God I love this bookstore so much! Delightful atmosphere, wonderful people, and a great selection. And cats! I recently had an order that took longer than expected to arrive (not a big deal at all, was just confused as to what happened), and Tory was so sweet and helpful getting me sorted out. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

My husband went in looking for Christmas gifts and was very impressed with his experience. The associates said they could look at my Goodreads account and put together a gift bag based on it! I opened up a GREAT gift bag of 5 books - some I was familiar with and some I wasn’t. Along with each book came a personalized note explaining why they’d chosen it. 10/10 would recommend as a destination for book lovers. I had so much fun unwrapping each book!

This is one of the coolest bookstores I've ever seen I cannot believe it's in Lincoln it looks like a bookstore that I used to go to in Boulder Colorado all the time. Very welcoming, ambient lighting and a very calming atmosphere. Lots of amazing choices in books and other items for purchase. They also have a cat room that you can go into and hang out with the cats which was awesome. The lady that helped me at the end was very very nice, very helpful and kind. Strongly recommend taking a look at this place it's a bookstore you'll never forget.

Love this independent bookstore in Lincoln! They have a solid selection of non-fiction, literary fiction, romance, historical fiction, fantasy, sci fi, children’s, and even local authors! Was able to find lots of books I’ve been wanting to read, as well as new Nebraska authors I never knew about! The selection is very diverse as well. Staff is friendly and greet you as you come in. They also have the cutest cat cave that you can visit, tons of bookish gifts, candles, puzzles, DND items, bookmarks, and more! There were also baked goods up for grabs! The coziest spot and I am obsessed 😍

Two weekends ago my husband and I went on our first of (hopefully) many Nebraska Passport road trips and of the three or four independent bookstores that we stopped at, this one was definitely my favorite! The store is large but still feels totally cozy. Along side books you can also find puzzles, stuffed animals, stickers, games, pencils, journals and notebooks, socks, and Nebraska themed products. My favorite find was a tin of mints with Eeyore on them called "disappointments"!
