What a gem of a bookstore! Shared Stories is a true treasure in the heart of Caldwell, and supporting this local business was an absolute honor. George provided exceptional customer service—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about books. Whether you’re hunting for cookbooks, children’s stories, fiction, or nonfiction, this place has it all. The cozy atmosphere and thoughtful selection make it easy to get lost in the shelves. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our family decided that this year we would do all of our Christmas shopping locally, and Shared Stories in Caldwell has absolutely become one of our new favorite places. The store is so thoughtfully put together, clean, cozy, beautifully organized, and you can tell there is real care behind everything they do. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I also had to call in a special order and the process could not have been easier. They handled everything quickly and professionally, and my items arrived to the store earlier than expected. That alone beat any experience I’ve had with big name retailers. If you’re looking for gifts, books, or a place that truly supports community, shop here before going to Barnes and Noble or ordering off Amazon. Supporting a local business like this feels good and you get better service too. Highly recommend Shared Stories for anyone in Caldwell or the Treasure Valley.

I hope this little magical place stays open forever. I absolutely love this bookstore. It has the coziest atmosphere and has quickly become one of my favorite places to visit. My boyfriend and I recently had a dinner date at the plaza and couldn’t resist stopping by afterward to pick up a new book. I also love bringing my kids here to choose their own books. It has really sparked their love for reading! We’ve attended several events as a family, and every experience has been wonderful. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. I can’t say enough good things about this gem of a bookstore!
