I loved this bookstore! As an avid reader it had a little bit of everything: fiction, children’s section, an entire room devoted to books about romance, cute bookmarks and assorted gifts. I’m so glad I found it and hope to visit again sometime. There is free parking behind the store.

The Novel Neighbor is one of my favorite small businesses in St. Louis. The staff is always pleasant and well versed in all genres, Shelby was especially helpful with helping pick a sci Fi book. Absolutely worth a visit and support local!

The cutest little indie bookstore. Lots of genres available for all ages. A kids section room, a romance section room (with an entire section of autographed copies), a classics section and a ton of bookish merchandise! Highly recommend!

While out running errands I decided to look for a local bookshop nearby. The Novel Neighbor popped up. I arrived on a Saturday right at opening time. I did a quick tour around and thought how does no one know about this place?! How wrong I was. Within 5 mins the place was PACKED!! How did I not KNOW about this place?! The employees all just seemed like good friends and were very helpful when I couldn’t find my book. They even have a side just for romance 🙄🙄(🤣). I can’t wait until I go back. I’ll take my sister. She loves romance books.
