Novel is a great bookstore. I came here to bring my son to a story time once and it’s so sweet that they put on story times for the little kids. There is also a whole restaurant inside of here if you get hungry. They have a lot of books to buy/choose from. And they have stationary as pictured. In their cooking book section, they also have kitchen supplies and mugs. This is a cute little bookstore. 10/10 would recommend.

Combines my two favorite things! Wine and a good book! I could spend hours here. The selection of books are great and there's so many unique trinkets and gifts for the book worm in your life. The bartenders are stellar and the bar is perfect to get that first read of your book in. I didnt try the food but there was lots of traffic to the restaurant. I stop here every time Im in Memphis. Its a drive from city center but the shopping center is worth it.

The atmosphere is so relaxing. Right when you come in the door your Blood Pressure immediately goes down. The smells! the aromas!-- from the dinning room mixed with new books hot off the press, candles and other delights- it's like a little piece of heaven on earth. My Sunday ritual- New York Times, brunch and fellowship with friendliest of staff.

We LOVE Novel SO much!! We are there at least once a month throughout the year and once a week in the summer time. They have great programs such as bookclubs, author talks, story times and more. They have all genres of books and can order anything you could possibly imagine if they do not already have it in store. It's a big bookstore with a cafe/restaurant inside and did you know they have a basement?! (Only accessible for employees and special programs). Their staff is amazing & recommendation displays are absolutely stunning and have the best new reads.

Such a cute bookstore and the cafe inside was wonderful! We were visiting from out-of-town this weekend, and stopped by to shop and eat at the cafe. I was very impressed by the book selection, and I was also able to buy a few gifts while I was there. Novel is now on my list to visit every time we go to Memphis!
