The layout is more spacious, there are a variety of cozy seating options to enjoy your new finds, and they have expanded their selection even more than the previous location. I'm happy they now have records available for purchase. The store has a cool vibe and the employees are very friendly, happy, and helpful. I adore this bookstore and recommend it to all my friends and family.

I had a specific book in mind that I wanted to look for, but I had to give up because I couldn't get into the section due to there being no space to walk around people. I didn't even get a chance to see what their prices are like, so I can't really comment on much aside from how adorable it looks on the inside and I wish I could have walked around freely!

I was delighted to see that this wonderful bookshop was opening in downtown Statesville! I started following the journey on FB, and I was so happy to walk in the doors today while visiting from Colorado. This type of shop is exactly what Statesville needs. They have done an absolutely incredible job of making it so open and inviting while having a wonderful selection of genres. They also host a plethora of book clubs to suit any reader's fancy. Come check them out!

A very nice small business selling new and used books. Loved the vibe. As soon as I walked in I…read morefelt a sense of calm. Light music playing in a quiet store was very nice. If it wasn't late in the day I would have stayed a lot longer. I really liked the separate rooms and nooks for different age groups. There is plenty of places to sit and read, regardless of your age or genre of books. I will be back when I have more time. If you are a lover of books you should stop in and check them out.

There also didn't seem to be a wide variety of genres available. If you're someone who already knows exactly what book you're looking for, this store may work well for you. However, I wouldn't recommend it for people who enjoy browsing and exploring different genres before making a purchase.

The coffee was excellent, the prices were refreshingly affordable, and the book selection was thoughtfully curated. It's the kind of place where you could easily spend a few hours with a good book or your laptop without feeling rushed. I also loved seeing all the community events and gatherings they host--it really feels like a place that brings people together. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

The barista saw me from a mile away and knew I needed a coffee, so by the time I turned to him, he was able to understand what I wanted from afar and started making it before I could even approach the register.

The book selections were awesome, the shelf decorations were gorgeous, and I really felt immediate can ship with the staff based on their recommendations. HIGHLY recommended

My Chapter House is the kind of bookstore that feels like it wandered out of a rom-com and decided…read moreto settle down in charming downtown Hickory. The experience starts before you even open the door. The entrance is darling. A picture-perfect window display tucked under an awning that already sets the tone: cozy, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who get readers. Once inside, you're welcomed by a warm little entry area filled with reader-centric gifts. Notepads, pens, beautiful bookmarks, and the kind of clever, charming finds you actually want to pick up. I even spotted a ball cap that said "Bookish," which was equal parts cute and tempting. Then the space opens up, and wow. Antique metal tile ceilings, a wide open layout, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lining the walls. The floor space is anchored by large, beautiful wooden tables styled with books and reader gifts. Everything feels intentional and aesthetic without crossing into cluttered. When I visited, it was Valentine's season, and the chandeliers were decorated with paper heart garlands. Somehow whimsical without feeling busy, which is no small feat. One section that especially stood out to me was their Christian book selection. They have a wonderful, thoughtfully curated collection of Christian fiction and Christian nonfiction, along with truly beautiful and unique Bibles. I noticed options like a spiral-bound journaling Bible that's designed for easy note-taking. As a Christian, this felt especially meaningful. So many Christian bookstores have closed, and large chain bookstores tend to lump everything under a vague "spiritual" category, which makes it hard to know what you're actually buying. That can feel unsettling as a Christ follower, so seeing a clear, intentional, and high-quality Christian section here was refreshing and reassuring. There's even a designated gift-wrapping area, which honestly feels like a love language. Downstairs, the charm continues with a coffee shop area complete with tables where you can read, work, or linger. The children's book section is also downstairs and impressively stocked. The colors, the displays, the flow of the space -- it all strikes that rare balance of being visually interesting while still peaceful. This is a fantastic bookstore for readers, obviously, but it's also a great stop for people who don't naturally gravitate toward books. You can grab a coffee, find a thoughtful gift, or just soak in the atmosphere. They also host workshops and book clubs. At checkout, I noticed a past workshop that involved creating a wreath or large flower out of old book pages. Such a creative and meaningful way to repurpose books. My Chapter House isn't just a bookstore. It's an experience. One you'll want to return to, linger in, and probably tell your friends about.
