I have shopped here multiple times! The owner is a true bibliophile and gives great book recs. She truly has a great selection of books, board games, and caramels. They are a bit addictive. She’s also ordered books for me for my book club.

Bought only two books so far but spent 65! If the owner did not spot the beautiful hard back that had yet to be released, I wouldn't have one of the prettiest books in my collection! Also one of the books actually went through a misprint!!! She was on top and kept me up to date. I got a copy made right too!

My favorite book store. There’s something for every reader and interest here. If you’re unsure what you’re looking for, Ashley is great at helping find the perfect thing for every occasion. I love the atmosphere. It’s adult and kid friendly. Curbside pickup and ordering online are super easy. They have a website that’s easy to navigate and find what you’re looking for. Highly recommend for all your reading or gift needs.
