I walked into the store and found a warm, comfortable atmosphere and lovely people. I joined one of the book clubs and look forward to discussing the books.

The cutest little book store! I stopped in for the first time the other day when visiting from out of town. The owner was so sweet and I enjoyed chatting with her. She also has her own books that she wrote for sale so I had to grab her first book in her murder mystery series. I also grabbed a book on Dolly Parton. She has a great variety, lots of new books, popular reads, kids books, and lots of other fun stuff! This would be the perfect place to stop in and get a gift for someone who loves to read or has kids!

Oh, what a little gem this is! We found this bookstore recently while on a road trip. The owner is warm, knowledgeable, and fun to visit with. Her laidback attitude immediately makes you feel relaxed and at home. She offers a great variety of books and the store is just the right size to be able to find what you want fairly quickly. I had to hold myself back! There were too many books I wanted. She offers sales and even a punchcard. Great book store!

I adore this store! I moved to Russell a year ago, and being an author myself, I came in looking for a way to display my work. Linda was so accomodating and has become a friend as well as a business partner. She's incredibly supportive of her community and offers a great variety of enriching clubs, meetings, and products that make her store the perfect place to hang out. And come on, it's right next to a coffee shop; how much more perfect could you get?

I've loved this store since it opened and think we're extremely fortunate to have it in northwest/northcentral Kansas! Whether you're searching for a new release, a gift, or a book club community, you'll find it here. Linda is incredibly helpful and knowledgable; she is always happy to make a recommendation, and if she doesn't have what you're looking for in-stock, she can order it for you.
