Books To Be Red

I was on the island as part of my quest to visit all 100 counties in North Carolina. I'm so glad that I found this book shop as part of my visit to Hyde County. I picked up some fun gifts and had a great conversation with the storekeeper about possible poetry books she could carry. I always try to pick up some poetry at any independent bookshop I find. I definitely hope I get to come back someday!

This is our second time going to Ocracoke Island, and this cute little bookstore is a mainstay for us every time! The owner is very personable, and gets in books that you might not find elsewhere! There’s something for everyone, and it’s really fun how she has surprising activities throughout her bookstore! I highly recommend!

One of the cutest little bookstores. You WILL find your next favorite book here. And there are so many books to choose from!! From current popular reads to classics, this local place has it all. If you’re visiting, you have to pop in!

Wow, Books To Be Red is an island treasure! I love books and bookstores; this was a must see and I was not disappointed. The owner was very kind and gave me some recommendations on locally inspired fiction novels. I also picked up a "Blind Date with a Book" which is a gift-wrapped book with a few handwritten hints as to what it contains. I have yet to unwrap it but I am very excited to see what it is. This should be your first stop to pick up your beach read. In addition to the large selection of books for all ages and genres, you can find gifts, pottery, children's toys and more.
