I am passionate about reading. I love all things books, the books, the bookmarks and most of all the bookstores that carry all the book things. Writer's Block Exchange is a well stocked and diversly filled bookstore in Winter Park. I loved seeing the section dedicated to banned books!! This shop has everything, novels, romance, thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, memoirs, science fiction, autobiographies, self-help books, hobbies, cook books, childrens and young adult. They carry book marks, mugs, socks, greeting cards, note cards, and all the cozy things that add to the wonderful reading experience. There are an assortment of knick knacks & pretty gifting options. The service was great, the owner saw my daughter checking out a book and immediately gave her a recommendation on a book series. Service and affordable prices.

What an amazing place. We really need more small stores like this one. Full Of books and knowledge and great stuff. The staff? From the moment we entered, they made us feel welcome and made sure we could find everything we wanted. I could get lost in this place. The kids section is awesome. Places to read, places to rest. Tons of books and crafty stuff. The decor, the staff, the entire atmosphere creates an epic experience!!!

This is a fun bookstore to explore! They have books of just about every genre you can think of, lots of journals and stationary, stickers, puzzles and more. They even have an entire bookshelf of books in Soanish and a second level for children's books. The staff was welcoming and I enjoyed talking with them. Thank you for signing my journal! 😊

Amazing bookstore, very spacious with many options. This location has a very spacious upstairs dedicated to kids selection! I always come here to check out what’s new or get old banned books. I didn’t know this was the same store as winter garden but I recommend both locations, this one is larger! Super cute blind date with a book that they have available.

I have been shopping here since the opening of the original store and have loved to see how it has expanded and continues to grow. It was a much-needed addition to Central Florida. The book selection is incredibly diverse from local authors to national best sellers. There is a book there for everyone. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the cafe is a nice addition to sip coffee, spend time writing and/or reading one of your new selections. I also appreciate all of the visiting authors and story time that they promote.
