorite reader.

This is a lovely charming bookstore that sells romance and Romantasy. The owner is kind, knowledgeable and helpful. The bookstore is small, but she was adding an additional room with more bookshelves. There’s a new and used section. She has custom stickers for the holidays and year round. There’s some cute instagramable nooks. I encourage you to visit and shop local.
