The Midnight Dreary is a charming, family-owned independent bookstore in Port St. Lucie, Florida, run by a passionate mother-daughter duo. We specialize in curated books across genres, book-themed gifts, and unique literary events that bring readers together. Known for our warm, personalized service—like our 'blind date with a book' and themed holiday decorations—we create a welcoming space where every visitor feels at home. With a Little Free Library out front and reasonably priced selections, we're dedicated to making literature accessible and enjoyable for all.
I love this tiny bookshop. Super cute. Definitely stop by and check it out. I love their little events and it's a great way to support local small businesses! I found a raven on their Edgar Allen Poe day and got a free feather pen. But I couldn't leave without getting this reading journal and beautiful copy of Bridgerton.
I love this bookstore more than words can express. They are the sweetest and warmest mother daughter duo and from the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. I love the attention to detail, the themed holiday decorations, fun events they put on and the selection of books and book themed items for sale. I could go on and on truly. I really appreciate the amount of effort that goes into everything and it is definitely so appreciated. They even have a LFL up front and honestly that should tell you how much they love and care about books making it so accessible not to mention how everything in the store is beyond reasonably priced. Instead of supporting big ethically ambiguous corporations please come here and support this lovely small business 🖤✨
my family and i were in the stuart/psl area for a family trip. my favorite thing to do when visiting a new place is find the local book stores, and this store was so sweet! the mother daughter duo were thoughtful and attentive. my sisters and i walked in and we were immediately greeted, and shown some halloween goodies and activities! we all have different tastes and the three of us all found a couple of books to buy. when one of my sisters asked for for something specific — epic fantasy, with little to no spice — both of these women jumped into action to find something for her! this little book store was one of my favorite parts of our family vacation. if i’m ever back in the area, i will absolutely be back!
This shop is such a gem in the community! I absolutely love the little free library out front—it’s always fully stocked, and it feels so welcoming before you even walk in the door. Inside, the customer service is amazing—everyone is so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about books. The vibes are cozy and inviting, with great prices that make it easy to treat yourself (and others!) often. They also host the best events and it really makes the shop feel like a hub for local readers. I always leave feeling inspired and happy. If you love books, this is hands down the place to be.
Love love love The Midnight Dreary!! Their special events are fantastic, and their blind date with a books are so much fun! A must stop for every book lover!
