Wanderlust is exactly what people mean when they say shop local and support independent local bookstores. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming and contributes positively to the community in a variety of ways. Online shopping through bookshop.org can support their shop too, and they can help shoppers access audiobooks too. As a local self-published author, I love that they support writers and creators like me too!

What a fabulous shop! Popped in to kill time before an appointment and it was like wandering into my own private library. 🥰 In addition to some of the best stocked fiction, non-fiction, and fantasy sections I’ve seen in some time (nearly everything in the shop is on my TBR!), I was delighted to see a table for Hispanic Heritage month, a social justice section, and some damn cool banned book reading trackers (fall project is a go!). As a dedicated library nerd, I rarely buy books these days but I just had to support this place. If you’re in need of a pick me up, do yourself a favor and stop in!

Such a lovely shop! I loved the diversity of voices and subjects. This bookstore has something for everyone. Wonderful atmosphere that capped off a perfect afternoon in Bothell!

I like Wanderlust books and live that they do blind dates with books. They have a pretty good selection of adult books but most of theit children's books are picture books with only a few small selves of chapter books.
