This bookstore is whimsical! There are two levels with the non-fiction area being down the stairs and everything else being on the main level. There are so many great options and I love the fact that this bookstore sells cute book-lovers merchandise like socks and other little knicknacks! They also have art for sale and overall it's a lovely space to go and spend a Saturday exploring. 10/10 recommend!

Pretty good selection. I appreciated the diverse/inclusive authors and novels. Considering how busy they were on a Saturday afternoon, the staff truly made my experience memorable. They were AMAZING and so helpful. I will definitely be back!!

Such an incredible bookstore!! Their selection is fantastic, with well-organized shelves and tables for delightful browsing. This shop had such a great atmosphere, too - lots of customers were happily milling about and recommending books to each other and discussing past reads. I also loved the variety of staff picks highlighted throughout the store. The staff were also super helpful and friendly. Highly, highly recommend - I already can't wait to go back!

The books recommended by the staff are carefully chosen, curating a select few rather than attempting to cover every literary genre. There's even a corner dedicated to children's books, with a special emphasis on those penned by local authors. This store exudes an awareness of current trends with its collection of bestsellers, books adapted into movies, and banned books, especially relevant during Banned Books Week.

I’ve been looking for an indie bookstore since moving to Atlanta, and I think I’ve found it here! The store is charming and well curated, the staff was very helpful and welcoming, and the selection was great for a small location. I had trouble locating a book, and one of the booksellers was more than happy to help. She also shared information on local events and signings; definitely will be coming back soon for my Christmas gift shopping!
