Absolutely Amazing! Perfect private owned book store. My daughter and I enjoyed it so very much! Cute, affordable, and inviting! 10/10 We will visit again!
My favorite indie bookstore! The owner, Christi, is so nice, friendly, and helpful. If she doesn't have a book that you are looking for, she can usually order it for you. She has a great selection that she is constantly adding to, including childrens books for both babies and kids, YA books, mystery, horror, fantasy, romance, non-fiction, and more. I love going here, and have even been taking my baby with me since she was only a few weeks old. Definitely worth a visit!
Such a wonderful local bookstore! Christie is so knowledgeable and passionate about books! Love the children’s selection! Love that she has book signing events & book club meet ups! I recommend them to anyone who will listen to me!
I absolutely LOVE coming here. I live about 25 minutes away, but make the drive for this store. The book selection is great, the owner Christie is AWESOME, and I love how fun she makes it to shop there. My favorite is the “blind book date” deal she does and it’s one of the reasons I like to go. The “gifts” part of this shop is also fun if you want to get that bookworm on your life a little book related gift. I also really appreciate how Christie makes time to chat with her customers and get to know them. I have even read and suggested books to others based on suggestions I have gotten from the owner. I am so happy to shop at independent bookstores and shops in general due to this reason. If you’re in need of a bookstore with a great atmosphere and book selection, I would recommend Splendid Sun Books & Gifts right in a heart beat!
Such a great bookstore. A gem in Rockport Texas. A place where you must visit if you are in the area. They have books in all the genres. The owner of the bookstore is so friendly and kind. She is such a sweet lady and helped us pick books in our genre and shared recommendations from other people too. They have a cute sitting area where you can chill and read. Their book selections are quite good. I just loved the vibe this bookstore gave. Me and my husband got a couple of books.
