I love going to BotB. I like the atmosphere, they have a little cafe like area and a couch area to hangout. I like that im not terribly overwhelmed by options if I go just to pick a random book. Their book clubs are also pretty nice, both of the ones I did were very safe spaces as well.

This is by far my favorite bookstore in New Mexico. The store is so welcoming and makes finding your next read an experience you can get lost in. Every staff member is super friendly and provides the best recommendations when you aren't sure what you are looking for. With the 10 different book clubs, author signings and other community events, there is always something happening

This book store is my absolute favorite in all of ABQ! The staff is so friendly, there are tons of events each month, bookclubs, and their little cafe inside is a great way to start a new book! The atmosphere is super warm and inviting and their book selection is very well curated. They have a great mix of classics, good older stuff, and a new for all the major genres. And they are always amazing about calling to let you know when a book you ordered (or pre-ordered) is in! If you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for?! Go!

Books on the Bosque is not just a locally owned bookstore, it is a community of kind, caring people. I love the wide variety of book clubs and the many events promoting local authors each month. I love the ever-changing selection of books and the ability to order if they don’t have what I’m looking for. The staff have been nothing but friendly to me. I highly recommend it!

Quaint little bookstore with an excellent selection. The environment is very inviting and the cafe keeps you there. There are plenty of spaces to sit and read and the prices are not bad. I encourage for any bookstore lover to come take a visit.
