Longtime insta follower, first time IRL visitor. Excited to pop into after Christmas for their 50% sale. It’s great to see small bookstores so busy!! Makes me bookish girlie heart happy. Good selection of books ranging from mystery, romance, fantasy, general fiction, kids and non-fiction. A few separate rooms to explore. The book wall is Regency era vibes and I’m so here for it. Will definitely be back to this spot to check out some of their monthly events.

This place is delightful and warm and you just want to grab a book, pick a booth, and stay for a while. I love that they have fun niche books mixed in with to the more popular titles you might be more familiar with. I even found some titles that made me giggle like: The Field Guide to Dumb Birds in North America. It’s great that in addition to new books, the bottom shelf features used books as well. (If you have gently used books lying around, whether they are old favorites or in your TBR pile consider donating them to the store for a discount on your purchase.) I fell in love with these Reader Guides created by author, Veronica Eden. They are so fun @veronicaedenuthor and such a great idea! As well as books and snacks, there are a handful of neat finds that would make good gifts. I left with two enamel pins, a toothy shark and a smiling sun. (The sun for Isabel and me, and the shark for Stephen. It reads “LIVE EVERY WEEK LIKE IT’S SHARK WEEK” which is perfect for a poker player.) When I returned with Stephen he purchased a few more pins to go with his shark, which he added to a thrifted hat he picked up in town. We spoke to one of the owners while we were there, and I had spoken to the other on my first visit. The store is owned by two sisters, both lovely humans, and I’m so glad there’s a place like this in the area. I wish you all were closer because I would spend a lot of time here. Especially considering you have regular events, like a Cozy Gamer’s Night and crafting like Friendship Bracelet Making Class. Looking forward to my next visit. (Perhaps I’ll bring you all some books.)

They can order any book you need, and they have a great selection to choose from. They also have other cute little items like stickers, stationary, candles and more. You have to check them out asap!
