Sweet little bookstore with a cool back story. This was my first visit, and I was able to pick up a book by a local author, something I always try to do when I visit a new-to-me independent bookstore. Co-owner was manning the desk and was super friendly. I shall return!

Charming little bookstore that was recommended to me by the librarians at the Downtown Huntsville Library. I didn't catch the name of the lady working that day, but she was super friendly and suggested some books for me. Thank you for leaving a note in my journal!

Support your local businesses! Snail on the Wall has great book finds and even has a local section. I love their children’s books as well. If you don’t see what you are looking for, they can also order it for you! They also have events often so you can connect better with your community. Check them out

This is such a cute and cozy bookshop, with a nice atmosphere and a very good selection! Went in June, and I loved how they even had a pride corner and another one with banned books too! Purchased some books and planning to go back soon~

The Snail has always been a wonderful local bookstore option, but even better now that they have a brick & mortar location. They provide amazing customer service and put on great events - author talks/signings, release parties, etc. We love the Snail!
